The creative mind and spirit of the entrepreneur mirrors the creative energy of God in the world. Entrepreneurs often make old things new, see opportunities in desolate places, take risks and empower people. The Spirit of God, when unleashed in the life of the entrepreneur, has the potential to bring about much good ... which begs the question: What tethers the Spirit of God in the life of the entrepreneur?
