From Concept to Scale: Creating A Gospel-Minded Organization

Armed with big ideas and filled with the hopes of making a considerable impact through businesses and nonprofits alike, each year millions of people step out into the great unknown of entrepreneurship. This self-starter spirit runs deep in our culture and the effort often leads to rewarding results. However, great ideas and hard work don't always equal success, and the strains of entrepreneurship can take a heavy toll on our lives.
