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

Hey Winner,

Collaborative events can feel like a lot. Big launches, complex logistics, and a level of pressure that doesn’t always fit the season you’re in. But what if there was a simpler way to collaborate… one that still leads to meaningful email list growth without all the noise?

In this conversation with Jan Touchberry, we’re breaking down her Workflow Exchange and how smaller, more intentional collaborative events can create real value for both hosts and contributors. You’ll hear what made this model work, what stayed simple on purpose, and how you might start thinking about something similar in your own business.

If you’ve been curious about collaborations but hesitant to take on something big, this episode will give you a clearer, more doable path forward.
