Entrepreneur of faith, I have a dream...

I'm building something very special for you. Tell me if you can imagine this…

You know how Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream? He had a vision of something massive, and amazing - a world that didn’t really exist yet. Well, I have a dream, too. And, it up until now, it didn't really exist, but I'm building it for you. 

• I have a dream that entrepreneurs of faith, just like you, would have a safe place to talk about your business and your goals with other entrepreneurs who would understand (because let’s face it, your bestie and spouse mean well, and they love you and all, but they may not understand the call on your life)
• I have a dream that you would be able to uncover your gifts and walk boldly in your calling – no more shrinking, no more grappling with fear, no more “I can’t afford it”, no more living below God’s best for your life. You have a place where you can discover who God truly made you to be, and actually shine like the light of the world you are. 
• I have a dream that instead of spending thousands of dollars on numerous coaches, courses and products, you have one place where you can take monthly classes to learn and grow as a businesswoman – and you don’t have to do it alone because other entrepreneurs of faith will be right there with you. 
• I have a dream that you would serve those you are called to serve with meaningful, life-changing products and programs – that you would build a business that wakes you up in the morning and keeps you FIAed up all day long!
• I have a dream that you would have a community of believers who would help you to make those difficult decisions in your business – like which tasks you should outsource, or which email marketing software is best for your business, or what you should wear in your upcoming photoshoot. No more winging it. You would now have a place where you can get some solid advice from believers in business who want to help you.
• I have a dream that you would thrive in your business, and increase in your income, so much so that you would write a bigger tithe check to your church each week and be of great benefit to the kingdom of God at large.
• I have a dream that instead of lurking around in 100 different facebook groups, not really connecting or showing up, that you would use your voice, share your message, and put your candle on the candlestick, so all may see and experience your anointing.
• I have a dream that you would be a part of a network of thousands of faith-filled entrepreneurs worldwide – that you would all support one another, refer to one another, and together shine for the glory of God.
• Finally, entrepreneur of faith, I have a dream that you would be a part of a community that not only likes each others’ posts on social, but one that actually prays together and prays for one another, encourages one another, and speaks life over each others’ businesses. 

You see, what I see in my mind’s eye is “a city set on a hill that cannot be hidden”, just like Jesus mentions in Matt5:14, except I see it in the marketplace. You are a part of that city, FIAstarter. You are the light of the world. And, so am I, along with many other believers in business. 

I am building that City - a community where we can all come together and shine for the glory of God. We’ve been quiet, and invisible, and playing small for far too long. Our God is bigger and stronger and higher! It’s time to stand up, walk worthy of our calling, and do some amazing things in the marketplace through the power of God. It’s our time to shine!

What I imagine is thousands of members in this community, learning, growing, supporting and praying for each other (oh and drinking lots of coffee together, too – because gourmet coffee is a gift from the Lord). That may take some time to build, I know. But, I am building it for you, and it starts here. I am shifting a lot of my time and resources to back and build this movement. Why? Because, like I said, it’s our time to shine. Together we are the City of Light. 

So, here is my invitation to you, FIAstarter. Bring your light to the City. The more we light we have, the brighter we shine, amen? Are you in?
