Episode Notes

The following are personal lessons we took away from 2020.  We hope that they, in some way, resonate with you and affirm the values that you are working with to bolster your goal of having a redemptive influence in  your community.

1. We must not forget to take our daily activities and goals to God to sift on a weekly basis
2. Values, while they may serve you for a season, may need to be refined at different stages of your life to better lead you though where God is taking you.
3. Take care of your highest values and leave the rest to God to sort out.
4. Keep putting out value and understand that pretense isn't helpful in building a transparent offering to your community.  Be willing to be walk humbly through your path of entrepreneurship, especially when it gets ugly.
5. Investing is a lifestyle and takes years to refine and perfect.
6. Invest in relationships where you see Kingdom values being prioritized.  As such, it is even more important to partner with folks who share your Kingdom values.  This is where you will experience incredible synergy in having a redemptive influence.
7. Investing / commerce is better with a partner, especially one who shares your desire for change.
8. Invest in the lane where you have passion and a wealth of knowledge.
