Are you looking for great discussion, business mentorship, and excellent online resources? Then join one of our Jacksonville business groups. 

Faith Driven Entrepreneur is on a mission to connect business leaders like you with a wider faith driven community. One of the best ways to get plugged in is to join one of our Foundation Groups. For eight weeks, you’ll meet regularly with other professionals to discuss faith, purpose, and business. 

We seek to better understand how God calls us to be entrepreneurs. What does it mean to lead a team of employees well? How do we make sure entrepreneurship doesn’t overwhelm our lives and take away from what’s truly important? How can we pursue operational excellence?

In our experience, most business networking groups in Jacksonville don’t ask those questions. You might feel the same way. You next step is to sign up for an upcoming group in Jacksonville. Whether you’re just launching your first business or you’ve been a serial entrepreneur for decades, we promise you’ll come away feeling inspired.

What to Expect from a Jacksonville Faith Driven Entrepreneur Group

Faith Driven Entrepreneur appreciates America’s historical reputation as a business incubator. God definitely uses businesses of all sizes to impact the world. But sometimes, entrepreneurship can become an idol. Or it becomes a prison.

Entrepreneurs don’t like to admit they’re struggling either. We’re supposed to drive the newest car and post growing YOY revenues. But underneath the surface, we’re struggling with addiction, burnout, purposelessness, and loneliness. It’s time that someone created a business group that focused on these issues. 

Then again, maybe you’re doing really well in your business. Our Jacksonville business groups are for you, too! Build on that momentum and share your victories with the group. Every kind of entrepreneur and business professional is welcome.

We’re simply setting the stage for honest discussions on the highs and lows of creating businesses. Right here in the Jacksonville business community.
