Gain Agency of your Life

When we talk about starting a business, there is often the question of why should you bother. There is so much work that is required to make a business work.

Often it is said to have more time and the most often reason is to make more money. But there is one big reason that I’m willing to work more for – and it’s Agency.

You can’t become the best leader of your family if you need to ask for somebody else’s permission to act.

If you need to take time off for your family – your boss can still say no. To fully be able to make the best decisions for your family. This is why gaining agency is so important.

This is the biggest driver of why men should start their business. It gives you the freedom and opportunity to take care of your family where you can be the best steward.

Little side note: Even if you don’t have full agency of your life – you are still required to be a good steward.

But if you have the opportunity – I believe that starting a business is the best way to become a good steward for your family and fully unlock all the possibilities to lead your family.

This becomes more important as time goes on. We see so much uncertainty in the world where it is not said how to be a godly leader and steward of your family.

Let’s take action today!
