Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

You’ve probably heard it before: Go big or go home. You have to be all in. Hustle harder. But what if that all-in mentality is actually what’s holding you back from achieving your goals?

In this episode, we’re diving into:

✅ Why the “all-in” mindset leads to burnout and frustration

✅ How to recognize what season you’re in and set goals that align with your current capacity

✅ The key to balancing ambition with real life so you don’t sacrifice what truly matters

✅ Why fitting your goals into your life (instead of making your life fit your goals) is the better approach

There are seasons for hustle and seasons for rest, reflection, and realignment. When you learn to embrace both, you’ll actually make more progress—without burning out, quitting early, or resenting your goals.

Hey Winner,

Have you thought of stepping into the in-person arena with your business? And when I ask that, what I mean is by attending live events for networking (and learning) purposes as well as possibly hosting in-person retreats or conferences as another product offering inside your business.

This is another avenue to grow that takes social media out of the equation, and it’s also one where you’ll really enrich your relationships and find deeper connections. Because of this, I wanted to talk with Alison K about the tools it takes for building a successful in-person revenue center for our businesses.

We’ll cover what the most critical parts of building an in-person arm of your business are, why being online isn’t about selling or making sales, and why the future depends on having in-person in your business.

Rooting for you ~ Gabe

Hey Winner,

I’ve written my welcome email sequence for new subscribers, I’m feeling so accomplished knowing they have something ready for them when they get on my list.But now what? 

So many questions… What happens next? What do I send them now? How do I come up with content to send my readers each week? How do I get them to want to open an email from me? Should I worry about people unsubscribing from my email list? Tips to lower unsubscribes? How often should I clean my list? Why isn’t my email list buying from me? What are some ways to casually sell to my list so I don't feel like a salesperson every time?

I’ve had all these questions and more along the way, and this is why I wanted to bring Kate Doster in to go deeper into all things email marketing, as it’s a great place to nurture your leads and turn them into customers.
