“Once I have THIS, I’ll be satisfied.” Ever looked around at your business and thought “This is good, but it will be so much better when THIS happens!” Because more or better or a different direction is what gets us closer to fulfillment, right? Not by the Kingdom definition. Sometimes we’re rejoicing for God’s provision and searching for fulfillment in the achievements of business at the same time, and that’s like trying to drive in two different directions. See, God only meant for the achievem...

Fulfillment [ fool-fil-muhnt ] the act or state of fulfilling: to witness the fulfillment of a dream; to achieve fulfillment of one's hopes. the state or quality of being fulfilled; completion; realization: "Have it all! Go for more! Never be satisfied!" These are some of the things that the world insists we do to be successful. As an ambitious Christian business women, there is one key question to ask yourself as you pursue success and seek fulfillment: Do you know who you are and Whose you are...

Got a question for you: Are you willing to take consistent action even when it seems mundane? Even when it seems the seeds you plant aren't sprouting? Your answer may be a resounding "YES! But Erin, what exactly does consistency in action" look like?" Listen in as we answer that question on today's episode! And here's a hint: it's probably NOT what you think! Look at it this way: WWJD as a business owner taking action? (actually, maybe this should read "what DID Jesus do") He would (and did) put...

Raise your hand if you remember using an actual printed map (which once unfolded could never go back to it's original size)! Today that GPS is at our fingertips on our phone for ultra convenience, and when we go off track, it automatically redirects us. Except, of course, when we lose our cell service and everything goes fuzzy. Consistency in our business is like that too. There you are, rolling right along, doing the do, and your "connection" to the Eternal GPS (the Great Positioning Shepherd, ...

Ever feel like you get started with something and you're going strong, then your consistency wanes? Have you experienced success, yet the daily "do" is becoming monotonous? Last month we talked about commitment, and this month we’re taking that to the next level with consistency: how do we define it and follow God’s model of consistency, how does He direct us to be consistent, and how do we put it into discipline to develop and grow a Kingdom business.

"You always have two choices: your commitment vs. your fear." Sammy Davis Jr. Why are we so afraid of commitment? I mean, not ALL of us are I guess. But despite knowing that commitment generally means doing what we said we would do long after the excitement of starting it fades. And biblically means to trust God in any and all circumstances, and do what He's give us to do (even when it doesn't look the way we planned), I think our fear is the surrender of our way for His, right?! What I mean is,...

"It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through." @thezigziglar So far on the podcast this month we've learned: ✅ how God defines commitment, and that ✅ He directs us to be committed. And relating Zig's quote to this knowledge, we're out of bed, we've taken action and now it's time for follow through! 👉🏻How do we put daily discipline around commitment and protect our time to remain steadfast in our commitment to wal...

Does not follow directions. Anyone remember a teacher writing that on a report card? (or maybe you've seen it on your child's?) If you're a rule follower like me (OCD much?), this may not be an issue for you. Until...God gives you direction and you're thinking, "um, are you SURE it's me you meant for that job?" It's good to know we're not alone in that (how about Moses standing in front of that burning bush giving excuse after excuse as an example - Exodus 3), right? And last week we were remind...

As entrepreneurs, we've all heard the saying: "Commitment is doing what you said you would, long after the mood you said it in has left." And we'd all like to think that we're committed to God's assignment for our business, knowing it is one vehicle for administering the gifts and talents He's given us (as well as a vehicle for impacting the Kingdom). But...what about when things don't go the way we planned or how we wanted? Or when the outcomes seem to be taking too long or look different than ...

Based on the truth that no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith (including business), we finish up our series on the power of community to provide us the fundamental ABCs (and a D) we crave in building a God-centered business, and this week we're talking about Discernment. Do you have prayer warriors in your life? You know, the ones whose prayers seem so powerful and to whom you turn for that next level discernment? 🙏🏻 What about for your business? 🤔 Earlie...

This week we're talking about: Connection. Based on the truth that no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith (including business), we continue our series on the power of community to provide us the fundamental ABCs (and a D) we crave in building a God-centered business. We all seek it in our relationships and even with our clients. What does connection really mean? According to @wordhippo, it is a verb meaning: 👉🏻A feeling of understanding and ease of communi...

What does it mean to belong? According to wordhippo, it is a verb meaning: 👉🏻To have its proper place. 👉🏻To be accepted in a group. 👉🏻To be a part of a group. We all want to belong, right? Ever have your "tribe" but feel like you don't quite belong? Me too, friend. Me too. Especially when I surrendered my way for God's, and gave Him the reigns to teach me how to redefine hustle and lead me in pursuing success His way. In today's episode of the podcast, we continue our series on the power of comm...

This week we're digging into Accountability! Based on the truth that no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith (including business), we continue our series on the power of community to provide us the fundamental ABCs (and a D) we crave in building a God-centered business. How do we stay accountable to God’s assignment and the action He gives us to take? Is it possible to find people to help us do that, and to keep them around us? PS It's not too late to plan ...

In his Life Principles Bible, Dr. Charles Stanley’s Life Principle #28 is no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith. As God-centered entrepreneurs, our lives include our businesses, therefore, this principle applies to business too. Still, when I talk to Christian women in business, I find a gap exists in having a Godly community around us. We crave a community that provides what I call the fundamental ABCs (and a D) for building a God-centered business: Acco...

The Joy of Decluttering. The task of decluttering has been elevated to an art form...even a way of meditating on what brings you joy. What if our minds and our lives were a closet we needed to clean out to walk in God's will for our business, to stop trying to wear what doesn't fit us, and instead put on Jesus (and His strength and power) daily in our pursuit of success God's way? Imagine the freedom and joy that would bring. Imagine the SERENITY! Let's get to decluttering for His glory! Need he...

As Christian business women, we know our businesses are the gift from God, to be the vehicle by which we walk out our Kingdom purpose. Namely: love people as Jesus loved us and make disciples. It's through our businesses that we reach people we may never have otherwise met, and the results of our efforts are always to glorify God. Still, how often do we associate God's blessings with the "package" they came in? How often do we look back at how He's blessed us and expect blessings to only come fr...

I originally recorded this episode on Mother's Day 2019, and while a lot of time and chaos has passed since then, it remains perfectly timed for this week of Christmas! We're talking about being PRESENT over perfect, particularly for our family, ourselves and most importantly, present with Jesus...and the impact that has on building our businesses! Because in being present, we find SERENITY! (and PS, it ends a little abruptly but I guess that's appropriate for overcoming perfectionism, right?) B...

Right now, you’re probably reading all the usual “finish strong” posts and mantras for your business, no matter what business you’re in. And all that’s true. Still, in all that chatter, there’s something we can’t overlook. Something that brings us unsurpassed peace - serenity even. And that is this truth: The Lord is unchanging. Join us to take a look at what we learn from the disciples’ “fourth watch” experience with Jesus, and how this gives us faith as we close out 2021 with SERENITY! This ep...

Every business needs an executive board or board of directors/advisors, even us solopreneurs have mentors or business partners who help us stay focused to get things done. Every seat at that table is important – vital even – to our success. Having the right people in the right seats unlocks serenity...and that's what we're talking about this month! But are we giving God a seat at that table? And not just any seat, but are we making Him the head of our board? Because ultimately, it's His directio...

Does your clarity ever feel like it goes foggy or fuzzy all of a sudden? Or you've got things lined up and then BAM, you hit a wall of obstacles? Guess what...that's par for the course! Jesus told us we'd have trouble, and that He has overcome the world. Still, while we lean into His victory, the obstacles just stink! Even though we know they build our endurance and perseverance. This week we're talking about overcoming obstacles that fog up our clarity, and I've got some practical tips for you!...

"Personal development" is such a buzzword of business, entrepreneurship and success, isn't it? If you've been in business for more than 5 minutes you've been exposed to this. But how do we develop as Christian business women, and how does that development bring us CLARITY? This week we're digging into how this 4th key is all about ongoing growth, working out our salvation and Holy Spirit power, and how our development unlocks clarity to free us from overwhelm and overachievement!
