The Daily Entrepreneur

I think a lot of people get caught thinking that they need to start some super big, super impressive company so that you can’t make a difference and really have a redemptive impact. But I think knowing that you can make a difference in little ways is just as important. And there is nothing wrong with wanting and trying to create a large successful company, however, I think we get stuck thinking that is the only way it can be done, and I believe that we can make a difference in small ways even in the midst of the apparent large difference you are trying to make. Ultimately what redemptive entrepreneurship is all about is showing people the wonders and grace of Christ and his Kingdom through creative innovation. And that can be done in the simplest of ways. You can pay for a random person’s meal at a restaurant. You can offer to someone else’s groceries for them, or mow their lawn, or you can go pop-canning, run a small scale side business like show cleaning or anything else and give the profits to someone you know that is struggling. Professor has said before the his church has gone out to simply clean other businesses toilets or do free carwashes. Redemptive impact can come in any number of ways. So while we should always shoot for the stars, dream big, and go for that big venture we’ve always wanted to do, look for the ways that you can show innovative redemptive impact during every day. Something that I need to work on as much as anyone, but it is something that is super important and something I think we would all really benefit from.
