Pride is a sin that can subtly creep into our lives, especially in the competitive world of entrepreneurship. As Christian women entrepreneurs, it's crucial to recognize and combat pride to lead with humility and grace. The Bible offers profound wisdom on overcoming pride and embracing a life of humility and service.
Understanding the Sin of Pride
Proverbs 16:18 warns, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." This verse highlights that pride often leads to downfall and destruction, affecting not just our personal lives but also our professional endeavors.
Applying Biblical Principles to Overcome Pride
Practice Humility: Philippians 2:3-4 teaches, "Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests but also to the interests of others." Embracing humility involves valuing others and prioritizing their needs and interests.
Seek God’s Guidance: James 4:6 reminds us, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." Seeking God’s guidance and grace can help us maintain humility and avoid the pitfalls of pride.
Serve Others: Mark 10:45 states, "For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Serving others and focusing on their needs can help us keep pride in check and foster a spirit of humility.
Practical Tips for Combating Pride
Acknowledge Your Dependence on God: Regularly remind yourself that all achievements and success come from God’s grace and guidance.
Celebrate Others’ Successes: Instead of focusing solely on your achievements, celebrate the successes of others and offer genuine praise.
Seek Feedback and Learn: Be open to constructive criticism and view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a threat to your pride.
By applying these biblical principles and practical steps, we can overcome the sin of pride and cultivate a spirit of humility, enhancing our effectiveness and relationships as Christian women entrepreneurs.

Oct 24-27, 2024 - Phoenix Arizona. One house in the mountains. 21 women all planning out their business and receiving supernatural growth and deliverance on their life and business. 2 Biblical experts are coming and 2 Business experts to coach and teach. Don't miss this.
In this free guide, we show how we move our clients from $0 to $1M in our signature 5S Method guide. It is delivered over 5 emails in 5 days, outlining one "S" each day. This method is used on every client and several have reached the 7 figure revenues with it (some have plans to scale past this mark). We strive to help each client reach seven figures (if they desire that). Not everyone wants a business that large and not everyone even has a product that can scale to that. But everyone can use the method to grow their business with Biblical principles and help.
Our community consists of women of all different types of businesses at all stages. Our common bond is a desire to grow in our faith and in our business. These often overlap. If your faith is struggling, your confidence can too. If your business is struggling, your faith can become shaky.
We help with both.
