85 | Faith Over Hustle: Accomplishing Your Goals at God's Pace

  Key Takeaways: 💡 1. Understanding Bold Faith vs. Loud Personality Bold faith isn’t about volume—it’s about trusting God fully, even when it’s uncomfortable. God used quiet leaders in powerful ways (think: Esther, Moses, and Mary). 2 Timothy 1:7 – “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.” You can show up in your own way and still make an impact. 💡 2. What Quiet Confidence Looks Like Trusting your God-given intuition and insight. Making intentional decisions, not rushed ones. Psalm 46:10 – “Be still and know that I am God.” Leading from behind the scenes, yet still being effective and influential. 💡 3. Practical Ways to Cultivate Bold Faith Start your day in the Word—faith grows from time in God’s presence. Speak the Word over your business—faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). Say “yes” to faith-led risks, even if they scare you. Surround yourself with faith-filled voices (mentors, podcasts, community). 💡 4. Practical Ways to Build Quiet Confidence Know your strengths and lean into them—you were wired this way on purpose. Set clear boundaries to protect your peace. Practice “showing up” in small, consistent ways (emails, DMs, blog posts, voice messages). Celebrate your wins—even the quiet ones! Let's Take Action: This week, identify one area where fear is holding you back in your business. 👉 Replace that fear with truth from Scripture. 👉 Then take one bold, obedient step—even if it’s behind the scenes.   What's Next: 1. FREE Personality Test 2. FREE 10-Minute Content Plan 3. HELP Starting An Online Business To Email Us: [email protected]

 Are you constantly pushing, grinding, and striving to grow your business faster—but still feeling spiritually and emotionally drained? In this episode, we unpack the difference between hustle culture and Holy Spirit-led growth. Learn how to pursue your business goals in step with God, not the pressure of the world. Key Takeaways: ✨ 1. The Trap of Hustle Culture The world tells us: “Work harder. Sleep less. Do more.” Hustle glorifies performance, not purpose. It can lead to burnout, confusion, and disconnection from God. Proverbs 10:22 – “The blessing of the Lord makes rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.” ✨ 2. What Growing at God’s Pace Looks Like It means trusting His timing, not forcing your own. God often grows you before He grows your business. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “To everything there is a season…” Jesus never rushed, yet fulfilled every assignment. ✨ 3. Signs You’re Operating in Hustle Mode Anxiety when you’re not being “productive.” Comparing your timeline to others. Saying yes to things out of fear, not obedience. Ignoring rest, Sabbath, or spiritual direction. ✨ 4. How to Shift to a Faith-Led Business Rhythm Start with prayer before planning your business week. Make rest a non-negotiable (Exodus 20:8-10). Let go of artificial deadlines that God never gave you. Ask for daily manna, not 5-year blueprints—God provides just what you need (Matthew 6:11). ✨ 5. What You Gain When You Walk With God Peace in the process. Confidence in your calling. A business that glorifies God and reflects His grace. Clients and opportunities that align with your values and purpose. Let's Take Action: Take 10 minutes this week to pray over your schedule and ask: 💭 “God, where am I striving in my own strength instead of trusting You?” Then, remove one hustle-based habit and replace it with a faith-based rhythm—whether it’s rest, prayer, or planning with the Holy Spirit.

Key Takeaways The Visibility Pressure Trap Social media glamorizes being "everywhere." Introverts may feel like they're failing if they're not constantly posting or showing up live. Reminder: Your value isn't tied to visibility metrics! Why It Feels Draining Constant outward energy → mentally exhausting. Lack of boundaries → emotional burnout. Not aligned with how God designed you. Biblical Encouragement: Jesus' Rhythm of Solitude & Service Mark 1:35 - Jesus withdrew often to recharge. Visibility isn't constant; it’s purposeful. Practical Tips for Authentic Marketing Without Burnout Choose 1-2 key platforms you enjoy. Batch content to minimize daily drain. Focus on depth, not volume (1 meaningful post > 5 shallow ones). Automate and repurpose content strategically. Lean into written formats (blog posts, email newsletters) or whatever feels most natural. Shift Your Mindset: Visibility as Service, Not Self-Promotion Your content serves people, not your ego. Trust that God will amplify your efforts (Proverbs 16:3). Let's Take Action: Audit your current marketing habits—what feels life-giving, what feels draining? Choose one change this week to protect your energy and still show up authentically.

Episode Summary: Ever feel like you're not qualified enough to run a business? Like you're just pretending, and one day, people will figure out you’re not “good enough”? Imposter syndrome is one of the biggest mindset blocks Christian entrepreneurs face, and today, we’re tackling it head-on. In this episode, I’ll walk you through why imposter syndrome happens, what the Bible says about it, and how to overcome it so you can confidently step into your God-given calling. If you’ve been waiting for “proof” that you’re qualified, this is your sign! Let’s get into it. Key Takeaways: 1. Understanding Imposter Syndrome: What It Really Is Imposter syndrome is feeling like a fraud despite having the skills, experience, or calling to do something. Common thoughts: “Who am I to do this?” “I’m not as good as other entrepreneurs.” “Someone will figure out that I don’t know what I’m doing.” Biblical Truth: The enemy loves to plant doubt in our minds to keep us from walking in our purpose (John 10:10). 2. What the Bible Says About Feeling Unqualified Moses: Felt unworthy to lead but was chosen by God (Exodus 4:10-12). Gideon: Thought he was too weak, but God called him a “mighty warrior” (Judges 6:12-16). Paul: Had a past of persecuting Christians, but God used him powerfully (1 Timothy 1:12-16). Lesson: God doesn’t call the qualified; He qualifies the called. 3. Practical Steps to Overcoming Imposter Syndrome ✅ Shift Your Identity Your worth isn’t based on your experience or performance—it’s based on what God says about you. Ephesians 2:10: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works.” ✅ Remember Who You Serve You’re not building a business just for yourself—it’s a Kingdom assignment! Stop focusing on your limitations and start focusing on God’s unlimited power. ✅ Take Action Despite Fear Confidence comes from doing, not from waiting until you “feel” ready. Action combats fear—when you show up, you prove to yourself that you are capable. ✅ Speak Life Over Your Business Replace self-doubt with affirmations: “God has equipped me for this.” “I am called to serve and impact lives.” “My work is valuable, and my voice matters.” Proverbs 18:21: “The tongue has the power of life and death.” ✅ Surround Yourself with Encouragement Connect with other faith-filled entrepreneurs who will speak truth into you when doubt creeps in. Find mentors, listen to encouraging podcasts (like this one!), and stay rooted in the Word. Let's Take Action1. Choose your one-hour time block and put it on your calendar.2.

Think you don’t have enough time to grow your online business? Think again! In this episode, I’ll show you how to maximize just one hour a day to build a profitable online business—even if you have a full-time job, family responsibilities, or just feel short on time. You don’t need endless hours; you just need a focused strategy. Let’s break it down step by step so you can start seeing real progress today! Key Takeaways: 1. Shift Your Mindset: Small Consistent Actions = Big Results Success isn’t about having more time—it’s about using the time you have wisely. Biblical Truth: “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans” (Proverbs 16:3). Instead of focusing on what you don’t have (time, resources), focus on what you do have and maximize it. 2. How to Structure Your One-Hour Work Block 10 Minutes: Pray & Plan Start with a short prayer for guidance and focus. Write down the one most important task for the day. 40 Minutes: Deep Work on Income-Generating Tasks Create content (social media posts, emails, blog posts). Engage with your audience (DMs, comments, relationship building). Sell your offer (promote, send emails, follow up with leads). 10 Minutes: Review & Prepare for Tomorrow Track progress (what worked, what didn’t?). Set up your #1 focus for the next day. 3. Top Priorities to Focus on in One Hour a Day Create content that builds trust & attracts clients (social media, email, blog, podcast). Engage & nurture relationships (respond to comments, DMs, emails). Make an offer daily (remind your audience how they can work with you). Automate & batch tasks to free up time in the future. 4. The Power of Focus: Eliminating Distractions Turn off notifications and set a timer. Find a quiet space where you can work with intention. Stop multitasking—one focused task is more effective than five half-done tasks. 5. Faith + Business: Trusting God with the Process You don’t need to hustle 24/7—God can multiply your efforts. Matthew 6:33: “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Commit your one-hour work session to God and watch Him open doors Let's Take Action1.

In today's episode, we’re diving deep into the #1 mistake that’s holding your brand back from growth, visibility, and success. If you’ve been wondering why your business isn’t attracting the right audience or converting leads into loyal customers, this episode is for you. I’ll break down this common branding mistake and share practical steps to fix it.   The #1 Branding Mistake The biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when building their brand is lack of clarity. Many business owners try to be everything to everyone, which results in confusion and weak messaging. A brand that isn’t clear on who it serves, what it offers, and why it matters struggles to attract the right people. How to Fix It Define Your Brand Identity Ask yourself: Who am I serving? What problem do I solve? Create a clear brand statement: I help [audience] achieve [specific goal] through [your product/service]. Simplify Your Messaging If your audience is confused about what you do, they won’t buy from you. Use clear, concise language on your website, social media, and marketing materials. Create a Signature Offer Stop trying to sell everything—focus on a core product or service that aligns with your brand. Make it easy for customers to understand and invest in what you offer. Be Consistent Everywhere Your website, social media, and content should all reflect the same messaging, style, and tone. Consistency builds trust and makes your brand memorable. Show Up & Build Authority Regularly share valuable content that educates, inspires, or solves a problem for your audience. Position yourself as an expert in your field through blogs, podcasts, and social media. Let's Take Action: This week, I challenge you to audit your brand message: Go to your social media bios, website, or sales pages. Ask yourself: Is it clear who I help and what I offer? If not, rewrite your brand statement using the formula: I help [who] achieve [what] through [how].
