Gogo on Dependence and security

“The avenue of my blessings may change, but God remains my source”
-Gogo

This is a statement that God first laid on my heart years ago when I was in the telecom industry and had gotten a letter of employment that got rescinded within days due to a “hiring freeze”. I didn’t know it, but I was stepping into the first of many experiences that would crystallize my ideas on Christian entrepreneurship as a crucial component in the expression of a healthy, well-rounded Christian life.

Note I said nothing about whether your entrepreneurial endeavors succeed or fail (or make you rich)…
I’m just pointing out that they are worth engaging in; both for the gifts that they help you express from within, and for the blessings that they can potentially bring to others when you stir up your courage, boldness and creativity to start an enterprise.

A little while later, when I watched thousands of my colleagues at MCIWorldcom lose their jobs due to indiscretions at the top ($100 million dollar loan-to-self), I realized that every body who has ever been employed by someone else has to depend on their creativity, faith and sense of ethics.

The day any of those fail, hundreds maybe thousands of others lose their jobs…

What if you who claim to have faith, who claim to respect God and love people could be the business builders? Then you would know for certain that you would not steal $100 million dollars from the customers and investors who trust you and endanger the livelihoods of others.
