Generous Business Owner

Chris Carneal: Never Miss a Moment to Celebrate

Episode Summary

How can you celebrate others more in a way that works for you and your community? In this episode, Jeff, Cale, and Chris discuss: The false dichotomy between sacred and secular. Nurturing and celebrating generosity. Why an entrepreneur’s greatest asset is their spouse. What generosity can look like in the storms and in the highs of business. Key Takeaways: We are all called to ministry in the roles we are already at in life. Getting your first client is the first emotional hurdle. Once you get past that, everything gets easier. Making and giving is not all that you can do in your vocational life. Virtues are more actionable, aspirational, and more timeless than values. They are almost, universally approved and celebrated.
