Wondering if you heard God wrong about starting a business? Questioning if you’re really cut out for being an entrepreneur? Why do we think that if God called us, then the path is going to be easy?

This is something that I’ve heard a lot from clients. And this is an issue because if that’s the expectation then when things get challenging, you might think you’re not where God wants you to be. 

What if I told you that struggles that you’re facing are (likely) a good thing? 

In this episode,  I want to help you reframe the hard things that come with starting a business by asking the question: What if the hard things are part of the journey to develop your character for where God is leading you? 

I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.

Confusion To Clarity Session: Are you worried your business will never be successful? Do you lack clarity because you aren’t sure where God is leading you? Are you ready to stop letting fear hold you back and step into your calling with confidence? 

Then what you need is clarity. Clarity about what God is calling you to do and where He's leading you next in your business. 

But how do you get clarity? 

Usually, clarity is blocked by all of the mindset drama going on in our heads like fear, worry and doubt. With Biblically-rooted mindset coaching, we can identify the mindset blocks causing confusion and get clear on the next steps in your business. 

If you've thought about coaching, but aren't sure if it can really help you with the breakthrough you're looking for (spoiler: it can!),  then this is for you.

Have you ever wanted to just have someone to walk alongside you during a tough season? Or maybe you’re just wanting encouragement and wisdom from someone who’s been through what you’ve been through. If only they could speak into your life as you go through something new or hard, like starting a business or going through parenting for the first time. 

This is exactly what discipleship is all about. 

Today, I’m talking with Courtney Lowman from The Journey Of Ruth podcast about discipleship and how we can (and honestly, should) have discipleship as part of our lives in general, but especially as entrepreneurs. 

We talk about: 

• Talking about Discipleship and why women need it. 
• What is discipleship (and what it’s not)? 
• How to avoid prideful or ego-centric in discipleship
  • It’s not about making others like you but walking alongside them and leading them to Christ
• Setting up discipleship meetings based on your season and goals 
• How to get the most out of a discipleship relationship
• Finding discipleship opportunities 

I hope this conversation around discipleship inspires you to seek out your own discipleship opportunities. As you transition into the new calling of an entrepreneur while also being a mom, wife, and homemaker, it will help tremendously to have someone there to walk alongside you and point you to Jesus every step of the way.

Following God in business (and life!) means you have to make tons of decisions that could take you down a path you would’ve never chosen.

It looks hard, requires a ton of faith, and those around you seem to think it’s a crazy option - but you still know it’s the right option. 

But how do you have the faith to choose to follow God in that moment and not succumb to the pressure of the doubters and naysayers? 

It’s hard to make decisions that we know people will oppose or the decision means we will be doing something that’s totally against the grain of what anyone would expect from us. Still, we may have those who oppose our choices. These nay-sayers can come from good intentions (aka they think you’re making a mistake so they feel the need to help you) or bad ones (aka they don’t like you making big changes because it’s uncomfortable so they try to stop you with doubt). 

So how do you deal with opposition that often comes along with choosing to follow God? 

In this episode, I’m going to talk about 5 steps to prepare yourself to choose to follow God even when it feels scary because of the judgment waiting on the other side from your friends or family. 

We will be looking at Numbers 13:26-33 in this episode if you want to grab your Bible and a notebook to take some notes.

You want to follow God and do what He’s asking you to do in your business (and life).  

But to follow Him, you kind of need to know when He’s talking to you. 

But how do you know? 

In today’s episode, I’m going to tell you about a critical shift in the way you think during decision-making that will help you learn how to recognize God’s voice as He speaks to you in your life. 

This is really important for all Christians, but especially entrepreneurs. You want to know when God is giving you insight for your business, leading you in a new direction, etc.  

But I know it’s easier said than done but with this one thought shift, it can really be so much easier.

__________

Attention: Calling all moms pursuing their calling but you are overwhelmed, tired of hustling and stressing and you're ready to have peace by following God and actually enjoying your business and your kids. 

If that's you, then I'd love to ask some questions on a quick 15 min call. This isn't a sales pitch or anything. It's 100% for market research so I can learn how to better serve you all. 

If you're interested, email me at alexia@mamawithacalling.com and we will set that up. 

Thank you so much!

Today I’m talking with Lisa Appelo about her tragic story of suddenly becoming a widow with 7 children and how God ended up using this hard season of her life to fuel her calling to help others endure grief and hardships. 

In this episode, we talk about her story of loss and moving forward. Then we talk about how she realized that God was calling her to use this hard season to help others. We cover topics like being obedient to God’s call on your life (even when you would’ve picked a different option), the importance of niching down, blogging as a business model, and becoming a published author to reach and serve her audience. 

There is so much goodness in this episode!

So I really hope that her story inspires you today either from the perspective of someone going through something really hard and you don’t know how it’ll turn out OR as someone wondering where God is calling you as you see how God used a tragedy in Lisa’s life to actually be her calling in business and ministry. 

About Lisa Appelo

After going to sleep a happily married woman and waking up a bereaved widow and single mother of seven, Lisa provides biblical encouragement for all who grieve—whether over the loss of a loved one, a job, a dream, financial stability, etc. She now manages a community of writers and those moms who, like her, are widowed. And her calling is to encourage them. Lisa likes to say that the next phase of your life after unexpected loss is not God’s Plan B for your life, but the opening to Chapter Two.

As a member of Widow Mama Collective, a Facebook community for young

widows, she helps women find hope in the hard places of loss. A popular

blogger, Lisa loves seeing women flourish in the strength of God’s

promises. Learn more at  https://lisaappelo.com. You’ll also find more information about her latest book Life Can Be Good Again: Putting Your World Back Together After It All Falls Apart

If you’re finding yourself worried about having enough money, then today’s episode is for you.

It could be worrying about making enough sales to pay the bills, some sales to prove to yourself (and your husband) that this business isn’t a crazy idea, or if you’re worried about how you’re going to keep getting enough sales every month to keep this up. At some point, most of us find ourselves worrying about money.

But today, I want to talk about what God calls us to as Christian entrepreneurs. How we can and should have a different perspective when it comes to money and sales. 

In this episode, we’ll talk about what the Bible says about this topic and look at multiple examples. We’ll also talk about the 4 practical tips that you can do today to stop worrying about money in your business and start trusting God to provide. 

If you need more support in this area, I want to invite you to book a Power Hour Coaching session. This is where we will identify the root of any fear coming up for you around money and replace those thoughts with biblical truths so you can stop worrying and start trusting.
