Building a Spirit-Led Business — guest: Rick Avon



Conventional wisdom for entrepreneurs is to start with a business plan. Often, God has his own plan.

Rick Avon, the founder and owner of Avon Design Group in Pittsburgh, PA, didn't start with a business plan. Instead, he started and has built his company by following the lead of the Holy Spirit. He never could have foreseen the way God would take him from a professional detour as a superintendent to having his own design firm.

It has become clear to Rick that he has not been in control, and he brings us a refreshing perspective on the Holy Spirit's role in building a business.

The post Building a Spirit-Led Business — guest: Rick Avon appeared first on Throwing Mountains.


Chris Bolinger is the author of three men’s devotionals – 52 Weeks of Strength for Men, Daily Strength for Men, and Fuerzas para Cada Día para el Hombre – and the co-host of the Throwing Mountains podcast. He splits his time between northeast Ohio and southwest Florida. Against the advice of medical professionals, he remains a die-hard fan of Cleveland pro sports teams. Find him at mensdevotionals.com.
