Monetize Your New Online Business With These 3 Simple Offers

You’ve got an online business and you’d love to be making money, but you’re not sure how (or when) that can happen. You may even think that you have to wait until a certain point in your business to start selling anything, but you can actually start making money in your business even if you just started. 
In today’s episode, I’m going to tell you about 3 simple ways you can monetize your online business as a beginner. Whether you have a podcast, blog or Youtube channel, all of these options are great to start with.  
 
Feeling stuck when it comes to deciding how to monetize your business or exactly what you should offer? I’d love to help you come up some ideas for how you can monetize your specific business. To get started, book a free breakthrough session with me at www.mamawithacalling.com/coaching.

Bonus Ep: Should you have a faith-based business or not?

Today, I’m bringing you this bonus episode asking the question of whether your business should be faith-based or not. I’ve heard many women ask this question. As I was studying about the Easter story, the reaction of the disciples during the persecution of Jesus really spoke to me about this particular topic, and I felt like I needed to share it with you today. I hope this speaks to you and gives you clarity for your own business and if you’re being called to have a faith-based business or not. Fully stepping into that and saying “yes!” to what God is asking you to do is going to really give you peace in your business.

Be productive instead of just busy with this simple method of being a good steward of your time

Busy but not actually getting anything done in your business? In this episode, I’m going to talk about how to be a good steward of your time as an entrepreneur on a God-led mission. You’ve heard of being a good steward of money, but what about time? 
As moms, we don’t have a ton of time to spend working on our businesses so the time we do have must be used wisely. 
You know this business isn’t just a random idea, but a calling God has placed on your heart. Therefore, it’s important to diligently and efficiently work on your business.
But it feels like you’re working a lot yet your business isn’t growing and things are moving forward. 
God doesn’t give us more than we can handle. 
So how do you fix this and make sure you’re being a good time steward? 
Episode Highlights: 
Some big clues about the state of your time stewardship
Why shame isn’t going to help and how to shift your mindset to succeed here
Set up a simple time stewardship experiment with these 3 steps 
How God doesn’t just call anyone to do this
 
I really hope this helps you feel less overwhelmed and actually get more things done in your week so you can grow this business that God has put on your heart. I’d love to hear the results of your time stewardship experiment over on Instagram @mamawithacalling so send me a DM or tag me in your stories if you share about the results.

2020 Reflection and Looking Forward to What God is Doing in Your Business in 2021

As we wrap up 2020, there’s a tendency to think that 2021 is going to be magically better than 2020 or if we follow what the world is saying, then we’ll think that nothing good came of 2020. But we know that God can do good and amazing things no matter what the circumstances look like. As we come to the end of the year, it’s a habit to look forward to the next year and start planning and dreaming all of the things that we can do. While this is good and fun, I want to encourage you to really get your mind in the right place before you start all the planning for next year. Make sure you’re co-creating these goals with God and see where He really wants you to go. It might not be where you’ve got in mind.

Recognizing when God is calling you and how to say YES

In this episode, we’re going to talk about why you might not be fully stepping into the calling God has for you.
There can be a variety of reasons including not even knowing if God is calling you to start a business or not. When we aren’t clear on how God speaks to us, we often miss it when He does.
For others, you know that God has put something big on your heart, but you’re coming face to face with all sorts of doubts and worries around it. Whichever place you’re in, this episode is going to help you recognize that God is calling you (and how to see it), where you might be turning away from your calling, and how you can use mentorship and support to be in obedience to what God is asking you to do in this season. 
Special mention this episode: If you need help with figuring out what you’re calling is or how you can turn it into a business, book a FREE 45-min breakthrough session with me at www.mamawithacalling.com/coaching. Limited number of these!
Before you choose a business, you want to make sure it aligns with where God is calling you and not just another way to make money.

Stepping boldly where God is calling you (even if it's a whole new life and others doubt you)

Sometimes God will ask you to switch gears in life to be someone you've never been before. Always a career woman and now being called to be home with the kids. Always a work-a-holic and now striving for balance. Well meaning people around you might doubt the change. You have the choice to either get up and walk to let your old ways define who you are even though God is calling you to change your life by doing something you've never been able to do before. If He's calling you, then He will empower you. 
 
The story for this episode comes from John 5:1-9 CSB. 
 
Episode Highlights: 
Read the story of the healing at the pool in John 5:1-9
How this looks like the life of being called to pivot to become an entrepreneur
Doubters and how it can impact you
Choosing to get up and walk or not 
 
I hope this look at this story about Jesus asking a man that’s been disabled for 38 years to get up and walk encourages you as you face the decision to follow God’s calling or not. It might be scary or feel crazy, but if He’s calling then you should go.

Welcome and What's this podcast all about

Welcome to  the Mama with a calling podcast where we’re going to dive into what it looks like to have God call you to completely pivot in life from career woman to online entrepreneur.
Facing and overcoming fears comes with asking some hard questions around what it really means to become an entrepreneur and what it looks like to step out in faith and trust where God is leading you. 
This is why I wanted to do this show - to help you take a deep dive into these questions, the fears that come up, why you think the things you do and how to overcome those fears with truths from the bible mixed with practical tips based on how the brain works.  
On this podcast, we’ll talk about all things around entrepreneurship and what it looks like as a Christian pursuing this calling, mom life, productivity, and truly how to just keep going even when things get tough or boring or whatever comes up for you. The biblical insights that I use to keep myself going are things I’ll be sharing with you as well. You’ll also get to hear from women that have made the pivot from their career and how God called them to do that. I’ll also bring on experts in things like creating systems, the enneagram and more that will help you as you're on this journey. 
 
God’s calling you to something big and I'm here to keep you going so the world can experience what you have to offer. I can't wait to see how God uses you to make a big impact.
