It's the dark secret of many small business entrepreneurs – most are a couple of bad months away from total bankruptcy.

If you ask a room full of people with jobs why they go to work, what do you think their answer would be?  Probably something like, "To pay the bills… because I have to… because I have an addiction to living indoors with plumbing…" If you ask entrepreneurs why they work, what will THEY say? Probably something like, "Because I love my business… I'm doing what I love… I'm on a mission…" But pose...

Where did you get your beliefs about money? Chances are they were not consciously chosen, and that they aren't a well thought-out integrated "philosophy of money."

In this episode we'll bust the 21 most...

Have you ever felt guilty about the amount of stuff you have? This is something Christian entrepreneurs deal with all the time. It goes something like this, "If you were a real Christian you would sell your stuff and give the money to the poor."  This mindset has led to some really messed up thinking like affluenza…the "sickness" of having too much stuff. This week I'm going to introduce my o...

By now you've discovered that it takes more than putting your show up on iTunes and expecting subscribers to just come out of the woodwork and become raving fans.
