179. Spiritual Intelligence in Business Part Four: Building Your Business With Eternity In Mind

In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I, Rachel Wortman, conclude our four-week series on spiritual intelligence for your business. Today, we dive deep into the concept of building a business with an eternal perspective. I emphasize the importance of living our lives as Christians with an understanding that some things we do will last for eternity, while others will not. I share three key strategies for integrating this eternal mindset into your business practices. First, I discuss the significance of making disciples through your work. It's not about turning every client into a prayer buddy, but rather about being aware of our ability to influence and transform people positively. I highlight the importance of prioritizing personal development and spiritual growth over mere profit. NEXT STEPS Let's connect! How can I help serve your business? Send me an email and let me know!
