“[The Entrepreneurial Bootcamp] far exceeded my expectations, serving as a tremendous encouragement to me, and I’m sure many others. I have been running real estate/internet related businesses started by my Dad and I for the last several years, and been reformed in my Christian faith for nearly as long. The difficulties that come with running these businesses has often left me wondering if I was crazy to continue in this capacity rather than choosing an “easier”, more “secure” route... The articulation of the theology of entrepreneurialism, and the vision of multi-generational planning, provided for the first time an intellectual understanding of why I’ve never felt right about leaving the businesses. I can truly say that after this weekend, I have firmly caught the multi-generational, dominion-mandate vision. I am 23 years-old and can already see the largely unintentional results of that in my own life, with my parents’ initial attraction to business years ago resulting in my lifelong education in business.
“The lineup of guests you had at the conference was tremendous, and I thought very well balanced the philosophical/theological aspect with the practical aspects of business. After 15 years of business/entrepreneurial involvement, I’ve spent the last few considering and gathering notes for an entrepreneurial class for young people interested in going that route. With that perspective, I was rather curious to see if everything I would tell someone about business would be said. Without fail, every single one of those things was discussed from the stage, with the addition of some I wouldn’t have known/considered. And they were communicated very eloquently.
“I know I’m saying things you probably already knew, but just wanted you to be encouraged that yet another person really “got it” and found the conference to helpful, encouraging, and extremely worthwhile. God’s hand was definitely visible in that work. So again, I thank you, I thank the entire Vision Forum staff, and I thank all of the guests for investing their time in that conference....” —M.
