Any endeavour, business or otherwise, calls for faith.
And it’s an odd thing for me to be talking about because faith and I, well, we’ve not had the best relationship.
faith
1. strong or unshakeable belief in something, especially without proof or evidence
2. a specific system of religious beliefs
3. complete confidence or trust in a person, remedy, etc.
4. any set of firmly held principles or beliefs
Let’s start with the word unshakeable. I’m not sure I have unshakeable faith in anything. I blame the part of me that’s a longtime skeptic. It’s in my nature to question everything.
Then there’s definition #2. The impact of a confusing relationship with religion growing up lead me to decline anything remotely related to it ever since, including its jargon.
Moving on to #3. . .complete confidence or trust; whoa, kind of like unshakeable, this one awakens the skeptic!
Last but not least #4, with its firmly held set of principles or beliefs. Hmm, perhaps this one I can relate to.
So what’s got me riffing on faith anyway?
Today was the first day of Summer Camp, where we gathered ’round the virtual campfire and got right to the challenge of launching and growing a business. And not just any business. I’m talking world-changing business.
World. Changing. Business.
I don’t say those words lightly, especially in the online world of over promising and under delivering.
