What does it mean to be the CEO of a business and how does it look for us as Christians pursuing a calling that God has put on our hearts?
You might be wondering if CEO even applies to you and it most definitely does no matter which stage of business you're in (even if it's just an idea at this point).
In this episode, we're going to talk about:
What it means to be a CEO
How that looks different as believers
Why you're the perfect CEO for the business God has called you to
Some key practices and traits that a Christian CEO needs to have (or at least be aspiring to have)
What really matters above all else
I hope this inspires and encourages you this week.
I've created a minicourse on having a CEO day with God to teach you how to step into that CEO mindset by aligning your business goals with where you feel God is leading you each quarter. Use the companion working and planner to keep you on track with the goals that come out of your session. It's a PDF so you can do it season after season and it grows with you as your business grows.

We might not want to say it out loud, but sometimes we find ourselves questioning if God is really working in our lives. As a Christian entrepreneur, you are looking for God to work and do big things in your business as well as your life.
But what about when we don't feel like He's working in our business?
This episode is going to encourage you in this area and give you some practical takeaways for seeing the things God is already doing right now in your business.
CEO Day With God is here! This course teaches you how to have your own CEO day with God at the center so you can align your business goals with where He's leading you. Use the companion working and planner to keep you on track with the goals that come out of your session. It's a PDF so you can do it season after season and it grows with you as your business grows.

You might be thinking that stress and worry are just part of being an entrepreneur, but they don't have to be.
Today I'm sharing tips from my own journey of living in a constant state of stress to living in peace and knowing that God has everything under control.
It sounds like a fairy tale, but it wasn't an easy journey and it is truly possible for you as well.
As you listen to this, I hope you'll be able to see how your own story may be similar and that there is hope to get to a place where you are ultimately at peace with where you are in your business and life. It doesn't mean no fear ever..but way less and it's a much better state to be in. And this is what God wants for you.
In this episode, I touch on:
Common feelings and signs of worry and stress
Why these might occur
The realization that there is a lot of truth in the Bible about worry and trusting in God to lead and guide us
How to start implementing this and actually know where God is leading you
Taking the first steps to live out this peace as you grow your business
To learn how to start doing your own CEO day with God and involve God in your business decisions, join me for a free live workshop Friday Oct 1st at 1pm CST. Just register at https://www.mamawithacalling.com/ceoworkshop
If you're catching this after Oct 1st, check out the in-depth course for how to have your own CEO day with God and how to implement this in your business on a quarterly basis using the provided printable planner. To learn more, go to https://www.mamawithacalling.com/ceoday

Ever feel like there's a neverending to-do list as an entrepreneur? If you're not careful, you can find yourself constantly working and hustling to accomplish all of those tasks because you feel like once you do, then you'll have "arrived".
But the truth is with each milestone you reach, you're going to want to reach for the next one.
This is a calling so it's going to last a while. Maybe even the rest of your life.
So instead of telling yourself that it's just for a season, how can you stop the hustle, stop stressing and enjoy your business while also enjoying your life and your family?
Today, I'm going to share how you can stop stressing and striving and instead find rest in what God offers.
Q4 is here! But instead of planning all of your business goals based on what you think is good or what the big coaches online are telling you, how about seeing what God wants for you and your business this quarter?
Join me Oct 1st for a FREE live workshop teaching you how to do just that by implementing a CEO day with God. In the workshop, I'll teach how I do it, how you can modify it for you and your style and you'll even have time to do some of it and ask questions.

Getting clarity is key to taking action and moving forward with pursuing your calling. It’s hard to start a business when you don’t feel clear on what your business should be or what God is calling you to do. The number one thing that clients come to me with is seeking validation that their business idea will “work” (aka make enough money, get money quickly, etc).
In today’s episode, I’m going to walk you through the process I would use with coaching clients to help you uncover the beliefs and thoughts that are really keeping you stuck in your decision-making so you can get the clarity you need. Without clarity, you can’t take action because you don’t know which way to go. This is going to help you get clear so you can make decisions that you know align with where God is calling you and you’ll feel confident in those to be able to move forward.
In the episode, I specifically talk about finding your calling or verifying your business idea but you can use these tools for any decision in your business.
We will talk about:
How mindsets and beliefs work
What’s a biblical mindset
How to find the thoughts that are getting in the way
Uncovering the beliefs behind those thoughts
Using the Bible and God’s truths to change our thoughts
Learning how to apply it all when it comes to making decisions for your business
I know you will benefit from the skills and techniques I teach in this episode. With these, you’ll be able to coach yourself through many decisions but you might also need to talk to someone to help you work through things.
This is where a coach comes in. I can help you uncover the thoughts that are keeping you stuck and help you shift those with biblical truths so you can get clarity and make decisions you are confident in so you can move forward. If you’re needing clarity in any area of your business or life, book a free mini session with me. Or if you know that you’ve got some stuff you want worked out and you want to get answers, book a 90 min Clarity session with me. Either way, I’d love to support you.

What should you do when it doesn’t look like you have enough to offer? You know you want to start a business, but you don’t feel like you’ve mastered anything worth selling or that anyone values enough to even buy.
You’re not alone in thinking this way, so today I’m reminding you what God can do with a little as we look at the account of Jesus feeding the five thousand. You might wonder how this applies to business, but I promise you it does.
I hope you’re encouraged by this mini episode as you continue to renew your mind while you’re pursuing your calling.

Ever wondered if you should start a ministry and leave your career to run it full-time? On this episode, I interview Martha Brangenberg from sheWorks4Him (and iWork4Him) about how she did just that. As she turned 50 years old, Martha was stepping out in faith with her husband to go full-time into ministry.
So if you’re ever thinking that it might be too late or should I really do something like that, then this interview is for you.
Martha brings so much wisdom and insight about so many things that are going to speak to you no matter which phase of your entrepreneurial journey you’re on.
We cover topics like:
How to follow God in creating a business to honor Him
Overcoming fear and doubt when following God in business
Leaving a career for this calling
Working with your spouse
Hearing from God (and what to do when you got it wrong)
Can you serve God with a business that’s not overtly “Christian”?
The role of money in decisions along the way
Deciding between a ministry and a business
I hope you’re encouraged and inspired by Martha’s story and seeing what it looks like on the other side of taking that leap of faith and following where God is calling. Hint: It’s not as much a sudden “leap” as we make it out to be most of the time.
To learn more about what Martha is doing, check her out at sheWorks4Him.com and see her other social links below.

If you're pivoting your life from one career to a whole new one as an entrepreneur, then you are all too familiar with the reality that those around you might not be on board with your choice.
So what do you do? How do you handle it when those closest to you don't support or even understand why you're wanting to leave your career and do this whole online business thing?
Today's episode launches a new segment of mini episodes meant to give quick doses of encouragement based on scripture wrapped up with a prayer to get your week started off right.
This week, we look at how Jesus faced opposition in John 7:1-9 and how we can be encouraged even today.

Today we’re talking all about navigating being a mom and an entrepreneur and how to create your own version of “balance” and what works best for you and your business (without going crazy).
I’m interviewing Shi Chen (business coach) and talking to her about her own journey from teacher to life coach and how she continued to grow her business as she became a mother and grew her family. We talk about everything from hiring people to which mindset shifts are needed to be able to truly show up for your business and be the mom you want to be.
More about Shi Chen
Shi Chen is a certified business coach, wife, mama of two daughters, and avid journaler. She helps coaches, creatives, and online service providers build a solid business foundation with simple visibility, sales, and leadership strategies so they can get fully booked with their dream clients.
The interview outline and details
Started noticing that a lot of her clients were wanting to start businesses themselves so she started focusing on helping them accomplish that.
Some questions and topics we cover in the conversation are:
How did you overcome any shame or thoughts about leaving a career like education that’s already so impactful?
What it looks like to start a coaching business in person vs online
How did you approach working on your business when you had your first child?
When did you decide that hiring people for your business was the right choice?
Deciding on putting your kids in childcare or not and how to decide what’s best for your business and family?
Were there any mindset shifts that allowed you to be confident in being both a mom and an entrepreneur?
Getting support from your husband as you run your business.
What has helped most when it comes to balancing your business and being a mom of 2 kids?
I hope you’re encouraged by Shi’s story and can apply some of these tips to your own life as you’re figuring out how to create a life that lets you do what God is calling you to do with your business and being the kind of mom you’re wanting to be.

Wanting to do what God is asking you to with your business, but feeling stuck? Maybe you know you should quit your job to be home with your kids and work on your business but you're too scared. Or maybe you're avoiding the next big thing in your business that God is calling you to do but something is stopping you.
This episode is going to reveal some things you may be clinging to that are keeping you from taking action in your business and stepping out in faith.
We'll look at Luke 5:1-11 and dive into the story of Peter and the miraculous haul of fish from Jesus. You will see how Jesus asked more and more of Peter to gain his trust, prepare his heart to do the task and to test his character, and see if he was willing to let go of all the things like money and pride in order to follow Jesus.
