You're Smarter Than You Think! There are Multiple Intelligences! In this episode of The Thriving on Purpose Podcast, we will look through the list of what the 9 Types of Intelligences are and what they entail. This will enable you, dear listener, to recognize your own... and even those of the people you might have thought were not the sharpest tool in the shed.   Howard Gardner revolutionized the field of Quantitative Intelligence (I.Q.) when his theory (and book) was released in 1983.   According to Gardner, “While we may continue to use the words smart and stupid, and while IQ tests may persist for certain purposes, the monopoly of those who believe in a single general intelligence has come to an end. Brain scientists and geneticists are documenting the incredible differentiation of human capacities, computer programmers are creating systems that are intelligent in different ways, and educators are freshly acknowledging that their students have distinctive strengths and weaknesses.”

The 4 Key Questions that Will Unlock Your Destiny  This week’s Thriving on Purpose Podcast Episode is going to be about this most important question: How to Find Your Purpose.   Of course, with a name like Thriving on Purpose, this was not only inevitable but also necessary for us to address.   Many, many entrepreneurs, even many of whom are very successful often ask this very question…   How do I find my purpose?Sometimes, it shocks us. Why? Because the question may come from those who seem to have it all together.

Why Riches Are No Vice and Poverty Is No Virtue Is it wrong for a Christian to be prosperous?  Money is a huge subject matter in the life of the believer. There are 2500 Scriptures on how to handle money and possessions in the bible. Yes, that many!   However, many believers have the wrong perception, mindset, and approach when it comes to money.

Getting Over It Simply Because You Must Have your friends and family showed interest in your Entrepreneurial vision yet?   If not, rest assured, you're not alone.   In fact, if you're like us, you might have had more success with perfect strangers than with family members when it comes to your business.

Thinking like a BIG business will keep you in business... It has been our observation that many small business owners have a major problem. However, their major problem is not what you might think.

God Didn't Create You to Be a 'Nice Christian Guy'...   Have you ever heard this popular definition of Church: "Church is a nice place where nice people gather every week to hear a nice sermon by a nice man teaching them how to be nicer to one another."   Although you might be chuckling right now, this belief about Christianity is no laughing matter - especially for men.   In fact, it's this way of doing Church that has caused many Christian Men to believe that God requires them to be nice guys.   Nothing could be further from the Truth!   In this week's episode, we will tackle a subject tailored for today's Christian men, that ladies will enjoy as well. We will look at the differences between nice guys and good men; and as we will see...   God doesn't want us men to be nice, HE wants us to be good - and there is a world of difference.     God is looking for "A Few Good Men." Are you one of them?   In This Episode You Will:   Learn

Why God's Demotions are Better Than Man's Promotions  It’s one thing to be demoted at your job… by your boss or superiors, but it’s quite another to be brought down and demoted by God. It can be quite disheartening.   As we will see today, through a study in the life of Joseph, God’s demotions serve a higher purpose for us.   His demotions are His way of pulling us back on a sling to launch us in the right direction.  As believers, we are not always called to go up, sometimes God brings us down by demoting us… on purpose.       In This Episode You Will:   Learn entrepreneurial and life lessons from the life of Joseph Learn the reasons why God may demote you Learn what to DO when God demotes you Understand why His demotions are so much better than any of  man’s promotions     Memorable Quotes:  “His demotions are his way of pulling us back on a sling to launch us in the right direction.”   “Joseph was from a wealthy family, excessively hands

How personal growth complements your faith  If you've been in Church for a while or your whole life, you were probably exhorted to grow in your relationship with God through Bible reading, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. While this is an excellent way to grow your faith and establish a good relationship with God, it can lead to some disillusionment and frustration for the Christian Entrepreneur.   We are spiritual beings, housed in a flesh body, made in the image of God, who have work to accomplish here on earth. That said, we need to understand that to accomplish the best work possible, we need to become all that we can be. And for that, we need more than just spiritual growth - we need personal growth. As Christian Entrepreneurs, we need to come to terms with this fact - or fail, and blame God in the process.   Download the provided show resource to get The 12 Reasons Why Christians Need Spiritual Growth     In This Episode You Will:  Learn the three biggest e

Which Qualities Set Leaders Apart from the Herd?  Leadership is a strange animal. Although leadership experts can agree on what makes for good leadership in the larger sense, the number of characteristics deemed as necessary for it can vary greatly.   So, depending on how general or detailed you choose to analyze leadership, the numbers will vary. That’s because leadership defies a permanent and static definition – it cannot be boxed. It’s always recognized by people when they witness it, but the varying styles of influences which makes it up can make it hard to pin down. It’s a bit like trying to predict the weather. There are ways to do it, but it sure isn’t an exact science. Leadership is, in a way, quite intangible.   Nevertheless, there are some characteristics that cannot be overlooked and that defy time, cultures, trends, and situations. So, in this episode of The Thriving on Purpose Podcast, we discuss:     People Skills Smarts Vision Character Adaptability Focus “IT” Factor &
