Unlock the Secret to Lasting Business Success: Lessons from Jacob’s Journey


Hey Reader,

Do you know how some days in business feel like you’re pushing a boulder uphill?

I’ve been there.

It reminds me of the story of Jacob in Genesis 30-32. Jacob worked for 14 years before he saw the results of his labor. There were no shortcuts, no quick wins—just faith, patience, and strategy.

This hits home for me because so much of my own journey reflects that kind of perseverance.

Story Time
When I started coaching, I had to choose between chasing short-term wins and building something lasting. Like Jacob, I opted for the long-term vision. It wasn't easy—there were days I questioned the process—but looking back, that decision shaped everything from building client relationships that last years to creating content that aligns with my values; the approach has paid off more than I ever imagined.

It’s not about overnight success—it’s about staying true to the principles of patience and integrity. Whether negotiating contracts, setting goals, or just pushing through tough seasons, this story shows that faithfulness always pays off.

After all, I was on track for another promotion and a solid finish to my military career. But for me, it was more than just about the next rank. It was about staying true to my values, even when the organization I loved shifted away from them. 💯 I recently shared this story with a close mentor, a fellow warrior, and a brother in Christ.

Have you ever been in a moment where your body is screaming to quit, your mind is telling you to give up, and everything seems to be working against you? I’ve been there—many times. And the truth is, it’s in that exact moment when resilience is built or broken. I’ll never forget one particular ultra-trail marathon. The kind where your legs start to feel like they’re made of lead, and every step feels heavier than the last. I was deep into the race, exhausted, and seriously questioning whether...

As Seed Gathering Season begins, it reminds me how essential it is to be intentional about where we gather the seeds we plant in our lives.
