There are only 24 hours in a day. Not 25. Not 30. Not “when things slow down.” Every “yes” costs something. Want to launch a new offer? Something else will get less attention. Want to grow revenue? Something will require more energy. Want more time with your family? Something in your schedule has to go. The problem isn’t adding. The problem is what most entrepreneurs stop doing. Too many stop:• Date nights • Family dinners • Rest • Exercise • Church • Margin • Thinking time They stop the very things that keep them grounded. Then they wonder why success feels heavy. Why burnout creeps in. Why home feels tense. Growth isn’t just about what you start, it’s about what you protect. Before you add something new to your plate, ask yourself: “What am I about to subtract?” Be careful what you stop doing, Because sometimes the “small” things are the foundation holding everything up. What’s one thing in your life that must stay non-negotiable, no matter how busy business gets?

One of the hardest parts of leadership isn’t planning, it’s trusting God when the plan changes. We tend to assume that delays, interruptions, or detours mean something went wrong. But God isn’t surprised. Often, disruption is doing important work in us by: revealing what we really trust, loosening our grip on control, and re-ordering our priorities. What feels like a setback may actually be formation. How do you usually respond when things don’t go as planned?

Someone asked me: “Is there a trick to paying off my car loan faster?” Here’s the truth: There is no trick. No shortcut. Debt is just math. Borrow longer → pay more. Pay faster → pay less. Minimum payments? You pay more. Late payments? Even more. Extra payments? Less. That’s it. Example:30-year mortgage. Make one extra payment per year. You don’t just cut a year—you could erase 15 years of payments later. Pay every two weeks instead of once a month? You make 13 payments instead of 12. Do that for 15 years → about 180 fewer payments. No hacks. No loopholes. Just math. Most people aren’t looking for better math. They want relief—without saying no or slowing down. But trying to “beat the system” usually keeps you stuck. Freedom comes from clarity and discipline. Pay off faster. Live with margin. Reduce stress. Simple isn’t always easy. But honest math is freeing. Are you hoping for a shortcut instead of a real change?
