Gain Agency of your Life

When we talk about starting a business, there is often the question of why should you bother. There is so much work that is required to make a business work.

Often it is said to have more time and the most often reason is to make more money. But there is one big reason that I’m willing to work more for – and it’s Agency.

You can’t become the best leader of your family if you need to ask for somebody else’s permission to act.

If you need to take time off for your family – your boss can still say no. To fully be able to make the best decisions for your family. This is why gaining agency is so important.

This is the biggest driver of why men should start their business. It gives you the freedom and opportunity to take care of your family where you can be the best steward.

Little side note: Even if you don’t have full agency of your life – you are still required to be a good steward.

But if you have the opportunity – I believe that starting a business is the best way to become a good steward for your family and fully unlock all the possibilities to lead your family.

This becomes more important as time goes on. We see so much uncertainty in the world where it is not said how to be a godly leader and steward of your family.

Let’s take action today!

  • Facing the Moment of Decision

    We all go through our life with struggles and hope. Dreams and pains. We all make it through our days. Then all of a sudden, something happens. We need to make a decision. It feels like our D-Day. When my son was just 2 months old, I got fired. I understood their decision. I was not the right fit. So I went home. With all that pressure on my back, my son was all happy to see me. He slept so peacefully. I was up at 2 am. What am I going to do next? I was absent, caught in my own thoughts. I…

    Impact over Income I see it so often online – People are always looking to make money fast. The focus is to get rich.

    I wasn’t a great student in school.I did what had to be done.This was the minimum to be average. Yet when I really wanted something,I could go above and beyond to get it.I just went for it and figured it out. Sadly, in our school system,we get taught that the cool kids are not trying hard.Cool kids are lazy and care less. It flows into our culture today,where you get made fun of for trying hard. This makes me sad, because there are so many things we can do.There are so many opportunities. It…

  • Build the bridge, not just the offer

    You don’t sell a product, you’re not creating an offer or doing a service — you’re helping someone transform their lives. They have a problem or pain, and they wish to make a change. Anything we do is there to help them build a bridge. It is the Bridge of Transformation. So whenever we think of something to do or build, we should first understand the Transformation: Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Then we get a deeper understanding of the different options we can build. In…

  • You Always Have a Choice

    I just read a post from somebody complaining how bad his dream job is and how the system is responsible it’s so bad. This seems like it’s so acceptable today.Everything is responsible for you not thriving or getting where you want to go. The other day, I heard a young man say that he has issues with girls because of his mother. When we don’t have one person to blame, it’s so easy to just blame the system. In my humble opinion, those are weak excuses. You make everyone and everything around…
