The Leap: When God's Vision Meets Human Courage
Manage episode 497028985 series 3408852
What drives true entrepreneurs to push beyond comfort zones and build something extraordinary? Rachel and Mark Squire reveal the raw, unfiltered truth about their journey creating a thriving community space despite overwhelming odds.
Starting with just $30 in their account and bills looming, the Squires walked away from stable employment to pursue a vision they couldn't fully explain. "I always felt like I was meant for more," Rachel confesses, describing how her husband challenged her to quit her Starbucks job and take the entrepreneurial leap. What followed was a masterclass in faith-based business building that defied conventional wisdom.
Their approach turned traditional business models upside down. Rather than maintaining tight control, they discovered unexpected growth through surrender. When money was stolen and partnerships failed, they developed a transformative philosophy: "Bless it and move on." This counterintuitive response to setbacks became their superpower, with Rachel noting that resources always returned "in multiples" when they refused to become bitter.
The Squires have created more than a business—they've built a platform where others can shine. "Come speak on our platform, get your experience, get your followers, get everything you need," Rachel explains, describing their venue as "a springboard" for emerging voices. Their community-first approach challenges the scarcity mindset plaguing many entrepreneurs.
Most powerfully, they offer wisdom on decision-making and perseverance. "You can do this the hard way or the harder way," Rachel warns about postponing difficult choices. Their journey illuminates why many entrepreneurs fail: either "they're walking a path that doesn't belong to them" or "they give up too easily when the going gets tough."
