One of the most rewarding aspects of being an entrepreneur is feeling an instant connection with other entrepreneurs.

Recently, I was chatting with a woman struggling with her business and we realized that she is not passionate about her business. Sometimes it can be hard to throw in the towel on your investments, so we both were going to pray about it and see if it’s what she should be doing.
