In this episode of The Faith & Entrepreneurship Podcast, we’re talking about one of the hardest parts of the journey—navigating the season of “not yet.” As driven leaders and entrepreneurs, it’s easy to feel frustrated when things aren’t moving as quickly as we hoped. But sometimes, delay isn’t denial—it’s preparation.

Here’s what we’re covering:
🔹 How to tell the difference between a “no” and a “not yet”
🔹 Why delay might be part of a bigger process of growth and alignment
🔹 The emotional toll of waiting—and how to handle it without losing heart
🔹 What to do when your plans don’t line up with your current reality
🔹 Encouragement for those who feel stuck, behind, or overlooked

If you’re in a waiting season and wondering what it means, this episode will help you shift your perspective and find purpose in the pause.


I’m Devon Dickinson. I've been married for 25 years and have a family of 6. I've founded, bought, sold, and sometimes failed with 10 different companies. As an individual entrepreneur, my companies have been on the Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies list longer than any other individual. I enjoy investing in real estate and I've coached soccer for the last 6 years; which seems to be what keeps me up at night. Although I now own several multimillion-dollar companies, I only started with $5,000 and a credit card. Before we get started, I should warn you that this is all true... I don't know the easy way in anything I only know “the hard way”. I want to help you avoid learning the hard way (where you can) through straightforward advice that will fuel the entrepreneur in ALL OF US!
