I and many of the women I serve, and know, have struggled with this issue. 

That's why in today's episode we will look at what causes this struggle and...

Let's face it. None of us like it when challenges arise within our business.

They never show up at a good time! 

They can make us feel threatened, unsettled, and overwhelmed. 

We can even become paralyzed by them.

But, what if the challenges we face are actually golden opportunities to experience the glory of Christ within our lives? 

What if they are the very instruments God will use to deepen our relationship with Him,  grow us into the women we were created to be,  and expand our witness of Chris...

Are you confident that God will empower you to fulfill the vision you are pursuing? 

Do you ever find yourself undone by fear, doubt, or becoming overwhelmed amidst the challenges of building your business?

Building a business can be exciting AND challenging. 

While we come to the calling with an array of God-given gifts and talents, along with a passionate heart to fulfill God's will, the WORK of building a business can be downright DAUNTING. 

That's because God's call is bigger than us. 

It is designed to require CHRIST to empower YOU to succeed in the work. 

But few people know HOW to be empowered by Christ amidst their DAILY tasks. 

So we and our businesses become HINDERED by our lack of Chirst-empowered wisdo...

Today we connect around one of the most common, frustrating, and challenging problems we face as we seek to grow a business. OVERWHELM. 

As passionate women of God in business, we spin lots of plates as we care for our families, our communities, and ourselves.  

We love to enjoy our lives, and we also take God's calling to business seriously. 

But we can easily experience the paralysis of overwhelm as we combine the responsibilities of life with the challenges of business growth.

So, listen in as we explore both scripture and a r...

As business owners, we continuously look at how to grow our businesses and we work hard to bring success out of our efforts. 

But sometimes we are unaware of a critical mistake we are making that is sabotaging the success we are working so hard to create. 

This is what I have discovered inside MANY Christian businesses. 

It's not a mistake we mean to make, or one we want to make. 

It is one we subconsciously make because 
1. Few people are talking about the critical importance of  this  valuable resource

Have you ever found yourself feeling incredibly small compared to the daunting projects that stand between you and the growth of your business?  

Maybe you've found yourself wondering...  

"What have I gotten myself into?!" 

"Will I ever get to a point of feeling courageous and victorious in this business?" 

"Or am I doomed to live in a never-ending state of stress and fear when I consider all that is required of me to succeed?"  

Well, if you can relate to this, then you're in the right place.

Have you ever found yourself being pulled away from the important work you have to do by tasks and activities that are not related to your work? 

I'm not talking about the simple breaks in the day to refresh our minds, but those things that lure us away from our work, steal our precious time, and leave us feeling like a failure because we've avoided the important work we KNEW we needed to be doing... but just couldn't bring ourselves to DO. 

Well, you are not alone! 

Today we're going to be looking at...

Have you ever felt like you're hiding…playing small…or not fully stepping into the vision God has for you?

Maybe it's the feeling of hopelessness you get whenever you face something outside your comfort zone. 

Maybe it's a disheartening belief that YOU are NOT capable enough, smart enough, or courageous enough to fulfill the vision you have within your heart. 

Maybe it's the times you’ve tried and felt like you failed. 

So, you find yourself playing it safe… hiding in the shadows… do...

Most of us as passionate women of God have started a business because we have a vision or a dream that God has placed within our hearts.

But, as we set out to fulfill that vision we often run straight into the negative ways we see ourselves, along with our weaknesses and the frustrating capacity of those weaknesses to hinder our dreams.

We begin to think the vision is just too hard for us to accomplish.  

So we hold back and live a smaller story than we truly desire.
