Generous Business Owner

Brandon West: Standing Out as a Light for Christ

Episode Summary

How can you care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of your team, their families, your clients, your vendor suppliers, and your local and global community? In this episode, Jeff and Brandon discuss: God’s bigger plan for generous business owners. The six domains of flourishing. The power of doubling down and not giving in to everything. Creating a focus card with your personal mission statement and revisiting it. Key Takeaways: Bring your team and their families with you on the mission-minded values of your business. If everyone understands the reason why they’re working, it can change lives. Everyone in your community can be brought in and invited to participate in having a greater impact through the work God is doing and the people you’re serving. Your only role is to be faithful, to trust God, to do what is right, and then lay all the results and the outcomes back in His hands. Love people better. That is the key to being a more philanthropic leader.
