“The first and most important rule of sales: Never sell anything to anyone who wouldn’t benefit from it. Proverbs 11:26 does a great job of highlighting the value of selling. “The people curse him who holds back grain, but a blessing is on the head of him who sells it.”

“One of my favorite scriptures for connecting my professional, business life to my faithful life is Galatians 6:2 – “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” I don’t think it’s a far leap to say that this is a statement about how important it is to help each other solve problems. Rather than leaving people to solve their own problems, you can develop solutions to those problems that are offered through the form of your business. And, in turn, your clients can offer a solution to your problem by paying you for your solutions. These transactions, which we typically think of as just part of our ongoing economy, can just as easily be seen as acts of love.”

“Instead, you could approach your business from a perspective of love. You can see everything you do in the business as a way to glorify God and serve His Kingdom to the best of your abilities. Put another way, you can serve God by serving His people through your business.”

“When asked which of the commandments was the greatest, Jesus said to love God and love people. (Matthew 22:36-39) Business should be about serving. When we get into the details of my system for creating and running a business later in this book, we will talk about the importance of solving problems in business, and how every business exists to solve a problem in one form or another. With the focus on solving problems, it’s easy to see how you can frame running a business as an act of love. After all, what’s more loving than helping people solve their problems and live better lives?”

“Another key scripture that I like to refer to when discussing matters of business and how it intersects with our faithful lives is Deuteronomy 8:18. It reads “But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.” He gives us the ability to produce wealth.  How does He do this?  Through ideas and knowledge that we have to apply, which is wisdom.”

“He just said, “This is the best way you can help people with where I have you in life right now, yet you are and always will be my son. No more, no less.” Your assignment can change; your identity in God does not.”

“Your assignment may change. Your identity in God does not.”
― Billy Sticker, The Blessed Entrepreneur: 5 Steps to Launch & Scale a Business with Impact

“Identity” and “assignment” are two very different things. Your work is your “assignment” but it’s not who you are. Moreover, there are some assignments you aren’t meant to accept.”
