About this Session
J.D. gave a list of grim statistics concerning entrepreneurs and what they are likely to experience more than others due to their work—they’re twice as likely to suffer from depression, and three times more likely to suffer from substance abuse. What do you believe are some of the reasons behind those statistics? In what ways have you dealt with any of the issues that J.D. mentioned?
Dealing with the risks of entrepreneurship can be hard sometimes. But since success isn’t guaranteed in this life, all we can do is take wise risks and try to live a balanced life. What could taking a healthy or wise risk look like for you? What does it look like to approach difficult entrepreneurial decisions knowing that success isn’t guaranteed?
J.D. talked about the reasons King Solomon wrote the book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon’s wealth of knowledge allowed him to see the world differently. After hearing about King Solomon’s perspective, how would you summarize his four principles?
The book of Ecclesiastes shows us that no matter who we are, we’re subject to the same ebb and flow of unfortunate events as everyone else. What are some ways that you can remain faithful to God in the midst of business troubles?
