104 | Praying is Not a Marketing Strategy (But Here's What Is)

Key Takeaways: 🙏 1. Prayer Is Foundation, Not Substitution Prayer connects you to God, but it doesn’t replace action. James 2:17 — “Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” Business requires you to move your feet while God directs your steps. ⚡ 2. Why “I’m Just Waiting on God” Is Actually Fear in Disguise Many Christian entrepreneurs use “waiting on the Lord” as spiritual-sounding procrastination. Fear of rejection, failure, or being seen often hides behind holy language. The truth: God already gave you permission to move. You don’t need another “sign.” 📣 3. What to Do Instead: Prayer + Practical Marketing Pray for wisdom, clarity, and courage — then act. Marketing is simply making it easy for people to find the solution God gave you to offer. Basics every Christian entrepreneur needs: A clear message about who you serve An offer that solves a problem Consistent visibility (email, social, podcast, etc.) A way for people to buy/work with you 🧭 4. The Biblical Balance: Dependence + Diligence Proverbs 16:3 — “Commit your work to the Lord, and your plans will be established.” Notice it doesn’t say commit your intentions or dreams — but your work. God’s favor flows through your faith-filled actions. 🙌 Let’s Take Action: Audit Your Prayers vs. Your Actions Look at your journal or prayer list. How many things are you asking God to do… that He already asked you to do? Choose One Marketing Action Today Send that email. Post that offer. Message that potential client. Move. Pair It with Prayer Before you take action, pray: “Lord, bless this step. Use it for Your glory. Align my words with who You want me to reach.” Repeat Daily Prayer + Action + Consistency = Momentum.   What's Next: 1. FREE Top Ways To Get Clients 2. FREE 10-Minute Content Plan 3. JOIN a Like-Minded Community 4. START An Online Business To Email Us: [email protected]

Key Takeaways: 💡 1. Why Consistency Feels So Hard Right Now You’ve probably been trying to copy a dozen strategies from other people. Confusion kills consistency. What you need is clarity on the right next step for your specific gifts, not more noise. ✝️ 2. God’s Way vs. Hustle Culture Hustle says: do more, grind harder, never stop. God says: work diligently, rest, and trust Him with the results. Colossians 3:23 – “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” 🧭 3.

Key Takeaways: 💡 1. Why “No Audience” Isn’t Actually No Audience You have people around you already—family, friends, coworkers, church connections. An “audience of one” is still an audience worth serving. Luke 16:10 – “Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.” ✝️ 2. Your First Sales Will Likely Come from Conversations, Not Campaigns People don’t buy because of your follower count. They buy because they trust you can help solve a problem. Start where you are: talk to real people in your circle who need what you offer. 🧭 3. How to Sell Without Feeling Slimy Position your offer as an invitation, not pressure. Share your personal “why” behind what you do. Use this question as your simple pitch:👉 “Would it help if I walked with you through this?” 🌿 4. Simple Strategies for Getting Clients with No Audience Referrals: Ask your network if they know anyone who could use your help. Beta Offers: Start with a low-cost, high-value version of your offer to get testimonials. Borrowed Audiences: Guest on podcasts, collaborate with a friend, or share in a group (with permission). Personal Invitations: Reach out to 5 people you already know who might benefit. 🙌 Let’s Take Action: Write down 10 people in your current circle who might need what you’re offering (or know someone who does). Draft a simple message inviting them to a conversation, not a cold pitch. Practice saying your offer out loud without apologizing or overexplaining. Commit to serving your first 1–3 clients deeply, so their results become your best marketing.

Key Takeaways: 💡 1. Stop Guessing — Start ListeningYour first offer should be based on real needs, not random ideas. Ask your audience directly what their biggest struggle is. Pay attention to what they’re already asking you for. Use their exact words when you describe your offer—it builds trust and makes them feel seen. 📖 Proverbs 18:13 – “To answer before listening— that is folly and shame.” ✝️ 2. The Three Core Elements of an Offer That SellsEvery irresistible offer has: A Specific Problem – Narrow it down. “Help with social media” is vague. “Create your first Instagram content plan in a week” is clear. A Quick-Win Promise – What can they achieve in 30–90 days? A Doable Delivery Method – Will you coach, create, teach, or guide? Choose a format you can sustain without resentment. 🧭 3. Pricing with Purpose (Not Panic) Pricing too low can make your offer seem less valuable. Pricing too high without proof can scare people away. Consider: the result, the transformation, and the time you invest. Remember: your price should sustain your business and your life—not just “cover costs.” 📖 1 Timothy 5:18 – “The worker deserves his wages.” 🌿 4. Launch Before You Feel ReadyYou don’t need a perfect funnel or polished website to sell your first offer. Share it with a small group first. Gather feedback. Refine the offer as you go—don’t wait to “perfect” it in secret. 📖 Zechariah 4:10 – “Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” 🙌 Let’s Take Action: Identify the Problem You Solve – Write it in one clear sentence. Craft a Quick-Win Promise – What will they achieve by the end? Choose Your Delivery Format – 1:1 calls, group program, digital product, etc. Set Your Price – Pick a number and stand by it without discounting for validation. Beta Launch It – Offer it to a small group, collect feedback, and adjust.   What's Next: 1. FREE Top Ways To Get Clients 2. FREE 10-Minute Content Plan 3. JOIN a Like-Minded Community 4. START An Online Business To Email Us: [email protected]

 Key Takeaways 💡 1. Why So Many Ideas Isn’t a Problem—It’s PotentialGod gave you creativity, curiosity, and capability for a reason. You’re not broken—you’re brilliant. Having multiple gifts doesn’t mean you have to use them all at once. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “To everything there is a season…” Knowing what to shelf and what to start is wisdom. ✝️ 2. Hobby, Ministry, or Monetizable Idea?Let’s sort your ideas into 3 buckets: Hobby: You love it, but you don’t want to manage it or monetize it. (And that’s okay!) Ministry: It fuels your soul and serves others, but it’s not meant to be your business. Monetizable Business Idea: You enjoy it, it solves a real problem, and people would pay for it. Ask: Would I do this long-term if no one clapped for me? Could I help someone get a clear result with this gift? Would someone pay to solve this problem? 🧭 3. The Clarity Formula:Gift + Burden + Problem = Business Idea Gift – What are you naturally good at or trained in? Burden – What frustrates you that you can’t stop thinking about? Problem – What do people need help with right now that aligns with your gift and burden? Example:If you're good at writing, burdened by women not knowing their identity in Christ, and people keep asking for help creating devotionals or content—that’s a business seed. 🌿 4. Pick ONE for This SeasonYou don’t need a forever idea—you need a faithful starting point. Look at your time, capacity, and energy level. What’s doable right now? God doesn’t need your perfection—He blesses your obedience. 🙌 Let’s Take Action: 1. Write Down All Your Ideas Get them out of your head and onto paper. Brain dump with no pressure. 2. Label Each One H = Hobby | M = Ministry | B = Business Be honest. What do you really want to pursue right now? 3. Pray Over the List Ask: “God, what would You have me start with in this season?” Then wait. Listen. Take the next small step.

Key Takeaways: 👥 1. Define the Purpose of Your Group Who is it for? (Be specific—“Christian women in business” isn’t narrow enough.) What problem does your group help solve? Why should someone join today instead of scrolling by? Give it a name that promises a result or has multiple keywords 📣 2. Promote It in All the Right Places Post about it on your personal profile 1–2x/week Share wins, member shoutouts, or behind-the-scenes in stories Use the CTA in your lead magnet and podcast outro: “Want deeper convos like this?

Key Takeaways: ✍️ 1. Why an Email List is a Must-Have You don’t own social media—but you do own your list. Email creates trust, consistency, and connection on your terms. 💡 2. Create a Lead Magnet That Solves a Real Problem Think: “What’s one small win I can help someone get today?” Keep it relevant, quick, and easy to consume. 📲 3.

Key Takeaways: ✝️ 1. Yes, You Can Love Jesus and Make Money Jesus talked about money—a lot. Not to condemn it, but to redeem our relationship with it. Deuteronomy 8:18 – “It is God who gives you the ability to produce wealth.” Money isn’t the enemy—idolatry is. Your business is a tool, not your identity. 💰 2. You’re Not “Less Holy” for Wanting to Earn God wired you with gifts to create, solve problems, and generate income. Making money in your business allows you to be generous, present with your family, and focused on your mission. You can honor God in the way you earn, not just in what you give. 😬 3. How to Make Sales Without Being Fake Drop the script. No need for hype or manipulation. Speak from experience, from truth, and from service. Show up consistently and let your character market for you. Proverbs 11:1 – “The Lord detests dishonest scales, but accurate weights find favor with Him.” 🌿 4. Business as Ministry (Yes, Really) Every offer, post, email, or podcast is a chance to reflect God’s heart. You don’t need a pulpit—you need to show up in obedience. You can build a brand that’s bold, biblical, and believable without watering down your values. 🙌 Let’s Take Action: Commit Your Work to GodStart your week by reading Proverbs especially Proverbs 16:3 and asking Him to bless your hands and heart. Check Your Heart Ask: Am I afraid of making money because I think it’s ungodly—or because I’m afraid of what people will think? Reframe Your Sales Message Instead of “buy this,” try: “Here’s how I can help you solve this problem, and why I believe it matters.” What's Next: 1. FREE Top Ways To Get Clients 2. FREE 10-Minute Content Plan 3. JOIN a Like-Minded Community 4. START An Online Business To Email Us: [email protected]
