Sean Conlon, Serial Entrepreneur, on Selling Everything He Owns

You may have ambitious goals for business, generosity, or Kingdom impact and still wonder whether pursuing something good can quietly become more about your plans than God’s direction.

How can you hold big vision with open hands while staying attentive to the small acts of obedience, relationships, and daily decisions God may be placing in front of you?

Meet your guide

Sean Conlon, a serial entrepreneur with experience building companies in digital printing, pet e-commerce, and wedding venues, shares how years of ambitious business goals gradually exposed a deeper tension between pursuing success for God and actually following God’s direction. Even his goal of someday giving a million dollars annually to his church became tangled with personal ambition and the wealth required to achieve it.

Sean describes a season of surrender that changed how he approached business, money, time, and generosity. He and his wife, Christina, began selling their possessions, moved into an RV, and launched the Paws for Love Tour with their therapy dog, Nash, choosing to follow one small step of obedience at a time. He also explains why generosity now includes giving his time, not simply his money, and why he developed clearer priorities for serving the poor, seeking the lost, and strengthening believers.

By the end, you may find yourself evaluating success less by the size of your goals and more by whether your daily choices remain aligned with God.
