Redefining Hustle: Navigating Success as a Christian Woman

Ever feel like you get started with something and you're going strong, then your consistency wanes? Have you experienced success, yet the daily "do" is becoming monotonous?   Last month we talked about commitment, and this month we’re taking that to the next level with consistency: how do we define it and follow God’s model of consistency, how does He direct us to be consistent, and how do we put...

"You always have two choices: your commitment vs. your fear." Sammy Davis Jr. Why are we so afraid of commitment? I mean, not ALL of us are I guess. But despite knowing that commitment generally means doing what we said we would do long after the excitement of starting it fades. And biblically means to trust God in any and all circumstances, and do what He's give us to do (even when it doesn't loo...

"It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through." @thezigziglar So far on the podcast this month we've learned: ✅ how God defines commitment, and that ✅ He directs us to be committed. And relating Zig's quote to this knowledge, we're out of bed, we've taken action and now it's time for follow through! 👉🏻How do we...

Does not follow directions. Anyone remember a teacher writing that on a report card? (or maybe you've seen it on your child's?) If you're a rule follower like me (OCD much?), this may not be an issue for you. Until...God gives you direction and you're thinking, "um, are you SURE it's me you meant for that job?" It's good to know we're not alone in that (how about Moses standing in front of that bu...

As entrepreneurs, we've all heard the saying: "Commitment is doing what you said you would, long after the mood you said it in has left." And we'd all like to think that we're committed to God's assignment for our business, knowing it is one vehicle for administering the gifts and talents He's given us (as well as a vehicle for impacting the Kingdom). But...what about when things don't go the way...

Based on the truth that no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith (including business), we finish up our series on the power of community to provide us the fundamental ABCs (and a D) we crave in building a God-centered business, and this week we're talking about Discernment. Do you have prayer warriors in your life? You know, the ones whose prayers seem so powe...

This week we're talking about: Connection. Based on the truth that no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith (including business), we continue our series on the power of community to provide us the fundamental ABCs (and a D) we crave in building a God-centered business.

What does it mean to belong? According to wordhippo, it is a verb meaning: 👉🏻To have its proper place. 👉🏻To be accepted in a group. 👉🏻To be a part of a group. We all want to belong, right? Ever have your "tribe" but feel like you don't quite belong? Me too, friend. Me too. Especially when I surrendered my way for God's, and gave Him the reigns to teach me how to redefine hustle and lead me i...

This week we're digging into Accountability! Based on the truth that no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith (including business), we continue our series on the power of community to provide us the fundamental ABCs (and a D) we crave in building a God-centered business. How do we stay accountable to God’s assignment and the action He gives us to take? Is it p...

In his Life Principles Bible, Dr. Charles Stanley’s Life Principle #28 is no Christian has ever been called to “go it alone” in his or her walk of faith. As God-centered entrepreneurs, our lives include our businesses, therefore, this principle applies to business too. Still, when I talk to Christian women in business, I find a gap exists in having a Godly community around us. We crave a community...

The Joy of Decluttering.  The task of decluttering has been elevated to an art form...even a way of meditating on what brings you joy. What if our minds and our lives were a closet we needed to clean out to walk in God's will for our business, to stop trying to wear what doesn't fit us, and instead put on Jesus (and His strength and power) daily in our pursuit of success God's way? Imagine the fre...

As Christian business women, 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"...

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 us unsurpassed peace - serenity even. And that is this truth: The Lord is unchanging. Join us to take a look at what we learn from the disciples’ “fourth w...

Every business needs an executive board or board of directors/advisors, even us solopreneurs have mentors or business partners who help us stay focused to get things done. Every seat at that table is important – vital even – to our success. Having the right people in the right seats unlocks serenity...and that's what we're talking about this month! But are we giving God a seat at that table? And n...

Does your clarity ever feel like it goes foggy or fuzzy all of a sudden? Or you've got things lined up and then BAM, you hit a wall of obstacles? Guess what...that's par for the course! Jesus told us we'd have trouble, and that He has overcome the world. Still, while we lean into His victory, the obstacles just stink! Even though we know they build our endurance and perseverance. This week we're t...

"Personal development" is such a buzzword of business, entrepreneurship and success, isn't it? If you've been in business for more than 5 minutes you've been exposed to this. But how do we develop as Christian business women, and how does that development bring us CLARITY? This week we're digging into how this 4th key is all about ongoing growth, working out our salvation and Holy Spirit power, an...

Ever wonder if it's possible to allow God to truly direct you? I mean like, literally, Jesus take the wheel! I get it, it's HARD to surrender control (especially for us ambitious women!), because what if it slows down our progress? Listen, Sis, God's got us, and throughout His word He promises to guide us. And when we let Him lead, guess what happens? We gain CLARITY! And that breaks the chains of...

Ah, clarity. That often sought, yet at times seemingly elusive state of understanding and freedom from ambiguity. We’ve all had it one time or another. And for us ambitious women of faith in business, it seems hard to hold onto or control. Like maybe trying to hold onto a wet bar of soap  The challenge with clarity is that, when we’re chasing it up and down the streets of worldly knowledge and def...

I am not a gardener or even good with growing flowers and I don’t know much about pruning times and all that. But I have felt the pain of God’s pruning, and I’ll tell you, it’s never easy but it is necessary for my development. Do you remember a time you could feel His pruning? The thing is, development is the best part of our Hustle with Heart journey because it means we’re growing. We’re applyin...
