Here we are in a new year! I pray you’re filled with hope and joy for what God is doing in your life and business for this new year, and today’s guest will certainly encourage you with her wisdom! That’s right, it’s the first Monday of the month and that means a new Hustle with Heart Entrepreneur Interview!

Last week we began unpacking Paul’s instructions for living in joyful obedience: the action that follows transformation through renewing our minds regularly. This week we’re on to the next two ways our obedience comes to life, one of which you may have experienced last week as you extended some hospitality around Christmas! The timing is perfect for this part 2 as we look ahead to the new year and begin putting our dreams, goals and action plans on paper. Let’s see what guidance Paul has for us ...

Ever read a book or attend a training and “feel” transformed, but never really put the lessons into action to establish long term habits? Yep, me too! What’s missing in our transformation to pursue success God’s way is often the action we don’t take. This might sting a little but let’s just call it what it is: disobedience to His direction to follow through. How can we be more obedient in our businesses and do so with joy? What does this mean for our Hustle with Heart journey? Let’s find out tog...

Ever feel like all your action is seemingly small steps, and you can't see where they're leading to "meaningful" outcomes? If we look at our steps through our human eyes, we can't see the power in them. But when we view them through the lens of pursuing success and outcome God's way, we begin to see that every small step is a ripple! Zechariah 4:10 tells us not to despise small beginnings, and as pastor Craig Groeschel says, "Small disciplines done consistently lead to big results over time." I ...

Here we are at the end of November already - the Monday after Thanksgiving, with 31 more days left to this year. And let's face it, 2020 has not lived up to the hype! Still, I believe there are silver linings to be found IF we are willing to surrender our I-sight for God's insight and look for where He's created beauty from ashes in our lives and businesses. This week we're going to S-T-R-E-T-C-H our minds beyond what we can see, and challenge ourselves to recognize and give glory for the things...

“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose...if you aced the test...if you (fill in the blank), as long as you did your best.” Anyone remembering the parent, coach or teacher that told you that? What we know beyond a shadow of a doubt is God loves us no matter what, and excellence honors God. So while this agreement may seem like a no brainer, and the enemy would love nothing more than to get us tangled up in doubt about whether we actually did our best, the bottom line is we get to decide what is tr...

You know what they say about assuming...I’ll let you finish that one in your head! How often do we make assumptions? Assumptions about what people think of us. About what people meant by what they said. About how someone else feels or how they operate in the world. About someone’s background or experience. “Opportunities” for assuming are all around us, but we have a choice not to make assumptions. And with practice, we can change that habit. This week we’re continuing the four-part series on Th...

What do you take personally? Before you chastise yourself for this, give yourself some grace and realize that awareness of taking things personally is the first step to change! I am aware that I take people’s opinions personally and I have been known to get defensive at the slightest hint of someone questioning why I do something (just ask my husband). Who else is willing to fess up, take a deep breath and share with us? Comment below or share on my FB page @thehustlewith heart coach This week w...

This month’s guest on the HwH Entrepreneur Interview series is author, award-winning TV show and podcast host, and former Fortune 100 Executive Kelly T.

The Holy Spirit took us in all kinds of directions in this convers...

Ever have a book on your shelf for a while (maybe years?) that you just hadn’t gotten around to reading? Or maybe you started reading it but partway through, realized you just couldn’t get through it - sometimes the timing simply isn’t right yet. I feel you! I decided to bring one of those on vacation with me, and this time, the words flowed. That book is The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, and applying the truth of scripture with a business lens to it is what the Holy Spirit led me to share...

Well, it’s official. Q4 2020 is upon us, and by now it’s worn out to say it, but I’m saying it: 2020 is not what we thought it would be when we made our plans January 1! 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 unsurpassed peace to us God-centered entrepreneurs (and can bring peace to those seek...

Recently my friend Nikki posted this quote on social media: "Be so rooted in your being that nobody's absence or presence can disturb your inner peace." That immediately brought this to my mind: "Know YOUR roots and yield YOUR fruit!" Yes, "YOUR," capitalized, because it's YOURS and not anyone else's. Know in WHOM you're rooted and by WHOM your fruit is designed, which is all about anchoring our identity in Christ! I know I say it every week, but I can't wait to hear about how today's episode im...

In my conversations with fellow God-centered entrepreneurs, I hear the common ground that we all want to build a business that honors God and serves His people, and we have faith that if we are fully surrendered and obedient on this Hustle with Heart journey, we will make great impact. However, I also hear of the ongoing personal development through books, training courses, etc. that we don't seem to be applying because we're not taking action in applying what we learn! Or worse, we're not takin...

Ever attend an event for the first time where you know no one, and then a conversation over lunch turns into a friendship? That’s exactly how I met our guest, @ashleylorrainetaylor on this installment of the HwH Entrepreneur Interview Series! We met at the @proverbs31ministries She Speaks 2019 conference, and as I’ve followed her on social media, I’ve seen her share beautiful breakthroughs and vulnerable challenges with a bravery that inspires me! Ashley is on a mission with her @sheisfreemoveme...

Do you feel stubborn sometimes on your Hustle with Heart journey, thinking it’s not worth the consistent work to pursue success God’s way? Ever look around at the “rest of the world” doing their own thing (driving and striving, making it happen) and think “WHY am I doing this?” I feel you! Let’s take a look at what scripture says about WHY let God guide our business path: WHY that’s what He wants, WHY it’s worth it, and WHY He knows best! Reference verses: Jeremiah 29:11 and Ephesians 2:10 Prove...

“There is a famine for the Word in our world,” said @stevenfurtick on the @elevationchurch podcast entitled “Thought Bubbles” (my paraphrase). And that got me thinking...how is that famine showing up in business? How can we, as God-centered entrepreneurs, feed people through love, not judging and working for the Lord and not for man? Jesus’s Word has food for us! Can't wait to see your comments on this one! Reference verses: John 13:34 and 15:12 Matthew 7:1 1 Peter 3:8 Romans 8:31 Ephesians 6:7 ...

Ever feel like God has given you multiple paths or roles to fulfill in business, and you're not quite sure how it all fits together? I feel you! Our guest on this installment of the HwH Entrepreneur Interview Series is my friend, faith mentor, and fashion stylist/speaker Laverne Franklin-Jones. Together we unpack how we hear from God so we can take His direction, how we "balance" the multi-faceted creations He made us to be, and how to do it all with love and grace for His glory! Please show Lav...

As God-centered entrepreneurs, 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 ...

Recently, while working through Dr. Carolyn Leaf's 21-Day Brain Detox, I came face to face with a toxic thought I didn't even know was lurking in there: without wealth, I can't make significant impact. I was shocked this was even in my brain, because I know (while money is a vital currency in life), making an impact is not specific to money. This led me to scripture to identify foundational verses for making an impact and what that can mean in my business as I Hustle with Heart. I'm excited for ...

Very often I share excerpts from what I'm reading on social media, and often what follows are questions about what books I recommend for renewing the mind (Romans 12:2) and shoring up my Christ-centered mindset (which, BTW, we're designed to do by our Creator!). So this week I'm walking you through my 2020 Mindset Booklist, and sharing all the books I've read so far this year. God always amazes me in how He perfectly aligns resources for growing our faith foundation and breaking us out of our hu...
