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

I want to take a moment today to give you some actionable steps and advice during the crazy and bizarre event we are living through right now. We can either look for peace or let ourselves spiral in panic. I want to help you fight for inner peace. I hope these tips help you look at what you are doing and make any changes that might be helpful during this time.  Action Steps Grieve and get on with...

We are in some wild and crazy times right now. There are soooooo many thoughts and feelings and fears and frustrations. I just wanted to take a few minutes in my little slice of the interwebs to talk a bit about how COVID-19 is affecting small businesses and give you some action steps you can take. I know this doesn't solve all the problems, but my hope is that it will be a few minutes of calmness...

Times are pretty crazy right now and people are handling it in so many different ways. But one thing I want us all to keep in check is pain-shaming or playing the hardship olympics. There is always someone worse off, but that doesn't mean your pain or fear or frustration or sadness isn't valid. Often times, people just want to be seen and heard. Listen as I share an experience from my week where I...

If you have followed me for a hot minute, you know I am a firm believer of never putting all your eggs in one basket. When you use someone else's platform to sell your goods, you have to follow their rules and their guidelines. And when they make changes to those rules, you have NO option but to follow along—even if those changes make a negative impact on your business that you have worked so hard...

Sometimes the enemy can use distraction to take your focus off where it needs to be. However, I think God can also use something in our lives as a way to distract us in a good way. Right now I am doing a liver detox and have been very distracted by focusing on the health and wellness of my family. The blessing is that it has prevented me from worrying and fretting over my conference and book tour....

The last Equipped speaker I want you to get to know is Jordan Lee Dooley. I learned so much already just in this short podcast episode. I can't wait to hear what she shares from the stage in just a few short weeks. She started with a small Etsy shop while still in college with no plan to get to where she is today. She believes that you don't have to find your purpose, but instead, just need to lea...

So often what starts out as a hobby doing what we love, explodes into a business before we even know what happened. Then we are stuck trying to backpedal to make things right! That is why it is so important to get the business basics down right from the start and I want to help. Whether you are an intentional or accidental entrepreneur or maybe a not-quite-yet entrepreneur, this podcast is for you...

I just love it when God gives me a whole idea from something seemingly small like a workout move. I was trying to follow along with my Peloton app and was really making a mess of this particular exercise. Then the instructor said it was okay if we were struggling. She explained we were teaching our bodies how to recover quickly. Listen in as I unpack how we can use this concept in our businesses a...

The next Equipped speaker I want you to meet is Jami Nato. Jami's story and message have it all—infidelity, loving the Lord, learning how to use pain to grow closer to God, using your unique talents and gifts and key tools in your business and more. You don't want to miss this episode where we talk about all these and you don't want to miss Jami's main stage speech at the Equipped Conference. Want...

If you follow me on Instagram or YouTube, you know a few weeks ago I did some videos talking about how within 6 months I've lost half my hair. I am watching very closely what's going on with the Deva Curl products and have become very invested. First, because of my own personal health and second, as a business person to see how they as a company handle this storm. There is a lot for us as business...

Have you ever entered a password and thought you have it right, but it didn't work? Or, do you remember old padlocks where if you were just one tiny click off, the lock wouldn't open? I want you to think of what you have going on right now in life and business. Is it possible that maybe you have one thing out of alignment? Maybe there is one thing that you need to adjust and then everything else w...

This Friday I am introducing you to another new friend! Jaime Cross is has a faith that is so inspirational. Basically she asked God for a billion-dollar business idea and that is just what she got. But she first had to be faithful in the small like things, like spending a year learning how to make a bar of soap! You don't want to miss this great story! Want to meet Jaime and all the other amazing...

There are so many unknowns as an entrepreneur—truly things we have no control over. I want to talk today about really focusing on the things we DO have control over in an effort to protect our businesses. These are 4 areas that I want you to assess and make sure you are doing everything you can to keep your business and revenue safe. There is no need to let these things go a day longer when there...

I have seen something several times lately that I am not okay with. It is people using someone's faith as a way to guilt or shame them into doing something. This form of manipulation should not be tolerated. It is not okay, and I want to give you permission to not be taken advantage of in this way. Instead, know what the Bible says and let that be what guides your decisions in life and business. W...

You know how sometimes you just don't know what you don't know?!? Well, there were certainly quite a few things I didn't know when writing my book, Fear Is Not the Boss of You.  And because I want to help a sister out, I am giving you a peek behind the curtain to the 3 things I wish I had known before I started this process. I am also dishing out this history of how this whole dream started for me...

In the last few weeks, I have come across several women who are using their faith as an excuse to not grow their businesses and not have boundaries in their businesses. I am all for giving things away, like this podcast. But if you are not ever making money, it is a service or a ministry you are providing, not a business. Just because you love Jesus, does not mean you are to give everything away f...

For the next few Fridays, I will be introducing some new friends—the emcee and speakers for my Equipped Conference! We are starting off with the emcee, Kelsey. Not only does she have some of the best curly hair EVER, she is also hilarious. In fact, her official, self-proclaimed job title is motivational comedian. Kelsey has a great story, loves the Lord, and is a super-smart businesswoman too. Let...

I am actually not only giving the content ideas, but also some how-to on implementing! Social media is always changing and I want you to be in the know!

Have you ever noticed that the enemy is just waiting for you to gain momentum and get the courage to do something you know God wants you to do, only so he can put a stop to it? He will steal, kill, and destroy using discouragement! You need to be wise enough to recognize when this happens. You also need a strategy and an arsenal to not let the discouragement win. One of the best ways I have found...

I absolutely love any time I get to interview my students and coaching clients who are killing it in the online space. I feel like such a proud mama. Stacey's interview definitely did not disappoint! Stacey has gone from a prisoner of her garage, only making money when she was painting furniture, to a happy, successful business owner who is passionate about what she is doing and has found freedom...

If you think you are ready for what is next in your business, here is a big hurdle you need to overcome—you cannot be scared to sell! Unfortunately, some of us (mostly women) attach our personal worth to our sales. Instead, we need to look at the data, make adjustments, and move on from each selling experience. We need to get a deep conviction that what we are selling has value, and it is our duty...
