Those channels promise success and prosperity, yet what happens when the promise is unfulfilled? Not because we didn't succeed, but in the midst of our success. When I found myself hitting this successful-yet-something-was-missing wall, I was left feeling like there must be something wrong with me. Was I not focused enough? Did I not want "it" badly enough? Was I not willing to work hard enough? Was I not cut out to be an entrepreneur? These lies are just what the enemy wants us to believe, as he seeks to distract us from God's purpose by planting seeds of discouragement, doubt, and discontent in our minds. When some major setbacks led me to seek answers, I encountered Jesus. And that changed everything I knew about business. This book is for you if any of these resonate with you: -You are a successful entrepreneur (even if you believe you were, but aren't now), who feels she's lost her joy for the business-You feel like you're chasing the money but losing fulfillment, and you wonder what to do next-You're formerly of the corporate world, now translating all that drive, discipline, competitive edge, and resilience into your own business in search of hope and freedom-You seek to keep your relationship with Christ in the forefront as you build a business in the midst of drivers and strivers all around you. I wrote this book to bring hope to women like you and me, who desire to make an impact for God's glory but aren't sure if it's possible (or even appropriate) to bridge faith and business. God gave us businesses to live out His purpose for us and to steward wisely. The only way to do this is with Him at the center, and that's how we Hustle with Heart.
