The next KBU Christian Entrepreneur Boot Camp begins Monday, August 13th in Villa Rica, GA and online. Just like these satisfied customers, you can get the Biblical foundation, strategic coaching, and fresh perspectives you need to take your business and life to a greater level. It requires steps of faith for you to get closer to your harvest. If you are an established business owner or you just have an idea of what you want to do (and everything in between), this course will help you to grow deeper in your relationship with God as you clarify your purpose and calling for your business. God has infinitely more for you than you have already experienced, and we want to help you get there.
Your facilitators for this course - Paul Wilson, Jr. and Dr. Amos Johnson Jr. - are two respected men of God who are experienced entrepreneurs and experienced at rightly dividing the Word of Truth as it relates to business. We are passionate about equipping the Church with the entrepreneurial mind of Christ. In this boot camp you will learn powerful principles and practical tools that will help you build a profitable business that honors God and makes an exponential impact in your family, community, and ultimately the world. Each week we explore and engage the word of God to extract best practices that will grow you spiritually, professionally, and financially. This will be a transformational experience for your business and life. If you don't believe me, just watch the video again. We expect to see you there!

Recently we launched a Christian Entrepreneur Boot Camp with some incredible leaders and entrepreneurs. The long-term potential of this program is even greater than I realized when God first gave us the idea to do it. My eyes are really being opened to what God wants to do through Kingdom Business U. For a long time I have been searching for a business model that had a large capacity and expansion potential to reach entrepreneurs around the world with Biblical and practical strategies to fulfill their purpose and grow their businesses. What's really exciting to me is that we are in the process of pulling together a very anointed and talented group of individuals to fulfill this vision. Now everything is not just dependent upon my own ideas, talents, capacity, etc. Our team is in position to demonstrate the body of Christ in action in the marketplace. That's how it's supposed to be. Here are a few of my thoughts in terms of how this relates to the exponential power of cooperation... Two (or more) minds are often better than just one. Achieving your dreams for you is uplifting, encouraging, and inspirational. However, partnering with others to achieve something unthinkable becomes legendary. As great as your ideas may be, they have the potential to be even much more robust and effective when you are able to combine them with other’s ideas. That’s innovation that makes a difference! There are enough businesses out there for you to compete with each other. You need to find some entrepreneurs with whom you can complete each other. I call that "coopetition." I love this quote by Napoleon Hill: "When TWO or MORE people coordinate in a spirit of HARMONY and work toward a definite OBJECTIVE or PURPOSE, they place themselves in position, through the alliance, to absorb POWER directly from the Great Storehouse of INFINITE INTELLIGENCE." Of course God is the "Great Storehouse of Infinite Intelligence," for in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3). And whether you call it a mastermind group, board of directors, dream team, or something else, there is great power in joining with other great thinkers in the pursuit of something far greater than what you could conquer on your own. "Lone Rangers" will eventually be strangers to success. If you desire to maximize the potential of your time, talents, money, and ideas, find some people with whom you can cooperatively pursue significant opportunities. Exponential results are awaiting your business! * * * * * * * * * * Derrion Albert. Martel Barlett. Luis Garcia. Cynthia Cole. Adolfo Guijardo-Soria. Salvador Sanchez. Aniya Crockett. These are just a few of the 74 young people who were murdered in Chicago in the 11 months between September 2009 and August 2010 (more than 78% by gunshot). [Source: www.truestaris.com] Also in Chicago, more than 530 people under the age of 21 have been killed since 2008 and many more have been shot or have otherwise suffered violence—often at the hands of their peers and particularly in the city’s African-American and Latino communities. Nearly 80 percent of youth homicides occurred in 22 black or Latino communities on the city’s South, Southwest and West sides—even though just one-third of the city’s population resided in those communities. [Source: The Chicago Reporter]. I wonder is God any more angry, hurt, or vengeful when violence against one of His children happens at the hands of someone who looks like them versus someone who doesn't. I wonder is He any more outraged when someone from the same culture or ethnicity murders an innocent teen versus someone from a different culture or ethnicity. It's interesting the things we as Christians have selective outrage about. I know a lot of local outrage was expressed in several cities where it seems like violence has gotten out of control over the past few years. But the national outrage was nowhere close to what it has been for Trayvon. I'm not saying it shouldn't be there for him, but what about all the other victims who preceded him. This may not be a popular stance I'm about to present, but the tragic death of Trayvon Martin and the hundreds of other senseless deaths of our youth (and adults) highlight a much deeper and widespread problem than racism or poverty or injustice. It really highlights the sin culture in this country as our core problem. Everything else are just symptoms of this central root. Our society drinks the blood of excessive violence, sex, and debauchery everyday through personal indulgences, movies, music, TV, and video games, but then we are surprised / shocked / outraged when we see reality perpetuating entertainment perpetuating reality. This sick cycle won't stop until we stop it! The root of racism is hatred, which is birthed from sin. Therefore, racism is really a sin thing, much more than it is a skin thing (satan will use any scheme to divide us: racism, sexism, classism, ageism, etc. Don't get tricked into participating with his schemes). It would then lead to the truth that Christians need to be focused on grace-based solutions, not just race-based solutions. Simply changing laws, rules, and regulations will only produce short-term, peripheral change. Laws may provide a deterrent before and punishment after the fact, but they can't prevent murder. The only thing that can prevent murder is the love of God, i.e. people who understand how much God loves them, which then compels them to love everyone else no matter what they look like. (oh, and every murder is a "hate crime" if we're using God's laws to judge the action versus just our own, but I digress...)
It's interesting that the Civil Rights movement was led by men and women of God who were looking to transform the soul of America, not just laws and bathroom signs. They understood the spiritual foundation had to precede social action, otherwise social action lacks sustainable change and lasting effectiveness. Jesus came to bring complete heart transformation, not just behavior modification or racial understanding (Galatians 3:26-28). The Bible clearly spells out for Christians how we can collectively transform the culture into one that is healthy and viable versus broken and hurting. 2 Chronicles 7:14 is speaking to Kingdom citizens, not unbelievers: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." You might read that Scripture and be thinking that we can't spend all our time praying without going and doing something against oppression or injustice. Well, the beautiful thing about seeking God's face through prayer is that He reveals His will and provides answers to our problems. He will tell us what we need to do to strategically and systematically change the systems of oppression and injustice. Without His input man-made ideas and solutions will have minimal impact. Many people are angry at Mr. Zimmerman and want justice served against him. He will have his day in court (before a judge or public opinion). However, God's judgment starts with the family of God (1 Peter 4:17). And part of His judgment against the church for the condition of this country and the world will be how much we prayed versus how much we protested (or did other things to distract us from the most important things). If you protest more than you pray, your efforts will be limited in the grand scheme of things. It's OK to protest, but you better pray in advance, during, and after, so that when the protests are over, people slip back into normalcy, and the media has all gone home (until the next news making event), you will have some divine answers that will transform hearts and minds, not just man-made solutions that have little long-term effect. I pray for Trayvon's family that God will bring healing, peace, and restoration. I pray for all the family's across this country that have needlessly and senselessly lost a young person. And I pray for God's church to wake up the responsibility we have to this country and the world to seek His face for His answers and stop making up our own as we go along. Many Christians engage in business every day and don't realize the incredible opportunity they have to be a bright righteous light in the midst moral and ethical darkness. Others haven't accepted the Kingdom assignment God has given them in the marketplace, because they are too focused on just chasing dollars. Your success as a Christian entrepreneur will not be defined by your revenues. It will be defined by whether or not you complete the assignment God has given you.
I am passionate about equipping Christian entrepreneurs with a Kingdom perspective so they can thrive in the marketplace spiritually, professionally, and financially. When you understand where and why God has positioned you in the marketplace, you will be inspired and focused on seeking to accomplish your Kingdom assignment in business, knowing that God will provide everything that you need (Matthew 6:33).

Get the resources you need to elevate your business to a divine level! I am so excited to launch my new web site and blog. I am taking my business and my brand back to where I started a few years ago after I wrote my book Dream B.I.G. in 3D. Just like Michael J. Fox in the 80s classic movie Back to the Future, I am sort of going backwards to move forward. At the time I was really focusing on helping people discover their purpose through the dream God placed in their heart. Since then I had broadened my message and services to include other things, but I realize that I need to go back to what I know God originally gave me to do. And that is as I am helping people discover their purpose, I am supposed to also help them develop an entrepreneurial mindset for Christ (I talk about this more in-depth in the video). As such, you will begin to see more of my multi-media offerings, products, and services geared toward these two areas.
You will notice there are blog posts dated prior to this one. I decided to manually incorporate some of my recent posts from my other blog, Passion in Action. I may eventually bring more posts over in the future, but for now I wanted to provide some recent relevant content for this new site. If you have any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions for making this site more helpful to you, please don't hesitate to contact me. I look forward to engaging with you to help you develop an entrepreneurial mind for Christ. |
