3 Value Bombs
1) The point of a business is to create both time and financial freedom so you can do what you believe God has called you to do.
2) Nail it then scale it. Most entrepreneurs don’t have a system. Once you’ve put a system in place, things become easier.
3) Be careful about defining what matters. Say no to the distractions and say yes to actions that matter.
