What if the thing you're trying so hard to fix in your business… isn't actually a business problem?

As business owners, we're wired to solve problems. When something stops working, we change the strategy. We hire someone new. We spend more money. We work longer hours. We try another system, another plan, another idea.

But what happens when none of it works?

In this episode of the Watchpost Partners Podcast, Joel talks about the seasons in business when the strategies that used to work suddenly don't—and why God may be using the pressure in your business to reveal something deeper in your heart.

Maybe the question isn't simply, “How do I fix my business?”

Maybe it's time to ask:

• What area of my business am I desperately trying to control right now?

• What am I afraid will happen if I stop trying to fix it?

• Am I exhausted because business is hard—or because I'm carrying something God never asked me to carry?

• Is there something that used to work in my business that I keep trying to force to work again?

• Have I actually asked God what He's doing in this season, or have I only asked Him to make the problem go away?

• What if God is using my business to change something in me?

• If God asked me to do business differently, would I be willing to obey—even if it didn't make sense yet?

Through personal stories, real conversations with tired business owners, Scripture, and the picture of Habakkuk standing at the watchpost waiting to hear from God, this episode is an invitation to stop assuming every business problem needs another business solution.

Your business may be producing something far greater than income.

God may be using it to shape the leader, steward, and person He is calling you to become.
