#729Proverbs 13 Leadership: Build the People First and Watch the Business Grow

How Discipline, Speaking Life, and the Rule of 10 Create Explosive Growth in Faith-Based Leadership and Team Culture

If you’ve ever wondered why your business isn’t growing, what if the real issue isn’t your systems—it’s your people? In this powerful episode, I share a heartfelt conversation I had with my Pops (he’s wise, honest—and yes, blunt)—and how he boiled our biggest business meltdown down to one simple truth: “Build the people and then allow the people to build the business.”

Drawing on the transformative lessons from Proverbs 13, we dive into:

• Why discipline over convenience is a non-negotiable.

• How speaking life early and often changes a culture (private > public).

• The power of the “Rule of 10” — serve one person incredibly well, then leverage the ripple.

• Why overcomplicating leadership is the growth killer; simplicity and clarity are the rocket fuel.

• Applying biblical wisdom to your team, your mission, and your leadership identity.

👉 If you’re a leader (entrepreneur, team-builder, culture-creator) who’s serious about moving from “just doing business” to “developing people who do business,” this episode is your call-to-action.

Let’s get into it: build the person, then build the profit.

✅ What you’ll walk away with:

1. A clear mission statement rooted in obedience, not just ambition.

2. Practical ways to speak life privately → publicly to ignite your team.

3. How to implement the Rule of 10 to scale without losing soul.

4. Why the call for discipline isn’t “tough love” — it’s kingdom love.

5. The real question: How do you build people? (Hint: It starts with you.)
