If I were to ask you about how you spend and steward your day, would you say that you’re making the most of every minute of it? Most of us would admit to not spending every minute of our day the way we should. I’ve often been guilty of spending many hours of my day in wrong mindsets and being wasteful with the time I have, and I know I’m not alone. Today I am bringing on my pastor, Tim Timberlake. Tim is the lead pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida, and is the author of the book title, The Power of 1440: Making the Most of Every Minute in a Day. In this episode, Tim explains how we can begin changing our perspective of the value of every minute and how we can live more in the present, which is something all entrepreneurs need to hear. Here is my profound conversation with Pastor Tim Timberlake!

When you have an idea for a business, product, or service, do you ask good questions for your potential customers? Most of us ask the wrong questions completely.
