The journey to destiny is never paved with ease. It is a wilderness of becoming, a place where you are tested, pressed, broken, refined, and eventually revealed. Entrepreneurship, for me, has never been just about building a business; it has been about becoming the woman God designed before I was born.
It’s been lonely. Painful. Unpredictable.
But it’s also been powerful, sacred, and necessary.
Because entrepreneurship is a testament of faith.
Entrepreneurship is a testament of faith because it requires you to believe in something you can’t yet see:
the success of a vision still in seed form,
the fulfillment of a purpose still in process,
and the impact of your calling before it ever generates cash.
Are you invested?
You invest, create, and serve while walking through uncertainty, opposition, and silence, believing that what God placed in your heart will one day manifest.
Faith is not just praying for a door to open; it’s building one when none exists.
It’s launching with limited resources and trusting God to multiply the little into legacy.
Just like Hebrews 11:1 says,
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Cornered but called
I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to become an entrepreneur.
It was never about trends or money.
It was purpose chasing me down in the most uncomfortable moments of my life.
There were days I felt completely cornered by life:
Financial hardship that made me question everything.
Emotional weight that made me want to quit.
Rejection from people I thought would support me.
Being hidden in plain sight while others seemed to shine.
But being cornered taught me things comfort never could.
It showed me how to stand my ground and fight for my destiny.
“Even when I felt surrounded by pressure, I wasn’t defeated because my faith held me together.
In entrepreneurship, you don’t just talk faith—you live it.
Every email, offer, product, and pitch becomes a declaration:
“I believe in what God gave me.”
Does faith define me?
Entrepreneurship is often glamorized. People see the highlights, social media posts, published books, business launches, podcast episodes, and motivational reels. But what they don’t see is what it cost you. They don’t see the long nights you wrestled with doubt, the tears you cried after doors slammed shut, the moments you questioned your calling because provision didn’t match the promise.
What I’ve learned is this:
Entrepreneurship is a daily walk of faith. It’s trusting what God said, even when nothing around you supports it.
From pain to purpose
Entrepreneurship didn’t start on a mountaintop.
It started in the valleys:
I struggled with anger, mental health, and being misunderstood.
I felt overlooked, unqualified, and underprepared.
I wrestled with identity and where I was.
I worked jobs that drained me and made me question my value.
But God used it all.
He took the broken pieces and built a foundation of purpose.
What once made me bitter, He turned into books.
What once made me cry, He turned into coaching.
What once felt like silence, He turned into a stage.
The struggles no one see
There was a time I felt completely cornered, financially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I was pouring out wisdom, coaching others, publishing books, recording videos, and still, I often felt invisible, hidden in plain sight.
Opportunities passed me by.
People overlooked me.
Support was minimal.
I questioned everything:
Did I hear God clearly?
Is this really what I’m called to do?
Why is it working for everyone else but me?
Building in the dark
Faith is building when no one claps.
Faith is creating when no one sees.
Faith is staying obedient when you’re unsure who’s watching.
That’s what I did:
I wrote books when I had little marketing but big vision.
I coached clients through healing while still healing myself.
I created content when I had no team, no likes, and no spotlight.
I recorded podcast episodes and YouTube videos while wiping tears between takes.
Because I believed what God said, even when I didn’t see it yet.
I was cornered, but not crushed.
Because deep inside, something stronger than my circumstance was still alive, my faith.
Entrepreneurship taught me
Faith grows best in frustration.
Purpose is refined in pressure.
Calling is sharpened in the corners of life.
I didn’t realize it at first, but those “stuck” seasons were developing something in me that comfort never could. I learned to:
Rely on God for every next step.
Speak life when I wanted to give up.
Build when I had no blueprint.
Rise after every disappointment.
I may have felt surrounded, but I wasn’t defeated.
God was using the pressure to press purpose out of me.
There were many closed doors.
People said “no.”
Platforms ignored me.
Support didn’t always show up.
But I came to learn:
Closed doors protect purpose.
They redirect you to the divine path, not the popular one.
“I have set before you an open door which no one is able to shut.” – Revelation 3:8
Every closed door was God’s way of saying: “That’s not it—but I’ve got something better.”
Standing my ground to fight for my destiny
Achievements born from adversity
In the fire, I found gold.
In the fight, I found fruit.
I had to stand my ground in faith and fight for my vision—not with fists, but with focus.
Not by striving, but by surrendering.
Every closed door led me back to my knees.
Every rejection re-centered me on why I started.
Every disappointment was an invitation to deeper dependence on God.
It wasn’t the world’s approval I needed—it was God’s confirmation.
I stopped comparing and started creating.
I stopped chasing applause and started chasing alignment.
I learn that the scars are necessary for my growth so I always remember that I am great.
Victory over trials
My achievements – A reflection of god’s grace
Despite the valleys, I’ve seen victories:
I’ve written and published life-changing books.
I launched the Empowering You podcast to uplift broken hearts with truth and love.
I built my coaching program Angry to Heal—helping people transform pain into peace.
I created a journal planner called Write the Vision Make It Plain, equipping others to dream and document by faith.
I’ve spoken boldly on YouTube, encouraged souls through my blog, and poured into others when I myself needed filling.
None of this came easy.
But every win was a war I had to pray through.
Everything we go through isn’t all bad because it’s actually worth once you realize all the lives you’ll change by overcoming your trials and hardships in life.
These are not just achievements.
They are altars of remembrance—reminders that God was with me every step.
The critical points I learned as an entrepreneur
Here are five defining lessons that entrepreneurship taught me—each rooted in spiritual truth:
The odds can be against you and still not cancel what God has for you.
Like David facing Goliath, I stood against giants— lack of support, lack knowledge even helping hands—and still moved forward.
Romans 8:31 — “If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Closed doors don’t mean closed destiny.
Some doors closed to protect me. Others were preparing me. All were under God’s control.
Revelation 3:7 — “What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.”
Being hidden is not the same as being forgotten.
Like Joseph in prison or David in the field, I was hidden for a season—but not forsaken.
Isaiah 49:15-16 — “I will not forget you… I have engraved you on the palms of My hands.”
Your purpose must be walked out—even when it’s lonely.
I had to learn how to walk alone, trust God when the crowd disappeared, and obey even when it was unpopular.
Galatians 6:9 — “Let us not grow weary in well doing…”
Faith isn’t just believing—it’s building in the dark.
I had to build content, courses, and coaching even when I wasn’t sure who would show up. But I built anyway.
Hebrews 11:7 — “By faith Noah… built an ark to save his family.”
Early recognition: Why faith is a business strategy
Recognizing that entrepreneurship is a spiritual walk changed everything.
I stopped treating business like hustle—and started treating it like holy ground.
Faith became my strategy:
I prayed over my content.
I sowed when I didn’t see a return.
I served clients like I was serving the Lord.
I waited on God for alignment over applause.
Psalm 127:1 says,
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.”
So I chose to let Him build through me.
Be faithful with the little and God who sees all things shall reward you with much.
Walk in your purpose even when it’s uncomfortable
Walking in your purpose isn’t easy—but it’s worth it.
There will be tears, setbacks, isolation, and waiting seasons.
But there will also be breakthroughs, favor, divine connections, and a deeper understanding of who God created you to be.
Entrepreneurship isn’t just about income—it’s about impact.
It’s how you glorify God with your gifts and transform lives through your obedience.
Conclusion
I’ve been cornered, but not crushed.
Overlooked, but not forsaken.
Pressed, but not broken.
I am a struggling author rising into destiny—one act of faith at a time.
And the victory?
It belongs to God.
Final words
This journey is sacred
Entrepreneurship isn’t just a career. I didn’t have all the resources, but I had the Source.
It’s a covenant.
It’s the place where heaven touches earth through your hands.
It’s how God manifests His glory through your life.
I’m no longer bitter, tired, or angry from the 9-5 life.
I’m walking in peace, purpose, and power.
Being hidden trained me to hear God clearly and walk with integrity.
The pain gave me perspective. It made me hungry. It made me fight.
Because I chose to believe God when everything in my life said otherwise.
Walk in Your Purpose
You may be reading this wondering if your story matters.
If your work is in vain.
If your dreams will ever come to pass.
Let me tell you this:
God has not forgotten you.
The journey to destiny is never wasted.
The pain has a purpose.
And the process is part of the promise.
Keep building.
Keep believing.
Keep becoming.
Because entrepreneurship is not just your path—it’s your testament.
And your testimony will change lives.
