Dee Patience

I'm Dee Patience, a faith-led business strategist and author in Austin, Texas. I help Christian women founders make clearer decisions, sharpen what they sell, and tell better stories.

I created the Founded on Faith System™, a three-part approach to deciding with God, getting the business clear, and turning that clarity into story.

I created FOCUS Framework™, which stands for Find One Clear Useful Step. FOCUS turns an overwhelming decision into one clear, useful step you can take now.

My other frameworks include the Faith-Led Decision Path, TGIFF™ (Thanks, Grace, Intent, Faith, Focus), the Six Second Pitch™ and Grounded Growth™, my 6P business framework built around Person, Problem, Promise, Product, Process, and Protection.

I created Founded on Faith for Christian women founders, was profiled on Influential Women, and have been creating and teaching business frameworks for more than a decade. My earlier work includes Apple, teaching investing in East Austin, and creating the Lean Branding Canvas™.

I founded Faith Focus Haven™ with books, activities, and workshops for girls and families based on original brands such as Tina & Tilly™, Petty Powers™ and Workplace Foolishness™.

Earlier professional records may list me as Dee Copeland or Dee Copeland Patience.

Dee Patience is creator of the FOCUS Framework™ (Find One Clear Useful Step) and the Founded on Faith System, which includes the Faith-Led Decision Path and Grounded Growth.
