How "HUMBITION" Drove Steph Curry to His Greatest Season... And Why You Need it in Your Community

10/11/2017

Steph Curr's Sneakers Before One of His Games
It's amazing how time can change perceptions. Just two years ago the basketball world was hailing Steph Curry as having arguably one of the greatest individual seasons of all time from a statistically perspective. He made over 400 3-pointers (the hardest shot to make) when no player had ever made more than 300! And his team won a record 73 games. However, at the end of the playoffs they lost the Championship to LeBron James, Kylie Irving and Cleveland Cavaliers. Since then he has seemed to fade away from the spotlight of those considered the best players in the league.

He won the MVP award after the 2015 and 2016 seasons, but he wasn't even in consideration for the award in 2017. And even though his team, the Golden State Warriors, won the championship this past season, most people gave the credit to new addition, Kevin Durant, one of the best players in the world.

Nevertheless, I believe 2017 was his greatest year ever. Was it because he had the best statistics of his career? No. It was Because he demonstrated a character trait that most high- performing athletes - and high-performing leaders in all walks of life - rarely exude. HUMBITION.

I define humbition as a combination of humility and ambition. It’s a blend of possessing a strong desire to succeed tempered by the ability to submit to a cause greater than individual success. For a person to demonstrate humbition they have to possess a strong character, because it's not an easy trait to utilize for very driven people.

When Durant signed with the Warriors, Curry stated he didn’t mind making room for the former MVP on the team if it meant winning another championship. He recognized that although they were already very good, they would be seemingly unbeatable with Durant’s unique skill set on board. And true to his word, Curry adjusted his game to allow Durant to fit in smoothly. And sure enough the team won its second championship in three years at the end of the 2017 season.

Curry embraced what many community leaders seem to forget, and that’s what’s most important is achieving the goal, not who gets the glory for it. You should be ambitious and have big goals for yourself and your organization. There would be no big impact without people who have big goals. However, you should never let the pursuit of your personal goals get in the way of engaging with others in your community who have the potential to multiply the positive impact on those who are underserved.

One key to making this happen is identifying the skills and strengths of all those inside and outside the community who want to contribute to its development, and then exploring ways to most effectively complement one another. Another important aspect of combining talents is having a shared vision and goals that all involved individuals and organizations can agree upon and are willing to contribute to.

Our communities certainly need people with big visions, audacious goals, and a strong hunger to succeed. But surely if a team of highly talented, big-ego basketball players can submit to one another like Steph Curry did to win a championship, highly talented leaders with big ideas can learn to work together in our communities for the good of our communities.

The Bible is Full of Young Bosses

A common theme throughout the Bible is that God often used young people to accomplish extraordinary things. A few examples include David, Samuel, Joseph, Solomon, and Esther. If God could use them as He did, why should we look at their potential any differently?

We need to stop looking at young people as problems in our communities and start looking at them as solutions. Teaching them about business and social enterprise is an excellent way to engage their minds, leverage their talents, and utilize their creativity to change their own communities.

Inc. My Dream Young Boss Camp for middle and high school students is happening July 13-24 in Atlanta, GA.

You Are a C.E.O.!

2/16/2015

In a recent blog I wrote, What it Really Means to be a Christian C.E.O., I defined the position of CEO from God's perspective. From His perspective, C.E.O. stands for "Christ's Executive Officer." The focus of that article was on those who start and/or lead companies. However, this definition of C.E.O. can be expanded beyond just business owners and would also include any Christian who has a leadership position directly responsible for other people.

Here is how this divine understanding of C.E.O. relates to any Christian in any type of leadership role:
  • Christ's - You are His possession and workmanship, operating under His authority.
  • Executive - You have been given delegated authority and influence over a group or groups of people.
  • Officer - You are in an official position with the capacity to exercise the authority that you've been given.

As you can see this description is not just for Christian business owners. This broader understand of a C.E.O. applies to you if you work for a company and have management responsibility over other people. God is giving you the opportunity and empowerment to impact lives through your leadership.

So the next time somebody asks you if you're a C.E.O., give them a resounding YES!

A Bridge from Poverty to Prosperity

8/8/2014

Entrepreneurship is often one of the overlooked areas in life where we have the opportunity and ability to express our divine DNA in a significant way. It not only empowers the person who exercises these creative gifts. The recipients of God-inspired, value-adding good works can receive the benefits of solutions that bring real, positive, lasting change to their lives. When this is happening on a local and global scale through entrepreneurial Christians, the world will really see our lights shine through our good works and glorify God in Heaven.

This is especially relevant as it relates to helping people get out of poverty. Often times those in our society who have been disenfranchised, disregarded, and discarded don't recognize the fact that they were made in the image of God and have innate abilities to change their situation. They must be reminded of the greatness that God has placed in them and be invited into environments where that greatness has the opportunity to mature.

This is our primary focus and commitment at Kinsman, Inc. We are committed to creating opportunities and environments that empower people to recognize their God-given purpose, gifts, and internal assets to become change agents in their families and communities. For many this could result in launching and growing a profitable, purpose-driven business. For others the outcome may be a higher valuation of their own self-worth, which gives them the confidence to pursue opportunities in the workplace they never before thought they could attain.


The book that I recently released, Inc. My Dream: A God Inspired Process to Turn Your BIG Idea Into a Dream Business, helps to support this vision. It was written with the intent to equip people to tap into the entrepreneurial mind of Christ and activate the divine characteristics of entrepreneurship that He put in them to solve problems and change lives through business ventures. It contains Biblical insights, practical instructions, and inspirational energy to help aspiring entrepreneurs build an actionable business strategy around their idea, so they can transform it from a concept into a profitable reality. 

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will go to support the $100,000 budget that we have established for our programs over the next 12 months, which include:

  1. Small Business Academy for Adults (Fundraising Target: $40,000)
  2. Young Boss Business Bootcamps (Fundraising Target: $20,000)
  3. S.E.E.D.S. for HOPE Business Development Fund which provides grants to those who successfully qualify through the Small Business Academy or Young Boss Bootcamps (Fundraising Target: $40,000)
We are asking that you purchase one or multiple copies of this book, whether for yourself or someone that you know who needs assistance crossing the bridge to becoming financially empowered. Also, this is a great resources for a church or ministry that is focused on entrepreneurship and small business development.

Click here to purchase your copy of Inc. My Dream on Amazon.com

The spirit of entrepreneurism reflects the divine nature of the Father. We are going to help restore this needed attribute in families and communities. Please join us in this venture.

Great Leaders in Business Are Great Followers

3/25/2014

I'm excited to announce that I am now doing some freelance writing for Gospel Today Magazine. My first article was published a few days ago, entitled Great Leaders in Business Are Great Followers. Here is a short excerpt:
For many entrepreneurs and small business owners, our current economic times present some extremely daunting challenges. From the complexities of differentiating yourself in a crowded marketplace, to the arduous task of raising capital, one would tend to think that entrepreneurship may not be the financial Promise Land of which so many often speak.

Of course today’s formidable circumstances are not the first time that people and businesses have had to rise out of the ashes of economic blight. Did you know that some of the most well-known and profitable companies in the world were launched during what appeared to be the most unlikely situations? According to a report a few years ago by the Kauffman Foundation, well over 50% of the current Fortune 500 was started in either an economic recession or depression.

10 Universal Laws that Shape the Entrepreneur's Experience

11/18/2013

Comments

 
Picture
The following post was written by my friend George Ansong, a Christian entrepreneur, real estate consultant, instructor, and coach. I was blessed by it and I'm sure you will be to...

I believe that entrepreneurship is a journey of faith. The entrepreneur is able to look into the future and bring into existence those things that he sees in his mind's eye. The faith it takes to bring that into existence is divine inspired. It is God breathed whether the entrepreneur believes in God or not.

I also believe that God's covenant of blessing is what motivates entrepreneurs to come up with revolutionary ideas, concepts, products, technological and medical breakthroughs that have catapulted mankind to the apogee of human civilization.

It is advisable, therefore, as an entrepreneur to understand the basic universal law that, God the creator of the universe, has put in place to help nurture, grow and expand our various enterprises and ventures.

Here are the Ten Universal Laws that I believe shape the entrepreneur's future and experiences.
  1. The Law of Use - We have been given unique talents and gifts. The more we practice and use the talents and gifts the more proficient we will become. The summary is what we don't use we lose. It does not matter what the gifts that we have. This is a universal law and we have to use it to our advantage.
  2. The Law of Reciprocity - This law I believe touches on the life of the entrepreneur in a profound way. The entrepreneur life is build around service to his customers. "Give and it will be given to you". Because he developed a superior product or has an excellent service, the customers will return the favor.
  3. The Law of Abundance - There is an unlimited supply of resources in the world. We are commanded to be fruitful and multiply. The application is that there is an abundance of riches and wealth and it is the responsibility of the entrepreneur to tap into the unlimited supply of resources. The law of abundance says we cannot limit our infinite God.
  4. The Law of Expectation - Let me reiterate again that I believe that entrepreneurship is a journey of faith. The entrepreneur is able to look into the future and bring into existence those things that he sees in his mind's eye. The faith it takes to bring that into existence is divine inspired. It is God breathed whether the entrepreneur believes in God or not. The law of expectation; believing that what you bring into the market place will succeed.
  5. The Law of Exponential Growth - Inherent in the growth of an enterprise is the fact that enterprise could double its income and expansion over a period of time. ..."and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the seashore..
  6. The Law of fidelity - What is fidelity? The quality or state of being faithful. "Whosoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much". As entrepreneurs when we start an enterprise, we should expect the venture to grow if we manage it well and take responsibility for the success of the enterprise.
  7. The Law of Momentum - An unseen force that we conjure up at the start of an enterprise or a venture. It is an essential tool kit of the entrepreneur. When you start a project, it seems like things are stagnant. Let us say you want to get leads -you have to make calls, set up twitter, face book accounts etc., by doing this you have set a process in motion. You have to continue these fundamentals to get going. And all of a sudden, the embers that you are stroking catches fire. You have to be able to harness the momentum as it propels the growth of the enterprise. "First you build the wave and then you ride it".
  8. The Law of Creation - As entrepreneurs we create enterprises, build businesses and come up with breakthrough medical and scientific technologies. It is a universal principle outlined by God, our creator, to create, explore, build, nurture. Imagine what the world would be like if there was no law of creation.
  9. The Law of Perseverance - Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force but through persistence.” To arrive at our destination we have to pursue our mission with everything within us. It is within us to be committed, patience and laborious. We are commanded "to keep asking, keep seeking and keep knocking".
  10. The Law of Change - Entrepreneurs should be in the forefront of change as the leading risk takers. The typical entrepreneur takes risk to make things happen hence there is always a whirlwind surrounding him. The ability to recognize that change ushers in freshness - the excitement to create the breakthrough technology and advance the frontiers of science is remarkable,. Concrete new businesses that did not exist before is now the footprint of the entrepreneur and he uses it to advance the well being of humanity.
