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

Hey Winner,

One of the most pain-pointed questions I hear from other entrepreneurs who have a great product to sell and a powerful message to share is that they can’t figure out how to grow their audience quickly. It seems like they are putting themselves out there, doing all the right work, trying to grow the thing, but all they hear are crickets. 

And that’s frustrating! I remember just a few short years ago being in the same boat, knowing God was calling me to this venture but feeling completely lost because it just didn’t seem to get traction no matter what I was doing. I felt like something was wrong with me or with my messaging or maybe even that I needed to get my ears checked because I wasn’t hearing God correctly.

I mean, do you feel that too?

Today Kristin Dronchi and I will be working through how to leverage other people’s audiences to grow your audience and email list through the power of collaboration specifically with larger events such as bundle promotions and virtual conferences. We’ll touch on how these types of collaborations can help you get off social or at least stop being a slave to it, and we’ll walk through the first steps to take if you want to host an event yourself.

Rooting for you ~ Gabe

Hey Winner,

Okay, friend, you know I get on a soap box about not having to rely on social media for your business. You know I’m not really on social media at all anymore, not even for personal things. BUT… what if you want to be, but you just don’t want it to suck away all your time in your day?

Hey Winner,

Are you feeling like social media is distracting you from life’s moments? Feeling the toxicity of it when you’re scrolling your feed? Wanting permission to do things differently?

Rashidat Odeyemi was feeling that way not too long ago. She went on a journey of kind of posting on social media to posting 3 times a day to not posting at all for a year and a half. Now she is building a healthy relationship with social media where she uses a strategic content and promotional calendar to show up as herself selling her services for her business. 

She’s not completely off, but she’s doing social how she wants to, and that’s what this is all about – getting off completely or at least doing it in a way that feels good to you.

Hey Winner,

We're at the end of chapter 10 of Nehemiah, and there's a list of all the names of Israelites who sealed their names with the Lord. Then they go on to say what they promise to do for the Lord.

They are remembering his grace and his mercy throughout the whole time from leaving Egypt until now. They're remembering what the Lord did for their parents and grandparents. They want to be all in with God.

Let's talk about what this looks like and how we can be all in too.

Hey Winner,

People don’t succeed by chance. It’s not by chance, it’s a choice. It starts with a decision, then a plan, and finally, working the plan while tracking progress and making adjustments as necessary. 

Today we’re going to dive deep into the first three steps of the game planning process: 1) define the goal in writing 2) define a definite deadline 3) create a written plan

Then we’ll briefly talk about the last four steps of the process: 4) take action 5) evaluate and adjust 6) associate 7) see it through.

So much to get through today, but I know that it will help you gain clarity in how you can take your big dream and break it down into smaller stepping stone goals and doable chunks. Let’s get into it.

Hey Winner,

Social media can be a great way to connect with people from your past or even new friends you’ve met along the way. But it can also be a detriment to creating real, deep connections in real life. Social media can be a fun way to show off all that you do, but it can also be a danger if you share too much. 

Want to get off but afraid of FOMO (a fear of missing out) setting in? Want to get off but feel like you’ve built too much with it and it’s hard to let go?

Hey Winner,

When things are tough, do you lean toward giving up right away? Or do you look for ways to push past the challenges and continue pressing forward?

This is THE question, right?

It's so hard to stick with things when we're frustrated or feeling like nothing's working. We start questioning, well is this really where God wants me? Shouldn't it be easier if it were? 

Those doubts and questions are normal when we get hit with obstacles. But how do we push past them? Let's talk about it!

Hey Winner,

The Israelites took the good gifts God gave them, but they rejected the giver. How we do that too, don't we? We forget what God has done for us. We chase after idols or things of this world. Promotion, money, entertainment. We forget to run to the giver who gives these good gifts.

And, even so, he's still standing there with open arms for us, waiting for us to return to him. He doesn't turn his back. Yes, he does discipline us when we need just like any good father would do. But He's standing there with grace and mercy calling for us, longing for us.

So what path do we choose today?

Hey Winner,

Setting a specific goal just takes a little planning and reverse engineering. In the past few episodes we’ve talked about how to create a vision and set bold, purposeful goals, but now it’s time to do something with them. Now it’s time to take that larger dream and break it down into stepping stone goals that are doable and realistic to you so that you’ll be more apt to take the action necessary to make them happen. 

Today we’re going to look at all the dreams you’ve brainstormed and choose the one that you want most right now, or the one you’re feeling God pulling you toward in this season. I’m going to help you shift your mindset in how you see and set goals so that you can actually set yourself up for success from the start to see your goals to the finish line.
