Title: Finding Divine Guidance in Business: A Mother's Journey to Thriving Success In this enlightening episode, LB delves deep into the transformative journey of a remarkable entrepreneur and devoted mother.  Our guest, Stefanie Gass, candidly shares her story of entrepreneurship, one marked by a significant shift in approach and perspective. She reflects on her initial seven years in business, where she admits to navigating the challenges and victories without consulting God or seeking His guidance. Despite achieving apparent success, including substantial financial rewards and industry accolades, she felt a profound emptiness within. However, everything changed when she made a pivotal decision to align her business endeavors with her calling and trust in God's sustainable goodness. In the subsequent seven years, she dedicated herself to prayer and seeking divine wisdom at every step of her entrepreneurial journey. The results were nothing short of miraculous, as her business flourished into a seven-figure enterprise. But perhaps the most inspiring aspect of her story is how she managed to achieve this extraordinary success while remaining fully present as a mother to her two sons. Through her unwavering faith and intentional focus on building a business rooted in God's guidance, she found the balance and fulfillment she had been longing for. Key Takeaways: Embracing divine guidance can transform your business from empty success to sustainable prosperity. Prayer and faith are powerful tools in navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship. Building a thriving business and being a present parent are not mutually exclusive; it's possible to achieve both with intentionality and faith. JUST FOR YOU: Are you ready to infuse your business endeavors with divine guidance and experience true fulfillment?
