Entrepreneurs Pray and Meditate More

As a busy entrepreneur there is rarely time to do anything other than to focus on business goals.  It takes skill and talent to be able to balance chores, family needs, and entrepreneurial responsibilities.  Despite the time related challenges of running a successful business, studies show that entrepreneurs find time in their busy schedules to pray and meditate.

Studies Show That Entrepreneurs Pray More

Studies show that entrepreneurs spend more time in prayer and meditation than those who are not entrepreneurs.  The question is do the steady pressures of owning a business bring people to their knees to pray and meditate or are people who naturally lean on God more apt to start and run a business.  The constant pressures realized and risks taken when you are an entrepreneur can easily bring anyone to their knees to ask for guidance, support, a breakthrough and sometimes a miracle.  On the other hand, people who lean on God have a faith that enables them to take on the challenges of starting a business with little or no fear

The Baylor Religion survey is a study that has addressed the relationship between entrepreneurs and religion.  The Baylor Religion survey data was not able to answer whether people who naturally lean on God are more likely to start a business.  However the study was able to show that entrepreneurs were just as likely as everyone else to believe in God, read scriptures, and attend religious services.  The study shows that entrepreneurs see God as more personal than non-entrepreneurs.  The study is also able to tell us that one third of American entrepreneurs pray and meditate daily.  Only a quarter or less of non-entrepreneurs pray as much.

Conclusion

There is conclusive evidence that entrepreneurs pray and meditate more than people in other occupations.  What does this mean?  Perhaps it means that the stressors of being an entrepreneur gives more reasons for someone to find themselves on their knees praying to God.
