You may not all believe this, but that doesn’t make it any less true: Your purpose, the person you were created to be, comes from God. If you’re going to accomplish anything truly great, it will be because God has empowered you to do it. As business leaders, it’s easy to get caught up in focusing on financial goals. After all, profits and growth are essential metrics. But what if we shifted our perspective? What if the driving force behind our business wasn’t just money, but the value we’re bringing—the purpose we were created for?
Your business isn’t just a way to generate income. It’s a solution. You are the answer to someone’s problem. Your purpose is to bring value, to solve the issues others face. That’s the heart of why you’re here.
The Power of Purpose: Lessons from Joseph
Let’s look at Joseph in the Bible. His life—every experience, every challenge—was intentionally designed to equip him for his purpose. His purpose was to save the world from famine. It wasn’t because Joseph was smarter or more talented than anyone else. It wasn’t because he had a higher IQ or more impressive credentials. It was because God was with him, and He had created Joseph for a specific time and mission.
Joseph’s story isn’t just about his rise to power. It’s about understanding that his purpose was to be the solution to a problem that impacted the entire world. God equipped him with the wisdom and strategy to provide food during a time of scarcity, a solution that saved lives and preserved nations. That’s the kind of impact you can have when you align your business with your God-given purpose.
Position Yourself to Hear from Your Source
If you want to be successful in business—truly successful—it’s time to focus less on your own strategies and more on positioning yourself to hear from God. Spend time seeking Him, understanding the solutions He wants to release through you, and getting clear on what He has purposed you to accomplish. This isn’t just about knowing your purpose; it’s about understanding how to operate in it. Your reason for being here is bigger than you.
I’m learning that the challenges I pray about—scaling my business, determining pricing, overcoming obstacles—are really surface-level concerns. The deeper question is: “God, who am I, and how do I carry out this great responsibility You’ve given me to be a solution to people’s problems?” Once you start asking those deeper questions, your business begins to take on new meaning.
The Game Changes When You Connect to Your Source
As I reflect on this more, I realize that nothing can stop me from fulfilling my purpose. No closed door, no obstacle, no setback can keep me from where God has destined me to be. It’s like arranging chess pieces on a board—strategy matters, but God is the one controlling the game. Once you recognize that, everything changes. Your life changes. Your business changes. Your family changes. The game changes.
I’m excited because I’m ready to be a game changer. I now understand that my connection with God is more important than the hustle and grind I think I need to “make things happen.” God has already equipped me with everything I need to fulfill my purpose. He’s resourced the vision He has for my life. The real question is: How do I access those resources? How do they manifest in my business? The answer lies in connecting to my source.
5 Practical Strategies to Become a Game Changer
Seek Divine Guidance Regularly: Make time each day to pray, meditate, or reflect on your purpose. The clearer you are on your spiritual direction, the more confident you can be in your decisions and the solutions you bring to the table.
Focus on Adding Value, Not Just Generating Revenue: Shift your mindset from “What can I gain?” to “How can I serve?” When you focus on solving real problems and delivering value, the financial rewards will naturally follow.
Embrace Continuous Learning and Growth: Game changers are always learning. Whether through mentorship, reading, or attending seminars, stay open to new insights and strategies that align with your purpose and vision.
Cultivate a Purpose-Driven Team: Surround yourself with people who share your values and vision. A team aligned with your purpose amplifies your impact and helps you achieve goals that are bigger than any one person can accomplish alone.
Remain Resilient in the Face of Challenges: Being a game changer doesn’t mean everything will be smooth. You’ll face setbacks, but trust that each obstacle is part of the process of refining your purpose and positioning you for greater impact.
Are You Ready to Be a Game Changer?
This is about more than making money. It’s about changing lives. I wonder how many others out there want to be game changers—leaders who impact the world beyond just financial gain. If that’s you, it’s time to align your purpose with your business strategy. Position yourself to hear from God, understand the solutions He’s equipped you to provide, and then go give it everything you’ve got.
The world needs game changers. It needs leaders who are driven by purpose, not just profits. If you’re ready to rise above the status quo, connect to your source and embrace the calling to be a solution to someone’s problem. Together, we can change the game—one purposeful step at a time.
