Pursuing Goals God’s Way - Online Business Strategy - Simple Goal Planning - Start an Online Business for Christian Entrepreneurs

Hey Winner,

“When will ____ happen?” is probably the number one thing I hear from new clients right before their breakthrough.

See, hitting the finish line on your goal isn’t an instant-gratification thing. Otherwise, everyone would be doing it!

It takes work. It takes commitment. It takes stepping out of your comfort zone. 😬

BUT… when it’s feeling like it’s not working no matter what you do, frustration quickly sets in, and quitting seems the only option. I mean, why waste your time on something that simply isn’t going to manifest, right?

This is the tipping point.

Do you throw in the towel? Or do you change your strategy…

Let's talk about it!

Hey Winner,

A flesh-eating bacterial infection landed Wendy Wallace in a coma, a 3-month hospital stay, and amputations of both hands and both feet. What we might consider that to be one of the worst things that could happen to us, is something that Wendy says was actually for her good and for God’s glory.

I’ll link her inspiring story in the show notes if you want to dive deeper into that, but she is now living what she calls her “One Exceptional Life” where God has comforted her in all her tribulation so that she can go on to comfort, encourage, and lead other women in theirs. 

She’s on a mission to help women rediscover God’s joy and peace amid the trials of life by becoming more intentional with Him. And one way she’s doing that is through the Radiant Resilience Event that’s happening virtually September 18-22, and you’re not going to want to miss it! 

Okay, are you ready to dive in to this impactful conversation with Wendy? Let’s do this thing!

Rooting for you ~ Gabe

LISTEN TO HEAR: 

• WHY faith and a personal relationship with Jesus is essential as you go through any struggle
• HOW joy & peace are attributes of the fruit of the Spirit 
• MYTH BUSTER in that we don't have to let the storms derail us

Hey Winner,

You need to make things happen in your business. You need to make things happen in your home. You need to make things happen in your life…

Have you heard that before? Success is you going all in and “making things happen.” 

But what if there were another way?

What if we’d eliminate the overwhelm if we let up on control and choose to shift our focus on connecting with God, our family, and the process more than forcing things to manifest? What if we shifted our perspective that success isn’t the end result, but it’s actually a part of the process?

Today Natalie Burns and I are diving into why you shouldn’t just try to make things happen and what the greater purpose is in what you do – in your home and in your business.

I know you're going to love this conversation!

Hey Winner,

What if you could go from just having a dream, wishing for it... to actually pursuing and accomplishing that specific goal that's on your heart? What if I told you that you need to? What if God put that desire in your heart to use you as a kingdom builder? I don't care what dream it is, I don't care how small you think it is, if God put it in your heart, don't you think He has a plan to see it through? BUT, He won't make it happen if you're just a parked car sitting in the garage. Faith is action in motion, and God will meet you when you take your first step.

I had a wonderful conversation with my friend Kate House in her Goals with Souls Summit earlier this year, and we talked about my simple 3-step framework to setting and crushing goals without having to sacrifice precious family time... without having to fall to the hustle mentality.

You CAN go after your goals in a simple way in the season your in with the capacity you have. Let's talk about it!

Hey Winner,

So... what is the ONE most important thing you need before launching your product?

Well, the first thing to note is that you may THINK you know what your target customer wants... but in reality, they may actually want something entirely different, but in order to get that want or desired outcome, they need what you're teaching. So you need to package your product and messaging in a way that the wants and needs are partnered.

Let's talk about how to get crystal clear on who your target customer is, how you help them, and WHY they want (or need) what you have.

Hey Winner,

Joseph was a dreamer, and God used him. He had no idea why he was dreaming about bundles of wheat bowing down to him, but he did trust God enough to let Him lead. And because of this, he helped his country in dire need, in the midst of years of famine. He became a local hero because he partnered with God in his dreams.

Now, we could go one of two ways. We could completely take the wheel and make things happen on our own, depending on our own plans, and being rigid about carrying them through. We could also go the opposite direction and continue to wait with the ideology that we have to stand still until we hear God move us. 

But what I’ve come to realize is that God won’t move the unmovable. There needs to be a balance of us in action – faith is us in motion, after all – and also us being willing to let God steer the course. When we mesh the two, action and partnership with God, then our dreams will line up with God because He’ll make his desires ours, and we’ll have a beautiful melody. 

I felt like this was important to talk about right now in a culture of self-love and self-dependence and self-motivation and self-self-self. My friend Rashidat learned this important lesson along the way of building her own business, and we dive into being a part of the conversation, but following God’s lead in our lives and businesses.

Hey Winner,

Are you struggling to get work done in your online business? Between a new summer routine, kids at home, changes in activities, and all the things, it's hard to find pockets of time to work unless it's super early in the morning before everyone wakes up or really late at night once everyone is in bed.

But, let's get real, either of those options are just no fun. I don't know about you, but I can't keep my eyes open past 9pm these days, and I do get up early, but I like having that time to have a quiet time, read a devotional or the Word, journal, just take time to be.

So what's the alternative? Is there one? How can you find 6-10 hours a week for your business goals, even with the kids at home? I've always had a full plate with multiple jobs, wearing multiple hats at any given time, I've learned a few tricks along the way, so let's talk about it!

Hey Winner,

An important part of owning an online business is staying healthy to run it. Fueling yourself correctly for maximum energy and endurance is key, and I know first-hand how hard keeping a good food regimen can be. 

So many people tell me I’m lucky because I don’t have to watch what I eat, probably because I’m thin and run a lot, but what you may not know about me is two things. One, I have a low metabolism so when I don’t exercise I can gain weight fairly quickly, and, two, I’ve struggled with food most of my life, overcoming a pretty bad eating disorder in early adulthood. Food is a struggle for me, both wanting to binge and wanting to withhold it, it’s a daily battle I still face. I just have the tools to overcome it a lot easier than I did early on. 

Staying healthy is an important topic to me, and that’s why I wanted to bring Andrea Caprio on to the show to help us with our health goals. Together we talk about how to stay on track with our eating goals, how to overcome mindset blocks we may have around food, and the five key steps to achieving food freedom once and for all.

Hey Winner,

A shiny new social media platform is out, and it can be tempting to jump on the bandwagon. We want to get a head start, after all, before millions of users are inside to get the best reach and the most out of the platform, right? This could be our big break, after all!

I'll be honest... when I first heard about threads and had it explained to me, I initially thought, huh, this could be a fun outlet to try. It seems like it won't be inundated with ads or a bunch of content I don't want to see. But then I took a step back and thought about it some more and realized it's just not the place for me to be right now for various reasons. Let's explore those today, and you can make your own decisions about if you're going to hop on Threads or not.

You'll want to stay to the end because we'll walk through 3 important questions to ask yourself before you dive into a new social media platform.

Rooting for you ~ Gabe

LISTEN TO HEAR:

• What is Threads and why the sudden rave?
• Why I'm choosing not to jump on the Threads bandwagon
• 3 questions you should ask yourself before diving in
