In 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey shares ancient wisdom with the words "Sharpen the Saw". In Sharpen the Saw, Stephen Covery highlights the deep wisdom of slowing down so that you can go faster and farther in life. "Sharpen the Knife in Your Life" is Andrea's modern paraphrase for these words and also her rendition of that wisdom. Habit 7 Sharpen the Saw shows us that having knowledge is very different than having wisdom. Knowing what to do and how to do it AND actually doing it are two different things. Wisdom is applied knowledge. Andrea will encourage you to make time in your life to "work on your work" and to sharpen what you need to sharpen in order to work smarter not just harder. #sharpenthesaw #worksmarter #wisdom _____________________________ This Podcast is for you if: —you want to go from survival to “thrive” in your finances so that you can BE MORE, DO MORE, and GIVE MORE… —you have started your debt free journey and you want to learn about Christian stewardship, faith and finance, and Biblical principles about prosperity so that you can learn how to prosper with God… —you have found yourself at the intersection of God and business or faith, family and finances, and you are a faith driven entrepreneur who has been called into business and want to learn how to create a Christian business and build a successful Christian business… ABOUT ANDREA: As a serial entrepreneur, Andrea started her first business, a non-profit at the age of 22 and has since had over a dozen business ventures.
