Billionaire, David Green proves that hard work and tithing is the key to financial success

David Green, the founder of Hobby Lobby credits his extraordinary business success by applying the Biblical scriptures into his business ethics. Starting from humble beginnings, he started selling photo frames and with the help of his wife managed to build the world’s largest retail arts and craft store in America with revenues of U.S $3.3 billion in 2013.

In this video Mr. Green explains how obeying the principles of the Bible will guarantee success, from paying tithes, being diligent and propagating the gospel. It’s also essential to know that you must cultivate a phenomenal work ethic for God to bless your work, Deuteronomy 28:12 describes this best “The LORD will open for you His good storehouse, the heavens, to give rain to your land in its season and to bless all work of your hand; and you shall lend to many nations, but shall not borrow. This scripture illustrates that you must be working on something for God to bless it. In Mr. Green’s biography “More Than a Hobby” reveals his work ethic in detail from him providing over 100,000 products to making it a rule that his branch managers can’t spend more than 30 minutes on paper work.
