The only thing I'd add here is Founders are confident. Obviously. You have to be to venture off on your own and carve your own path.
With that confidence comes, for me at least, a lingering question on if it's me steering or God.
"Is this truly what He wants of me?"
When I think of ways to make doubly sure of that fact I think He gave us an excellent way of checking our navigation.
Let's turn to Mark Chapter 2 Verse 18-20
18 Now John’s disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and people came and said to him, “Why do John’s disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” 19 And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. 20 The days will come, when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.
I think to do this right fasting must be a core part of your strategy. There's no better way in my humble opinion to ensure our path is true.
I am thinking about writing on the connection between spiritual discipline and business discipline / success.
The point about having the confidence. I think a way to reframe it is (a) acknowledging the skills God gave us (ie: understanding we are capable), then (b) recognizing our specific mission in the world (evidenced by the experiences we are given), and finally (c) making that leap to entrepreneurship WITH God. Putting our confidence in Him to be with us, rather than it being confidence in ourselves.

Let me know what you think!
Fasting is a great addition to this.
