I was recently told by a client that she views me as a Christian business leader. I highly respect her opinion because she is a coach of Christian leaders; therefore, she’s speaking from experience. For those of you who are Christian leaders, I would highly recommend her services, because she coaches according to the leading of Holy Spirit. Click here to learn more about Karen M. Pina.

After learning that I am a Christian business leader, I googled exactly what is a Christian business leader, as well as what are the responsibilities associated with this position.

Although we are entrepreneurs, we are to conduct business according to how Holy Spirit leads us. We are not blindly driven by ambition and greed, but are led by the Lord in our achievement of goals and performance of tasks. We develop a specific vision of how things could and should be for our employees, community, family, and clients, and labor tirelessly with the help of God to make it happen. We take calculated risks. Make your decisions after prayer and careful consideration. We are called to serve our clients by providing them with value-added service. We are to create a relationship with employees or a team of individuals who are committed to our vision of providing our clients with quality service.

Finally, we are not to allow our drive for financial success cloud our vision and our true calling as Christian business leaders.

My client, Karen Pina, just released a new book titled, “Is it the job, the boss, you . . . or are you an entrepreneur? Find your career stressors and the success God intends.” I am pleased to announce that Karen will be stopping by my blog on Wednesday, November 5 while on her virtual book tour. Mark your calendars and come by next Wednesday to learn more about Karen, her book, as well as why she wrote this particular book.
