entrepreneur

def: a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, esp. a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.

Some are just born with it. It's their natural inclination - to lead, not follow. To take a ton of risk. To be their own boss. To start the business themselves. Why? Because they can do a better job.

And then some are like me. They grow into it. Through life's circumstances (and trials and frustrations and successes and everything under the moon) they see the need for change and venture out. They learn from others good leadership and bad leadership. They soak it all in to then branch out on their own because doing the norm is boring (and getting me nowhere).

And so it is with me and ministry and sales. This is my Saturday revelation (ok, so maybe I've been pondering it awhile). I'm taking initiative and slapping risk around. I've concluded that you're much better off doing it yourself. Enjoy sales? Good at it? Then figure out how to start your own business. (Dana - wife - don't worry, not doing anything crazy here - stability remains in tact.) God gifted you for ministry? Then do what I'm going to do. Start your own.

For those interested (all 9 people who check in occasionally), I'll keep you updated as I figure out how to best use my gifts in ministry and life. Pray as I figure it all out.
