Have you ever stopped to watch a bee at work? These tiny creatures play a massive role in sustaining life on Earth. They pollinate plants, ensuring that the world keeps bearing fruit. They don’t work alone, either—each bee in the hive knows its role and fulfills it faithfully, collaborating to serve the greater good. This reminds me of Deborah in the Bible. Her name means “bee,” and she lived up to it—diligent, purposeful, and unwavering in her calling. As a judge, prophetess, and leader, she guided Israel to victory and inspired a nation to rise. Here’s what bees and Deborah teach us about being effective leaders in business or ministry: ✨ Know Your Role. Like the bee and Deborah, operate confidently in the purpose God has given you. Your work may seem small now, but it contributes to a greater kingdom mission. ✨ Work in Community. Bees thrive because they work together, and so did Deborah. Leadership isn’t about doing it all yourself; it’s about inspiring others to step into their roles and collaborate for the greater good. ✨ Persist Through Challenges. Bees face countless threats, but they keep going. Deborah led through oppression, trusting God to bring victory. You can, too. ✨ Create a Legacy. The work you’re doing today can impact generations. Whether you’re building a business or leading a ministry, think about the legacy you’re leaving behind. ✨ Stay Connected to Your Source. Bees depend on flowers for nourishment, just as we depend on God. Stay grounded in prayer and scripture to stay fruitful. 🐝 The next time you see a bee, let it remind you that even small, consistent actions can create big, lasting impact. Your work matters, more than you realize. Which lesson resonates most with you? Let’s talk about it in the comments! 👇

I used to think that simplicity in business meant minimal or no tech, and that this led to ease and flow. Boy was I wrong. It led me to starting over my entire social media following on 3 platforms when I got hacked and lost access to the accounts I had been growing since 2007. I had no email list or CRM to reach out to my warm network and past clients so I could invite them to follow my new accounts. Because I was 'keeping it simple'. If I'd only known what I know now. I would have understood that investing my time and energy in implementing personalized, smart systems WHILE I established my business and built trust with my growing community, would have saved me from heartbreak and losing out on almost a year's worth of potential sales. Please learn from my mistake. Don't try to do everything manually, or base your entire business growth strategy on social media accounts that could literally disappear overnight.
