Start That Business | How to start a business, Service Based Business Online, Freelancing, Make Money Online – Details, episodes & analysis

Hey Friend,

Welcome to the Start That Business podcast, where we help Jesus-led career moms turn their expertise into their first coaching or consulting business in just 12 weeks.

If you're a Jesus-led career mom ready to launch your coaching business but keep wondering, "Who exactly am I called to help?" - this episode is FOR YOU.

This is part 2 of my Business Book Review series, where I'm sharing 4 powerful books that have shaped me as a Jesus-led entrepreneur. Today we're diving into Nail Your Niche by Brian Ellwood - and it's a total game-changer.

Here's what you'll discover:

• You're called to serve a previous version of you. Your ideal client might be you from a few steps ago. This makes niche work so much easier and more spirit-led! (2 Corinthians 1:4 - God comforts us so we can comfort others)
• Choose clarity over being cute. Stop trying to "niche cute" with lots of fancy words and zero focus. Brian emphasizes outcomes over identity - what's the actual RESULT you help people get?

You'll get the exact formula I use to create my I help statement.

Plus, I'm sharing my own “a-ha!” moments from reading this book, which gave me clarity and helped me get laser-focused in my brand message.

By the end of this podcast, you'll have clarity, confidence, and a clear niche statement. You'll walk away with practical tools to discover who you're called to serve with Christ at the center.

I pray this helps you take action!

Today’s episode spotlight is on Florida 1.27 — an incredible nonprofit based in Tampa, Florida, on a mission to bridge the gap between churches and children in need.

Founded by Brian and Rachell, a couple whose own journey through fostering and adoption was marked by deep faith, real challenges, and a bold calling, Florida 1.27 was born from lived experience. What started as a lonely, overwhelming walk turned into a movement; one that equips churches to step into foster care ministry with wisdom, support, and Christ-like love.

If you’ve ever asked, “Lord, how can I help vulnerable children in my community?”—Florida 1.27 is your answer. They train and support families, educate churches, and share practical tools for trauma healing, all while keeping Jesus at the center.

To learn more about their story and how your church can get involved, visit Florida127.org or email Info@florida127.org. 13310 N 53rd St, #200, Tampa, FL 33617 | 813-563-5127

Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus—because together, we are more than enough.

Hey Friend,

You’re a Jesus-led career mom ready to turn your expertise into your first coaching business, but feel overwhelmed about where to start. You stare at your laptop thinking, "Where do I even begin with this business idea?" This episode is your breakthrough moment.

I'm breaking down Brian Tracy's Eat That Frog through a Jesus-led entrepreneur lens, showing you how to overcome procrastination and finally start the coaching or consulting business God placed in your heart.

You'll discover:

• Why doing the hard thing first is actually an act of obedience (not just productivity)
• The 80/20 rule for business startups—so you stop overthinking logos and start serving clients
• Your personal "frog" this week and how to tackle it in 15 minutes tomorrow morning

Stop waiting for perfection. Clarity comes when you move with God, not when you wait for it.

I pray this helps you take action!

Are you struggling as a Christian woman to put a price tag on my services? Are you struggling with inaccurate and limiting beliefs about money like “the love of money is the root of all evil”? Do you believe that Jesus Followers should give away their services for free? This episode is for you.

When you package your gift and present your gift, it becomes a prescription that solves a problem for your customers. The same way you pay for your prescription at the pharmacy is the same way the world will compensate you for your gift when you use it to serve the world.

Ecclesiastes 7:12 says “money is a defense”. Ecclesiastes 10:19 says “money answers all things”. Don’t be ashamed, guilty, or afraid to put a price tag on your services.

I pray this episode transforms your life.
