Summary
This week I want to encourage you to really think about what you are asking God to do in your life and business AND if you are open to letting Him do it. I love the Prayer of Jabez and have prayed it for many years. In the prayer, we ask for God to "enlarge our territory." However, as entrepreneurs who are used to getting to decide what we want to do and when we do it, we need to realize that God is still the boss of us. He gets to decide when and how to enlarge our territory, and He is the one who we should be following because He is our BOSS!!!
Take a few minutes to listen to this episode. I went of script on this one because I God put it on my heart and that usually means some of you really need to hear this!

| 0:49.0 | planned on but the Lord just dropped in my spirit, so here we go. I'm talking about the concept that we are actually |
| 0:56.3 | I am actually not the boss of me and that you are actually not the boss of you now listen I know that so many of us become entrepreneurs |
| 1:05.3 | because the idea of being our own boss |
| 1:08.1 | is like super-duper sexy, right? |
| 1:09.5 | And for all practical purposes, yes, we're the boss of our time and you know the boss of our projects and all that jazz. |
| 1:16.7 | However, I'm going to just encourage you this morning to look at bossing from a different perspective, okay? And to consider that even |
| 1:28.7 | though you are your own boss, you're self-employed, that there's still some lordship that needs to happen and some |
