Entrepreneurs, this verse doesnβt whisper β it calls you out.
βDiligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor.β
β Proverbs 12:24
This isnβt just about working hard.
Itβs about whoβs in control.
The diligent entrepreneur builds systems, vision, margin, and freedom.
The lazy one β not always inactive, just undisciplined and inconsistent β ends up ruled by deadlines, stress, debt, bosses, algorithms, or other peopleβs expectations.
Hereβs the uncomfortable truth:
If you donβt choose diligence, something else will choose control for you.
π₯ Entrepreneur gut check:
Are you building something that will one day serve youβ¦
or are you slowly becoming a servant to the thing youβre building?
π Engage honestly:
Where do you need more diligence right now β your habits, your focus, or your follow-through?
