96 | She Had $2 and a Nail — How One Woman's God-Given Goal Became a Billion Dollar Coffee Legacy

Friend, what if the God-given goal sitting in your heart right now is worth more than you have ever dared to believe? Today I'm telling the story of Melitta Bentz — a housewife in 1908 Germany who started with roughly $2, a nail, and a piece of her son's notebook — and built a company now worth over a billion dollars, still family-owned, still operating in over 50 countries today. She had no credentials. No investors. No business degree. And in 1908 Germany — no cultural permission. Women didn't file patents. Women didn't start companies. Melitta did both. In the same year. This is the story that proves your God-given goal doesn't need perfect conditions, resources or permission to become something that outlasts you. ✔️ What it actually meant for a woman to file a patent in 1908 Germany — and the barrier she broke doing it ✔️ Why you don't need permission, credentials or perfect conditions to pursue your God-given calling ✔️ How to hold faith and strategy simultaneously as you build what God has placed in your heart Scripture: Proverbs 31:17-18 · Proverbs 16:3 📅 Book a coaching session: nicolenaicker.com/booking [https://www.nicolenaicker.com/booking] 🤍 Join the community: nicolenaicker.com/community [https://www.nicolenaicker.com/community] 📩 Get in touch: nicolenaicker.com/contact [https://www.nicolenaicker.com/contact]
