The reason the title of this book includes the word PROVEN is simple, his words carry proof that can be tested and applied in everyday life.

I’ve spent 16 years coaching business owners. The problem Dale Young is addressing here is one I recognize immediately — entrepreneurs who aren’t failing, they’re succeeding at the wrong game. Business is running. Faith is somewhere else. Family is getting the leftovers. And nothing feels like enough. Dale calls it “separate worlds.” That diagnosis is accurate, and more coaches should say it out loud. What separates this book is that Dale doesn’t stop at the symptom. He goes to identity, calling, and the relationships that either elevate your life or quietly erode it. The teleios framework alone — complete, whole, undivided — gives faith-driven entrepreneurs the language for what they’ve been hungry for but couldn’t name. Your business was always meant to serve your life. Not consume it. This book is the map back to that truth.

This is the book I wish I would’ve read decades ago while climbing the ladder in corporate America! When author Dale Young talks about divine purpose, he’s not being vague. He gets specific in a compelling way that captivated me. I agree with Dale that working my business, while living out my Christ-centered faith with conviction, were never meant to be separate. And he actually provides the “how to.” I like that Dale writes like a Pastor while thinking like a seasoned business coach. Truly, it’s a rare combination, but precisely what made this special book trust-worthy for me. Hats off to Dale Young! He has delivered a current and very important book for entrepreneurs and business leaders.
