Launch Your Business with God Zach Windahl pt 1
Have you ever felt that everything you touched did not turn to gold? But instead, just went from good to bad to worse? Everything. Everything you believed in. Everything you tried to do?
My guest today faced that very dilemma. In 2014, Zach Windahl went from bad to worse. He always had a plan, until that time. He was broken. He was lost. He started to contemplate everything he had believed in.
He had grown up as a Christian, but things were so bad, he realized he had no idea what that meant. He started to look at religion in a very different light. He stated to look at Christianity in America.
He realized that every single religion OUTSIDE of Christianity, took their faith seriously. But in the United States, Christians rarely read their Bibles and the ideals that are labeled as “Christian” can be very skewed from one faith to another.
This started Zach on a mission. He decided to read the Bible straight through. Not in in a year, but in 90 days. He wanted to seek the TRUTH. And he understood that God’s Word is the Truth. So, he set out seek THE TRUTH.
Long story short, he came to some magnificent revelations. The first one occurred in – Genesis Chapter one! Praise God!
Zach Windahl has helped thousands of people better understand the Bible and grow closer to God through his company, “The Brand Sunday.” He’s the author of several books, including “The Bible Study” and his recent book, “Launch with God – How to Build a Business That Matters and Live Out Your God-Given Purpose”
When you seen in the Bible that God “creates,” what did that mean for you?
Explain how you came to the understanding that God’s story continues even to today…
How does someone find themselves in God’s Story, as you share in your book?
How can we, as you put it, “lean into our talents?”
One of the things you’ve discovered older folks, myself included, wish they could’ve done more of is to have spent more time with their family, and, instead of working at a job for someone else, they wished they would’ve pursued their dreams. How did that impact you and what you are doing now?
Because of time, I want to jump towards the end of your book. Especially about “Building a Team.” Because of my leadership training the military, I have spoken at several business conferences on the topic of “Team Building.” So this section absolutely caught my attention…
You state, “In general, if you’re great at something in business, stick with it. If you’re good at it, do it until you can afford to pay someone else to do it. And if you’re bad at it, hire someone to do it now.”
I absolutely agree, but I also get asked, when I say this, “But I can’t afford to hire anybody, so I have to just try and get it done as best I can right now…”
What do you say about that type of comment?
How can someone just starting out find help?
One chapter in your book, “Launch with God,” you share about “Removing Obstacles.” What do you see as the biggest obstacle that faces most of us down?
I had to laugh, again, when I read the part about running a business, being an entrepreneur, is not a sprint – it’s not even a marathon! You called it an “ultra-marathon!” Can you explain that for our listeners?
Who is Justin Zoradi and how did he influence you?
When we seek advice about or dream, about our business, whom should we seek advice from and who should be avoid?
Zach, we are about out of time. Where can someone get a copy of your book, “Launch with God”? Is it on Amazon?
If someone wants to get in touch with you, to ask a question or maybe do an interview like this, how can they do that? How can they get in touch with you?
Folks, I cannot recommend this book, “Launch with God,” by Zach Windahl more...
