Listen to the latest 60 second episode of Integrity Moments with Rick Boxx
Integrity Moments is a 60 second workday devotional that provides business leaders with helpful insight into what the Bible says about our work and how we can fully integrate our faith into our vocational calling.

After leaving public accounting, I read an article about used car rentals. Thus began an adventure that led me to start my first business which taught me many valuable lessons, including why not to start a business. 

One morning, during below zero temperatures, it became clear to me that I had no passion for renting cars. There are many reasons for starting a new business, but one major key revolves around your motivation.  

Making a lot of money is not the right motivation.  

2 Peter 1:10 says, “Be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall.”  

Answering a call from God, or at least filling a need in the marketplace, are much better reasons for starting a business.
