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.

The first tip I have for startup businesses is to “Recognize when you’ve become a business.” My youngest daughter didn’t intend to start a business when she began posting social media videos.

As millions viewed her videos, suddenly money was deposited into her account for becoming a “social media influencer.” It was time for her to recognize that she had launched a business.

Many people start driving for Uber or DoorDash not realizing that they just started a business.

In Luke 6:44, Jesus said, “Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers.”

When you start earning money that is not employee wages, it’s likely you have started a business and need to recognize and treat your endeavor as such.
