EPISODE DESCRIPTION

The fog is lifting. Your defenses are in place. Clarity is returning. But here's what most Kingdom entrepreneurs miss: clarity without the right lens is just speed in the wrong direction.

In Day 9, Jeff reveals that you've likely been measuring success through a broken lens—the world's standard of growth, revenue, and influence. Today you correct that lens and learn to measure success through God's standard: obedience, alignment, impact, health, and calling. Discover how reframing success changes every decision you make moving forward.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

How are you currently measuring success in your business? Write down the metrics. Revenue? Growth? Clients served? Influence? Health? Family? Alignment? Be honest about what you're actually tracking.

Whose lens are you looking through? The world's definition of success, or God's? Where do they differ for you personally?

If you rewrote what success actually means to you—not what it "should" mean, but what it genuinely means to you—what would change? What opportunities would you say no to? What would you prioritize differently?

What is one decision you're facing right now that needs to be made through the right lens? How would your answer change if you measured it by calling instead of market position?
