Global Leadership Summit

In August of 2025, Bree had the privilege of attending the Global Leadership Summit with thousands of other business leaders across the country. This prestigious two-day event was jam-packed with important and applicable information, and she found herself frantically taking notes in hopes of absorbing all the wisdom available to her from each of the speakers.

Pastor and author Craig Groeschel was the first speaker at GLS. He talked about the importance of the mundane in our everyday business lives. According to Craig, the key to greatness isn’t flashiness — it’s that faithfulness and great leadership doesn’t really require that much talent; it just requires consistency.

Craig’s interesting and impactful speech really reverberated with Bree. Much of what we do involves repetition and sometimes that can lead to boredom, but boring is a great thing because boring beats brilliance every single time in the business world. Sure, brilliant ideas can be lucrative, but those are few and far between. It’s really consistency and faithfulness that make a lasting impact on our businesses. If we focus on the right inputs, the right outcomes are sure to follow. 

“Everyone can see the boil, no one ever sees the heat.” - Craig Groeschel

Craig ended his presentation with a powerful analogy. He spoke about a pan of water on a burner. Nothing at all happens at 70 degrees, 150 degrees, or even 211 degrees Fahrenheit, and it may seem that nothing is ever going to happen. Then suddenly, the temperature reaches 212 degrees, and the water begins to boil. It’s the same as a successful business. As we trudge on in our day-to-day work, it may seem like we’re not getting anywhere, but if we’re consistent, eventually we’ll begin to see those explosive results—the kind of results that others can see as well.

“Like a pot of water, there is so much boring and mundane apparent nothingness happening before that first bubble in our business lives. While it’s easy to recognize success, it can be hard to appreciate the hard work and monotony it took to get there. My hope is to encourage you to embrace the boring and bring the heat.” - Craig Groeschel

We hope this insight serves as a reminder that steady, consistent work is what truly drives long-term success. In business and in bookkeeping, it’s often the small, repetitive actions done well over time that create meaningful results. By embracing the “boring” and staying faithful to the fundamentals, you set the foundation for growth you can trust.
