She's Equipt with Jennifer Allwood | The Christian Business Coach for Women

Today I want to share the biz tools I am loving lately. These are things that let me work smarter, not harder! The biz world has so many companies creating things to help with the online space that it can be overwhelming. I want to unwhelm you and give you the inside scoop on what helps me get work done so I can spend more time on the true priorities of my life. Also, head on over to my YouTube ch...

This week I was thinking of ways we measurement different things and I really focused on some of the ways we measure Christlike behavior. The Lord really spoke to me about repentance and obedience. You may feel like you don't know what to do right now. You are overwhelmed with all you see and hear on social media and the news. I want to encourage you to start by looking at your life and relationsh...

Friends!  If there ever was a time to have an online event, it's right now! The world is a bit chaotic and most states still have limits for gathering sizes, but people are wanting and needing to find a connection with others. Turning to use the online space for an event can help connect with people you otherwise wouldn't be able to. Use this time to try something like an online event to engage wi...

In the past few days, God has been using the messy times in the history of my marriage to Jason to remind me and teach me what I need to be doing right now. Jason and I have never come out of hard times without a lot of hard conversation, without gaining the other partner's perspective, without reflection, without looking at each other's point of view. But when we have done those things, we always...

In today's podcast, I chat with Cathy Heller about how she grew her multi-million dollar, successful business while having 3 small kids. She had a dream of songwriting and moved to LA to accomplish her BIG goals.  After getting dropped from her label, she needed to pivot to find a new path. In her new book Don't Keep Your Day Job, she can help you so the same thing. She is passionate about helping...

I want to talk about the value of retreating and reloading. Retreating can have a negative connotation, but it really can have soooooo much value! When you retreat you are able to find a new perspective and reset many things. This is has been a time of retreating for many of us. What does it mean? What will it change for our future? What have we learned? Subscribe and Review I am honored to show u...

You don't know what you don't know! But I am here to help. With world events changing the way we are now doing business, many more people are working in the online space.  Whether you've been working in the online space for a while or you've had to make a recent pivot, I want to give you some groundwork for success. Here are some things I wish I had known when I started in the online space. I hope...

Timing is everything. Even more so during this pandemic. Today I want to talk about God's timing. It seems to me that God's timing never matches my own. Anyone else? But what I have found to be true is that God's holy interruptions and timing that I always think is late turns out to be perfect. The problem is usually us. We are the ones that are impatient and not really ready. Let's unpack this mo...

Building an email list can be so powerful for your business. Emailing is a great way to engage with your customers and build the know/like/trust factor that is so critical. I don't want you to let your fear hold you back. Start consistently sending a weekly email! It's all about great content and developing a relationship, and it doesn't have to be "salesy". Remember, they subscribed to you becaus...

I know Mother's Day was last week, but today I wanted to talk about the importance of mothers modeling courage to their children. We outsource a lot of teaching—Spanish, horseback riding, and driving are all things I am happy for someone else to teach my kids. BUT teaching courage and showing your kids how to be brave is something we should be doing as moms. Listen is as we talk about not using ou...

In today's podcast, I am talking with the legend, Michael Hyatt, about his new book The Vision Driven Leader . Having clarity in your vision is important whether you have a large business, small business, and even for your family! Michael says it perfectly when he said, "Clarity accelerates progress toward the outcome you want." I hope you enjoy this podcast and can use these tools to help grow yo...

This week I want to break down one of my favorite chapters in my book...chapter 6 all about courage. The world craves confidence. Confidence sells and confidence is what people think is the key. But friends, I am here to tell you that what you really need is courage. Courage is what will help you take action. Courage will get you started. There is no need to rely on yourself and wait for confidenc...

With the world in such disarray, so many people are shifting the ways they learn, sell, teach, create, communicate, etc. This makes it the perfect time to start something new especially if you're the type of person that needs a fallback or excuse! Right now if you have a hiccup, blame corona. Getting started is always the hardest part! It is hard because you can be so easily discouraged by the suc...

I had a comment in my DMs this past week telling me what I "should"  and "should not" be doing as a business owner right. While I want to extend grace to and think the best of the commenter, I also want to take a few minutes and talk about those in our lives who may be telling us what we "should" be doing right now. This current situation is so polarizing and there is are many opinions. BUT there...

2020 will forever be the year of pivoting! Many businesses are making big changes during these COVID-19 times, but change happens all the time and it doesn't have to be scary. Sometimes we have a huge passion for one thing and create a business and then go into another season and need to make a change.  Pivots in business can be great and so powerful! Whether you are having to make a shift because...

As we go into yet another week of this pandemic, I see that fear is really increasing. When will we return to normal? Will it really be "normal" again? What will happen to my business? I want to pass along some encouragement today by giving you 2 things you can do to combat this creeping fear in. Let's take some action by focusing on what we can control in these seemingly out-of-control times.  If...

Using the online space for business isn't just for adults. Teens can benefit greatly by using their passion to create and grow a business. Kids now are being raised in this tech-savvy world that makes it second nature to use for it for business. Almost a year and a half ago my boys, Noah and Easton, started a fun shoe flipping project that has turned into a legit, growing business. Today's intervi...

I am seeing on social media lately what I am calling productivity shaming. There are those that are saying everyone needs to use this "gift" of time to be doing something big like losing weight or cleaning out your whole house. I have been reminded that God does not have all of us in the same season. Some of us are in a season of rest while others are in a season of running! We need to honor God b...

Some of you LOVE your free Facebook group and are doing amazing with it and I am so happy for you. For those that hate it, it's ok to let it go!!!  I'll say it again, it's ok if you no longer want the free Facebook group you once created. There was a time it was a great idea for every small business to have a free Facebook group, but things changed. Remember, no Facebook group is the boss of you!...

I was being interviewed recently and said that I believe crisis can catapult us into our calling. This was a new thought for me, but when I look at my life, I can see that big changes and shifts were often made in response to a crisis. I know lots of people whose businesses and jobs are doing fine during this time. But I also know many who have lost their jobs or had to close their business. I wan...

I want to give you a little gift. This is chapter 1 of my book, Fear Is Not the Boss of You . This book has been 4 years in the making and it is finally time to launch, even if it is in the middle of a worldwide pandemic. And maybe now is the time more than ever that people need this message about fear. Being overwhelmed, or stuck, or afraid does not have to be your story. There is a better way. L...

I have had a word in my heart and I think this is the right time to share it. There are so many things right now that are dividing us as a society. Politics, opinions on COVID-19 and how to handle it, and so much more. It is all causing so much division. I want to remind us all that the fight is not with each other. The real fight is between good and evil, and it will be waged on our knees, not in...

With so many cities continuing Stay-at-Home orders, many of brick and mortar locations are having to temporarily close their doors.  This is a very stressful time for those business owners and their employees, but I want them to know we are in this together and there's a huge community out there for support. This podcast is featuring Stacy Tuschl, The Queen of Foot Traffic. She shares how owners o...

I wanted to start this morning off with a little bit of hope and positive thinking. I want to take a few minutes to find the silver lining. Everyone has a certain level of loss right now. We are all grieving something, but we also all kind find at least one silver lining. What will it be for you? What is something good being birthed out of the uncertain, crazy times? Silver Linings Often what we t...

I am not sure there has ever been a time when being flexible and making pivots has been more important than right now. In order to sustain through these unsettling times and any other craziness that is to come, you will need to look past the way you have always done things. Instead, find a new way, go a new direction. I want to give you some encouragement and inspiration as I share LOTS of ideas f...
