I'm in Dallas attending the Innovation3 Gathering .com. I'm staying with some buddies, the ROOV guys.

If you haven't met them, they are AWESOME, Kingdom minded, servant-heart, entrepreneur guys! (follow them on twitter: @chriscapehart, @mdavis, @ethanfisher)

They've started a few companies and, although they're youngish, they've learned a ton about how to entrepreneur things.

This is the first of several quotes they gave me about entrepreneurial ventures:

"If you'll do now what most people won't. You'll be able to do, for the rest of your life, what most people can't.

It's the biblical principle of delayed gratification. You sacrifice your desire now so you can reap future rewards. That may be: investing in your retirement, working out, eating healthy. In the case of Kingdom Entrepreneurs it means sacrificing time (every week, even every day) to start working on, praying about, researching, discussing your venture. Whether it's a church plant, a collaborative project, or launching a non-profit, to start your own thing, it's going to take sacrifice.

Consider the benefits of your dream. Figure-out what you can do now that most people won't, and start doing it!

(and if you need help, the ROOV guys would probably love to coach you through the start-up process)
