Soar! : build your vision from the ground up

Soar! Build your vision from the ground up

T. D. Jakes

Book - 2017

Too often we remain in jobs that stifle our souls and leave us on the runway of opportunity with the engine of our deepest passion stalled, watching others make their personal vision a reality and build a legacy for their children -- the opposite of what God intends for us. But it's never too late to get your dreams off the ground! If you long to maximize your unique abilities and aptitudes, if you strive to combine personal fulfillment with professional satisfaction, if you dream of creating exceptional goods and offering transformative services and fulfilling God's destiny for you, then you are ready to SOAR! T.D. Jakes reveals how to build the uniquely personal vision within each of us into our special contribution to the world.... Blending the practical business acumen of a CEO with the dynamic inspiration of a life coach, SOAR! provides the tools needed to ignite our imaginations into action and challenges us to embrace our God-given purpose as we align our character and creativity with our careers.

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Megachurch pastor and serial entrepreneur Jakes (Instinct), known for his inspirational approach to Christian leadership, here tailors his practical advice for entrepreneurs. He uses examples from his life, his father's life, and moments in history to show how business owners succeed, fail, or fall into patterns of "I have to do t all" attitudes. The desire to overwork, he writes, can hinder creativity and eventually prevent businesses from soaring. Jakes blames this mindset for his father's death from kidney failure, making his appeal for change personal. Jakes's business advice focuses primarily on using new media to grow businesses, developing a distinct voice before entering the marketplace and using the business version of the Golden Rule (treat customers as you would treat yourself) to design one's website by improving on the sites of competitors. Although there are ways to make one's business more competitive, Jakes stresses that business owners have to rely on faith and put in the work. "You can't just play a role and dress the part," Jakes urges. "You have to earn that right!" The book is filled with many similar encouragements that will be useful to those looking to expand their own prospects. But faith elements are light and readers are assumed to be as devout as Jakes himself. Christian readers looking for financial and spiritual structure will find it here.
