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!

🎙 Podcast Episode Spotlight: Florida 1.27

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.

Habakkuk 2:2 says ****“And the LORD answered me: “Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.”

Your irresistible service offer is the vision that communicates how you will take your potential customer from their #1 problem to their #1 desire. When your service offer (the vision) is clear, your potential customers will pay for your service (will run with it).

Are you worried that no one will pay for your service after you launch your business? I know exactly how you feel. I’ve had my share of rejection, but I have good news for you.

In today’s episode, I’ll show you 4 simple ways to validate your service-based business idea before you launch your business.

According to research, the fear of failure is one of the reasons why people never start their businesses. Knowing if an idea will fly before launching helps reduce the fear that leads to inaction.

Don't let fear cause you to validate your business idea forever and never launch. The goal of validating your business is to find the smallest meaningful evidence that you have a viable business. One that solves a real problem and prospective customers are willing to pay for it. Once you get this evidence, it's time to launch.

I pray this episode transforms your life. Enjoy!

Today is the last episode for the series we started in episode 4 titled “Take the F.I.R.S.T. step: 5 steps you need to take to take to go from idea to start a business. I’m excited to explore step 5 which is the letter “T” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method. My "F.I.R.S.T." step method is an acronym I created to help you move from idea to starting a business.

The letter “T” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method is “Take The Leap”.

Let's do a quick recap of steps 1, 2, and step 3.

• Step 1: “F” - Find Clarity
• Step 2: “I” - Ideate with your “good example”
• Step 3: “R” - Research and Review”
• Step 4: “S” - Set Reasonable Boundaries
• Step 5: “T” - Take The Leap

The thought of starting a business always scared me. I had a million unanswered questions. I felt I wasn't qualified. I felt entrepreneurship was for extroverts and not introverts like me. I was also afraid of being responsible for other people's income. But deep inside my heart, I knew I was called to be an entrepreneur.

You’ll always be afraid to take the leap to start your service-based business. But you can either let the fear stop you or you can do what I did - Feel the fear and do it anyway.

The path to starting a business might feel terrifying today, but if you persist it will become your path to direct impact, freedom of creative expression, time/schedule flexibility, and ownership of your own work.

I pray this episode transforms your life. Enjoy!

In episode 4, I started a new series titled “Take the F.I.R.S.T. step: 5 steps you need to take to take to go from idea to start your business. In today’s episode, we’ll explore step 4 which is the letter “S” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method. My "F.I.R.S.T." step method is an acronym I created to help you move from idea to start a business.

The letter “S” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method is “Set Reasonable Boundaries”.

Let's do a quick recap of steps 1, 2, and step 3.

• Step 1: “F” - Find Clarity
• Step 2: “I” - Ideate with your “good example”
• Step 3: “R” - Research and Review”

It is easy to get burnt out doing the thing you love the most if you don’t set reasonable boundaries. As a mom, wife, and aspiring entrepreneur, you’ll feel like a joggler, juggling multiple balls in the air and praying that none drops.

Spending time to study yourself and learn what works for you and what doesn't work is priceless. I'm realizing every day that "One size doesn't fit all". It never has and it never will. The way you work is unique!

Don't start a business based on what works for someone else. Their life situation is different from yours and you never get the full story online. Take time to set reasonable boundaries that allow you to balance family, work, business, and personal responsibilities. Be reasonable with your boundaries. Don’t set boundaries that make it extremely difficult for your customers to transact business with you.

I pray this episode transforms your life. Enjoy!

In episode 4, I started a new series titled “Take the F.I.R.S.T. step: 5 steps you need to take to take to go from idea to start your business. In today’s episode, we’ll explore step 3 which is the letter “R” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method. My "F.I.R.S.T." step method is an acronym I created to help you move from idea to launch your business.

The letter “R” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method is “Research & Revise”.

Let's do a quick recap of steps 1 and 2.

• Step 1: “F” - Find Clarity
• Step 2: “I” - Ideate with your “good example”

The number one cause of inaction is a lack of clarity. Lack of clarity breeds inaction because you don’t know the next step to take. You become stuck. Finding clarity gives you vision, direction, and a roadmap that shows you the steps to go from stuck to unstuck. Finding a good example helps you find clarity. A good example is:

• Someone that is already doing the business you want to do or a semblance of it. This can be your spouse, friend, coach, social media influencer, etc.
• A resource/template about the business you want to start. It shows you the steps you need to take. The resource can be a PDF download, webinar or workshop, blog post, podcast, book, news article, Online Courses, One-on-one Coaching Programs, a 90-day mastermind, or an intensive program.

Your “good example” might not be a perfect match for your business niche. That’s where Research comes in. Research helps you discover any other specific information you need to launch the first version of your business. Research is ongoing so that get trapped in analysis paralysis. Revise the information you already gathered based on your new research and decide on the key components you need to launch your business.

I pray this episode transforms your life. Enjoy!

Ideation involves visualizing, conceptualizing, and fleshing out your thoughts on your business idea using your “good example” as your guide. Having a good example makes the Ideation step seamless because you’re following a proven model you’re not recreating the wheel.

In today’s episode, I start a new series titled “Take the F.I.R.S.T. step: 5 steps you need to take to take to go from idea to start your business. For the next 5 episodes, we’ll explore my F.I.R.S.T. step method. My "FIRST" step method is an acronym I created to help aspiring entrepreneurs move from idea to business launch.

The letter “F” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method is “Find Clarity”.

The number one cause of inaction is a lack of clarity. Lack of clarity breeds inaction because you don’t know the next step to take. You become stuck. Finding clarity gives you vision, direction, and a roadmap that shows you the steps to go from stuck to unstuck.

You don’t need 100% clarity before you start your business. You need Clarity as small as a mustard seed. Clarity is like faith or a muscle. The more you use the clarity you have to take action, the more clarity you get. Clarity grows as you take action.

I pray this episode transforms your life. Enjoy!

Hey Sis,

In EP2 of the podcast, we learned about the first thing you need to do to beat overwhelm and create time to start that business. Creating a daily system helps you take control of your time. You should listen to EP2 if you missed it. In today’s episode, we'll learn about the second thing you need to do to beat overwhelm and create time to start that business.

Spoiler! You don’t need a large chunk of time to work on starting that business or any other goal that’s important to you. Using the power of little pockets of time, you can form a new habit of showing up to work on starting that business.

We must learn to use the power of little pockets of time in a fast-paced world. “Slowly is the fastest way to get where you want to be” Sergey Faldin.

I pray this transforms your life. Enjoy!

Chichi.

Hey Sis,

Have you ever said these words out loud “I don’t have time to start my dream business”. Spoiler! You’ll never have enough time. In today’s episode, you’re going to learn about the #2 things you need to do to beat overwhelm and create time to start your dream business. I’ll start the conversation in this episode and finish it in the next episode (EP3).

Creating a plan of how to spend your time eliminates the excuse of not having enough time. When you create time for what’s important you empower yourself to achieve your important goals.

Everything is not a Priority! Take control of your time by prioritizing the important over the urgent.

I pray this transforms your life. Enjoy!

Hey Sis,

In today’s episode, I share 3 lessons I learned from building a 7-figure service-based business after a failed corporate career. Are you tired of ignoring the Holy Spirit’s nudge to start that business? Are you tired of feeling frustrated with a lack of fulfillment from your corporate job?

You might be in the exact same place I was 10yrs ago and you're feeling discouraged.

Get inspiration from my story and listen to what’s possible when you surrender to God’s way and move in the direction of His divine purpose for your life. You too can create remarkable results when you say yes to God’s way.

You can start by praying the prayer - “Father God, I surrender, submit, accept and embrace your divine plan, purpose, process, and timing for my life. Take me by the hand and lead me. I trust your way. Amen”.

I pray this transforms your life. Enjoy!

Chichi.

Do you feel called to start a business?

Do you find yourself googling ”how to start a business”, “business plan template”, and “make money from home”?

Do you daydream about your business ideas only to feel afraid and discouraged when your negative self-talk calls the shots again?

Hey Friend! I’m your host Chichi Ukomadu, a Christian Business Coach, Jesus Follower, and a seven-figure service-based entrepreneur.

I too felt I had a calling to start a business, but I struggled with a lack of clarity, self-doubt, and the fear of being a public failure. My lack of courage kept me stuck and stole my confidence, my joy, and my peace.

I traded my negative self-talk with God’s word and found the courage to start my service-based business.

A path that seemed terrifying to me, became my path to fulfilling my calling and enjoying God-sized fulfillment. I'm super excited to share it with you!

In this podcast, I’ll teach you how to:

• Streamline your focus
• Get clarity on your business idea
• Create your business launch plan
• Set up your business essentials
• And launch your sustainable and profitable business from scratch 

You’ll get tons of encouragement, godly wisdom, and accountability to grow in your faith and new business journey.

You don’t have to stay stuck any longer. With a renewed mindset and a clear plan, you can start a business that fulfills your calling. 

It’s time to partner with God and answer your call to create!

Lace your shoes and pop in those earbuds, let’s take the first step to start that business.

You’ve been freelancing for family and friends, and that business idea won’t leave you alone—but every time you think about making it official, overwhelm creeps in. Too many ideas. Too many options. And suddenly, you’re stuck again. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’ll share a simple 3-question framework to help you identify your best business idea so you can finally take action and launch.

We’ll tackle:

• Why overwhelm keeps you from finishing what you start
• The hidden reason perfectionism is keeping you stuck
• How to simplify your decision and move forward with confidence

God isn’t asking for perfection—He’s asking for obedience. Let’s clear the confusion and get you one step closer to launching the business He’s calling you to.

Hey Friend, Are you still hesitating to launch that God-given business idea? I get it! You're definitely not alone in this struggle!

In this episode, I'm breaking down the 3 main reasons why so many Jesus-led career moms stay stuck instead of stepping into their calling as coaches and consultants. We're talking about why you're undervaluing what you already bring to the table, how you're missing the goldmine in your professional experience, and why you're dismissing the very journey God used to prepare you for this moment.

Here's what we're diving into:

• Your everyday work skills aren't ordinary - they're your coaching superpowers.
• Those years of professional experience? That's not just a resume builder, that's your credibility foundation.
• That personal transformation story you think is "too messy"? That's exactly what someone else needs to hear.

I'm also sharing my favorite confidence-building exercise - creating an "Evidence Bank" that will help you see yourself the way God sees you. Plus, we're looking at Gideon's story because if God can use a guy hiding in a winepress, He can definitely use you!

Listen now, if you're ready to:

• Stop underestimating what you already know
• Turn your experience into your greatest asset
• Finally, move from second-guessing to serving

Your calling isn't waiting for you to feel ready - it's waiting for you to say yes.

Let's do this! 🙌

3. Surrender: Hand your plans to God and watch Him open unexpected doors.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why meditation is more than just quiet time – it’s a powerful business tool.
• How your internal decisions shape your external results.
• The surprising opportunities that come when you let go of control.

“Christmas is an experience,” and so is customer experience. Just as the magic of Christmas lies in how it makes us feel, the magic of your business lies in how your customers feel when they interact with you.

Here’s a sneak peek of what we covered:

• Why a CRM is more than just a tool—it’s a customer experience enhancer
• How an effective CRM can elevate your service delivery and wow your clients
• Practical ways to integrate CRM into your daily business operations
• The top CRM platforms every service-based business should consider

Key Takeaways: A CRM helps you:

• Automate onboarding and streamline processes
• Track the entire customer journey effortlessly

A CRM is only as good as the service behind it! Pairing the right CRM with excellent service delivery will make your business stand out and shine. 

I pray this empowers you to create a thoughtful experience for your customers.

Hey Friend,

This week, I had the pleasure of chatting with Danielle LaBonté, a branding expert whose journey to becoming a graphic designer is as inspiring as her advice. While studying art history design in Italy, Danielle had an aha moment while working on her thesis. She realized she didn’t want to write about artists—she was called to be an artist. That calling wouldn’t go away, and it changed everything.   As Danielle puts it, her professor was more passionate about her thesis than she was. That realization led her to do a complete 180—leaving her art history path behind and going back to school to study graphic design. Now, she’s on a mission to help others find fulfillment in their calling and build brands that tell their unique stories.   Because, as Danielle says: "Your brand isn’t just a logo or colors—it’s the story you tell and the connection you build with your audience. Align your business with your purpose, and success will follow."  

Here’s what we covered:

• The foundational branding elements you need from day one
• The impact of a professionally designed logo on client first impressions
• How to create a cohesive brand identity (think colors, typography, and style!)
• Whether a great brand guarantees success—or if there’s more to the equation
• DIY branding: Is it a cost-saving move or a potential risk?
• Practical steps to launch a brand that stands out and connects with clients

Danielle didn’t just share tips—she shared strategy. If you’re ready to create a brand that speaks to your ideal clients and sets your business apart, this episode is a must-listen. Hit play now and start building the brand of your dreams! 🎧

Hey Friend,

This week, I had the pleasure of talking with Crystal P. Sherrill, and her story is such an inspiration! After 17 years in corporate, she realized her gift for organization, strategy, and structure wasn’t being fully used. Feeling creatively stifled, she made the bold decision to pivot and start a service-based business centered around planning, operations, and systems. 🙌🏽

Crystal shared how hitting a standstill in her career turned into the breakthrough she needed. Her journey is a powerful reminder that when one door closes, the right one will open—if you’re willing to walk through it.

As Crystal puts it, “Sometimes we can over-spiritualize things… God is telling us to make a move, and we won’t make the move because we’re looking for confirmation after confirmation.”

In this episode, we dove deep into the operational secrets that can transform your business. Here’s what we discussed:

• The 6 critical areas of operations every service-based entrepreneur needs to master
• How to position your business for maximum impact
• Why processes and procedures are your secret weapon
• Practical strategies for building a sustainable, scalable business

Key Takeaways That Will Change Your Business:

• Your business is NOT about you—it’s about serving your audience.
• Start small: write one process per week.
• Don’t rush to hire until you have clear processes in place.
• Treat failures as R&D opportunities.
• Create clear boundaries and policies from the start.

Crystal also shared her FREE “6 Pillars of Operational Excellence” course—get it now at www.cpsandcompany.com.

Hey Friends, 

Life can get crazy, right? But what if those tough seasons you're navigating could become the catalyst for your biggest dreams? Yes, it’s possible—and in this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to make it happen.  

 

I’m sharing:   - How to create a business even when life feels overwhelming   - Lessons from my last 40 days of business transition   - Biblical wisdom for building amid chaos  

 

Here’s a sneak peek at the 4 game-changing strategies I covered:  

1. Be Still and Recognize God’s Presence     - When it gets tough, stay connected.      - You’re not alone—the Holy Spirit is right there with you.  

2. Replace "Work-Life Balance" for a Priority Mindset**      - Life isn’t about perfect balance—it’s about focusing on what matters right now.  

3. Create Small Pockets of Time to work on your priority    - Use just 15 minutes a day to consistently chip away at your goals. Small, consistent steps lead to big wins.  

4. Move Quickly When God Says Go      - When inspiration strikes, act on it. Don’t let fear or overwhelm hold you back.  

Sometimes your biggest breakthroughs happen in the middle of the storm.  

God has already equipped you to start that business—it’s time to step into it, even if life feels messy. You’ve got this!

I had the privilege of attending the UNRESTRICTED Conference hosted by Dr. Latanya Moore last weekend in Dallas, TX. My biggest takeaway was I cannot neglect my prayer life or time spent in God’s presence. The work done internally through prayer is what produces the results we seek externally. My second crucial takeaway was the importance of constantly coming into agreement with God’s word. As Kingdom Entrepreneurs, it’s essential to agree with God’s word through prayer.

In today’s episode, I share 3 scriptures you need to pray regularly as a Kingdom Entrepreneur to ensure your business aligns with God's agenda.

When you agree with God’s word in prayer, you trigger a divine process to fulfill that word.

During this conversation, I discuss:

1. Isaiah 6:10, Matthew 13:15
2. Ephesians 3:16
3. Proverbs 19:21

Key Takeaways and Lessons:

• Guard against spiritual blindness through prayer
• Draw strength from God’s unlimited resources
• Surrender your plans to God’s purpose

Tune in to learn how these scriptures can transform your business and spiritual life.
