Raising Entrepreneurs Workshop!
posted by
Two weekends ago the Stelzl family drove the long trip up from North Carolina to put on a workshop in Culpeper VA. A workshop specifically geared towards instructing families in raising entrepreneurs. The investment, the energy, the zeal, and the enthusiasm produced from the Stelzl family encouraged all who attended. Hearing from Mr. Stelzl’s wealth of experience and listening to the testimonies of his family helped put together a wonderful biblical perspective on how Christian families should view education, business and success.
In today’s American culture, entrepreneurship is slowly becoming a lost art. The modern education system doesn’t teach it. The corporate world purposes to have it extinguished. Even the federal and state governments often wield their regulatory power against it. Nevertheless, though it is attacked from many different fronts, Mr. Stelzl passionately proclaimed that entrepreneurship is still alive and well in the United States. The potential opportunities are just waiting to be harnessed. So often, the only factor missing is the entrepreneur!
A primary focus of the conference was the Christian family. Mr. Stelzl shared that Christ-centered families are so necessary. They are the ones willing to bank upon the providence of God and use the gifts God has given them to meet needs through business. The family also is a prime environment for, handling failures, practicing innovation, and building businesses on the unchanging principles of God’s word.
Exhorting – Encouraging – Brainstorming – Fellowshipping occurred all weekend!
Meal times!
I don’t believe one attendee went away from the conference with out hope and vision for what the future could hold. Ideas were bouncing around the room, which led to thought provoking questions, and ended with good solid answers. It was a glorious time to consider how God would have us handle that wonderful and necessary activity called working for profit.
