The market’s just tanked and your beloved start-up is a casualty.

You’re sat in the home office of a potential investor debriefing on the experience and its unfortunate ending.

What do you want him to say to you?

“Here’s a job!”

“Here’s some money to start again!”

The man I was speaking with said something more powerful than either of those things.

A week ago on Sunday I was asked to give a talk at the LDS ward that I attend. The following morning, I spontaneously awoke an hour earlier than usual and had several scriptural references and themes brought to mind. It was as though the talk was being given to me sequentially, line-by-line. I got up and wrote it all down on a piece of paper.

This blog includes a recording of that talk.

The core message is simple: We are all sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father who has unique work for each of us to do.
