If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you get there? Scripture says “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18). And yet, too many entrepreneurs are building their businesses with no clarity letting the world dictate their direction and burning out trying to fit life around work. That’s backwards. God didn’t call you to hustle for survival. He called you to build with purpose. You were made for MORE… …a future filled with hope. But that starts with obedience. It starts with VISION. Get clear on what God has called you to build. Know your priorities. Define your nonnegotiables. Then build a life, and business, that honors Him. You weren’t called to be busy. You were Called For More.

☀️ Okay - so it's summer time and the need to be outside is stronger than ever. I've told people for years that I'm 'solar-powered'. I'm the girl who could sit on a beach and watch the surf for hours and not get bored. I could sit next to a pool on vacation and people-watch all day (and be treated to non-stop pina coladas) and feel like I was living in absolute luxury. So, with the outdoors calling to me, how do I make sure business doesn't fizzle like pouring water on the campfire? Here are a couple of tips that I thought you might enjoy... and I'd love to hear what you're doing this summer to keep your business growing. And if you're taking the summer off, what are some things you have in place to keep "the doors open"? ☀️ Angel's Summer Biz Tips: - Set Boundaries: Clearly communicate my work hours to family and friends to minimize interruptions. And to be sure that I schedule just as much time "away" from the office as I do "at the office". - Stay Inspired: Read books, listen to podcasts, or catch up on webinars to keep my entrepreneurial spirit alive. I like to pick up the phone and chat with my entrepreneur friends - not a zoom where I have to be indoors and camera-ready, but I sit outside and have an old-fashioned conversation that energizes me. - Reward myself: Set milestones and rewards like happy hour with a friend, ice cream or an early dinner for achieving them helps me stay motivated. It can be tough to maintain your focus and productivity throughout the summer, so I'd love to hear what you're doing to focus on growing.
