In this life, we will have trouble. There will be battles, warfare, and resistance. This is one of the reasons I'm drawn to war movies. There's something about watching a story about good and evil that reminds me to take the territory that God has given to me. When we have a business calling from God, it's tempting to play small and not go into the territory he has for us. But God wants us to r...

These are all really exciting plans, but I know I need to hold them loosely. This past month taught me that when we are in a season ...
God designed Men and Women to be different and that’s true when it comes to how we are wired in business! As wise women, we can look to each other in business and learn from each other.

Friend, when you are stuck there is zero growth! As my friend Steven Furtick says, God can't do anything with a parked car. Doing is moving. A week or so ago, I was out for a walk and The Lord gave me a word to share with you. He said to me, "this is what happens to people in life and business. They get stuck and things are stagnant." God never designed for us to stay stuck. We are supposed to ...

When you become an entrepreneur, words matter. A lot of times it's just you, so you need to be your biggest cheerleader instead of your biggest critic. Lately, I've heard several of my coaching clients say, "I'm drowning, I'm on the struggle bus, I'm so far behind, etc". It grieves my heart because the bible says that life and death are in the power of the tongue. That's why it's much easier fo...

The Lord is showing me over and over again the importance of taking a stand, especially as a Mom. It can be hard to take a stand and keep our mouths shut instead of sharing our opinions. There are three main reasons why it is hard to take a stand. It feels vulnerable, people might disagree with us publicly, or we might be "canceled." All of those reasons come back to fear. And the root of fear ...

Do you need to pivot your business? After years of coaching thousands of business owners, I get to see the behind-the-scenes of many businesses. One of the things I've noticed is a lot of entrepreneurs go into business for the freedom of their time. No one gets to be the boss of us, can I get a yes and amen!?! But after several years, I see these same business owners hating the business that th...
Sometimes it takes going through something hard to find a new level of compassion than what you had before. My hair loss is a perfect example of that!

When I think about the last couple of weeks with Jason's ...
It hurts my heart to see people spend so much time in energy into building their business, only to not launch their product, membership, or blog.
