Gain Agency of your Life

When we talk about starting a business, there is often the question of why should you bother. There is so much work that is required to make a business work.

Often it is said to have more time and the most often reason is to make more money. But there is one big reason that I’m willing to work more for – and it’s Agency.

You can’t become the best leader of your family if you need to ask for somebody else’s permission to act.

If you need to take time off for your family – your boss can still say no. To fully be able to make the best decisions for your family. This is why gaining agency is so important.

This is the biggest driver of why men should start their business. It gives you the freedom and opportunity to take care of your family where you can be the best steward.

Little side note: Even if you don’t have full agency of your life – you are still required to be a good steward.

But if you have the opportunity – I believe that starting a business is the best way to become a good steward for your family and fully unlock all the possibilities to lead your family.

This becomes more important as time goes on. We see so much uncertainty in the world where it is not said how to be a godly leader and steward of your family.

Let’s take action today!

  • Who Not Why

    Simon Sinek became known for the idea: “Start with why.” All of a sudden, we were talking about purpose. The question of why started for many the search of reason and purpose. Our why was the starting point for our mission. I love talking about why and your life’s purpose. However, I find that why is not the best place to start. When Frodo took the ring, he acted — not because of purpose, but because of position. He was already in possession of the ring, and he had to do something to help his…

  • Strive for Excellence not Perfection

    Strive for Excellence not Perfection How often do we freeze up and can’t go forward, because something we have created isn’t good enough – isn’t perfect? Way too often. I have spent so many hours trying to perfect something. Our goal is often completion, or perfection. Reaching the 100%. It seems like it is always escaping us. I want to challenge the idea of perfection. We should strive for excellence. Doing something not for 100% perfection, but rather to a 90% excellence. Perfection keeps…

  • Should you be authentic?

    Hey Reader, No matter where I look right now, people tell me to be more authentic. Is that really helpful though? I don’t think so. Let me explain why. Being authentic could mean that you’re relatable and personal. It is to be honest. This is what I would understand as being authentic. There is also a different meaning to it. Not many people would describe it as such, but you can observe the behaviors. In reality, a person says “I’m authentic” when they give their unfiltered opinion. Being…
