Although it wasn't the absolute straightest path, I soon left the corporate world, earned my license as a professional counselor, and went on to become a Christian Business Coach and Counselor".

I’m really good at what I do and not shy about it…now, if you’re exceptional at something you, shouldn’t be either.)", says Steve Harris.

Some Christians business owners are guilty of this, not being bold at selling themselves and getting way less profit than they should. It prevents then from scaling up and truly being at the position of advantage in their business.

If you're not ready to put in the work your results desire, then don't call, email or sign-up for anything he prints, deliver or discuss.

He knows that he is tough, but can guarantee that you'll never find someone who's cheering you on and is passionate about being in your corner as much as he is, when he's your coach. It's tough love, but you'll never second guess the love.
