Are you a BEE or a FLEA?
What is a Biblical Entrepreneur's Experience (BEE)? It is a business model addressing entrepreneurial challenges through the personal application of biblical principles. In short, the Bible can, and should, be our foundational guide when building a business. The goal of the BEE model is to challenge modern, worldly, entrepreneurial concepts and practices by providing a framework for personal success in the human experience.
In the BEE model, there is a responsibility to respectfully challenge worldly behavior. As BEEs we are trying to pollinate thus creating new life wherever possible. However, we must prepare ourselves for consequences as some worldly people may go to extreme measures in their personal interest of keeping a job, getting the next promotion, making money or simply to "feel better" about themselves.
"The best witness for Christ is allowing our craftsmanship, service, and generosity persist in such contrast to FLEA-managed products that the world is forced to ask what makes us different." -M. S., Pennsylvania
"A prejudice is that a BEE project won't and should not make profits, because it's out of kindness so customers should not be charged. But this is so wrong." -L. W., China
