Hello, my name is Rod Kirby and welcome to the Success Center – The #1 Christian entrepreneur’s “Blog-a-zine” for small business, marketing, and social media help!

My mission is to connect Christian entrepreneurs with people, tools, and resources to help them become successful in their businesses.

Who am I?

Rodricus Kirby

I’m a success coach, producer of The Big Business Show, and frequent flyer. More importantly, I’m an entrepreneur just like you, and through this site I share what helps me to achieve my business goals day by day.

Late Night Infomercials

In mid 2007, I remember sitting in my room and watching infomercials in the wee hours of the morning. You know the kind, where the guy is telling you how, if you buy his system then you’ll unlock the “secrets” to your financial success.

The commercial showcased extravagant wealth and people that lived “the good life” because of the guy’s system. However, all I could think about was how tough it really is to be an entrepreneur.

I did some research in the Word of God (aka, the Bible) and realized that God wants us to succeed, but we have to do it His way.

It really bothered me that people would waste their time and money with these “systems of success,” instead of maximizing the tools God has already given them.

From business Owner to business Leader

Within a month I started a monthly seminar called, The Small Business Learning Series. I taught countless aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners critical principles of success and leadership straight from the Bible.

The success I achieved with the seminar series led me to speak to hundreds of professionals and entrepreneurs around the mid-south.

In the fall of 2008 I took up the title of “Success Coach” and began to help entrepreneurs, one-on-one, to achieve their business goals.

In January 2009 I started a WordPress.com blog called, The Success Center. I blogged about things that really inspired entrepreneurs and made a difference in their lives. 2 months later I re-launched the Success Center as a self-hosted WordPress blog-a-zine and to this day it empowers thousands of entrepreneurs from all walks of life.

The Success Center Today

You’ll find over 200 articles here that will teach you how to maximize social media marketing, how to be an effective leader, how to blog for business, God’s way to business success, and more!
