Proverbs 16:3 says, “Commit your activities to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” For leaders, this is a great reminder that true success comes when we align our goals with God’s purpose. However, many still struggle with an unexpected challenge—the fear of success. Overcoming this fear involves redefining it. It’s not about being the biggest or best—it’s about being faithful to God’s purpose. Embrace your achievements, take time to celebrate your progress, and guard against comparing yourself to others. As you commit your work to the Lord, trust that He will guide and establish your plans according to His will. We talk about this and other fears that often hold leaders back in the free Bible Reading Plan we developed in partnership with YouVersion: https://lnkd.in/eAYRedGX

Entrepreneurship can be tough. Uncertainty is often the name of the game, and it can be challenging to navigate leadership amid trials and difficulties. For leaders of faith, one steadfast principle has stood the test of time: trusting in God's guidance. In the realm of business, strategic decisions can make or break ventures, so the idea of relinquishing control and placing trust in a higher power may seem counterintuitive. However, sometimes faith serves as a guiding light, offering solace and direction in the face of adversity.
