The High-Powered Christian Entrepreneur
Rotimi Ogunjobi
It is the desire of every rational person to achieve measurable success in their occupation. However, most persons pass through life unhappy with most aspects of their lives. We crave a good life but rarely carry our aspirations beyond the belief it could be achieved through hard work often in the wrong professions. We regularly work at tasks for which we are not suited and regrettably end up with a poor imitation of what we imagine success to be.
The High-Powered Christian Entrepreneur is a book for Bible-believing Christians, both young and the old. It illustrates through instructions and activities how to rise again from life failures and create a new life enterprise suited to what God has fashioned you to be.
The High-Powered Christian Entrepreneur shows how to use proven goal-setting principles in tandem with sound Christian principles to achieve life and financial goals in spite of the times. Though written for practicing Christians this book is meant for anyone in earnest search for measurable goals, progress, and achievements in their life and earnestly able to commit themselves to that search.

PREFACE TO THIS EDITION
At a point in my life, I was a very zealous young Christian,
constantly seeking knowledge that no pastor appeared willing or
able to sufficiently give to me. My eagerness led me to Bible
College, after which I was eventually by my church, put in charge
of a fledgling community church. But this was not my life vision.
Even though I loved to advise and encourage people, I was not cut
out to be a church pastor, at least not yet. I was certain God
required more of me; especially as no other part of my life was
going on impressively. I resolved thereafter to focus more on the
task of unraveling the purpose of human life and especially of my
life, which was certainly not going enviably at all.
I have in my life passed through scary medical situations
and even more frightening financial situations from which
anyone’s survival should defy rational human explanation. But I
remember the amusing quip of a very scared pastor which says:
“without passing through a mess, you cannot have a message “. I
have passed through sufficient mess to preach thousands of
messages and nearly completely convinced the purpose of my life
may be an encourager. I have indeed seen nearly everything.

I wrote the first version of this book, I believe purely from
divine interference. The version was compiled from personal notes
and observations made from various challenges life had led me
through. The book was published under a pseudonym; because I
wasn’t sure I wanted anymore to be associated with religious
writing. That done, I set the book aside, refused even to promote it
and happily carried on with my other interests, the divine call
being done with.
I have formal qualifications in civil engineering, software
technology and also journalism. The engineering degree I acquired
at the age of twenty and set aside about fifteen years later because I
thought it was no more sufficiently challenging. I needed
something which interfaced more with the world around me rather
than with a specialist niche. I needed an enjoyable occupation
being convinced nobody was ever created to live an unhappy life. I
believe every human being has a unique skill, something that
nobody else can do in the same way as you can, and if you can find
it, you have found the purpose of your existence and life will
consequently become easier to live. My most enjoyable skill is
creative-writing and I made certain it would be an important part
of whatever I committed myself to, a decision I believe divinely
placed after a circuitous life journey.
After reading this book, I am sure you will want to ask if I
eventually achieved the financial goal, I projected. No, I did not.
This is because I started with a goal and ended with a vision that
set the goal aside, for a while. The perks were equally rewarding –
