Not doing the thing you know you should in your business? Feel like you're always stuck in the same area when it comes to starting your business?

As we approach the end of one season and head into the next, this can create stress. Sometimes we may not even realize why. Many times, it's because we're so busy with life that we don't realize we need to take time to process our thoughts, make decisions, and know what we should be focusing on.

Should we “craft a future” as Christians?

Today we're talking about striving. We often hear this in the entrepreneur space, and it's often used synonymously with hustle but they're different. (see more in Episode 87 -Listen on Apple ) Striving is when we are working hard with the mentality that if this is going to be successful, then I'm going to make it happen.

Do you ever feel like you “have” to do business a certain way? Maybe you're feeling a lot of pressure to create a course or start a membership or a podcast but it's causing a lot of stress and overwhelm for you. Instead of just pushing through those emotions, I want to invite you to listen to those signals. Maybe the reason you're feeling so much resistance around it is because it's not what God is actually leading you to do. Or it could be, but you've got the negative mindset drama going on that's keeping you from sensing how God is moving in your business. Either way, I'm here to help you make sense of why there's so much resistance and overcome those feelings so you can have the clarity and confidence to move forward with your business calling.  In this episode, I  use 3 simple thought exercises to help you process through if the business you're creating (or have plans to create) is actually coming from what others have told you or is it where God is leading you.  Knowing the answer to this can save you so much time, effort, and money but more than that, it will give you the peace of mind needed to run a successful business as a Christian.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.    ➡️New Freebie for You: Biblical Mindset Starter Guide for Entrepreneurs Stop letting emotions keep you from your calling.

Can I really hear God? Does He actually speak to me?

If you're looking for inspiration that God has a plan and that you can do hard things, then this interview is for you.  Enduring painful hardships as an Iranian woman, Lily Meschi found Christ and freedom from her arranged marriage. As a single mother, she worked up the ranks in her career finding herself successful and established. Then God called her to ministry with Iran Alive to help women find freedom in Christ as she did.  In this interview with Lily, you'll hear about:  Finding Jesus as a Muslim A Beautiful Redemption Story What to do when you're called to do something that you don't want to do Knowing when God is calling you and walking in obedience Iran Alive and their amazing impact on the Iranian people   I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.  More About Lily With a passion “to live life on purpose,” Lily Meschi serves in ministry for Iran Alive as the Director of Partners Relations. Through her own experiences as an Iranian Woman, Lily offers profound insight into the current protests in Iran for women's rights. Lily was born and raised in a Muslim family in Tehran, Iran.    At the age of 18, her family moved to the U.S. Through a chain of painful hardships relating to her rights as an Iranian woman, Lily came to discover Christianity. In her freedom found in her own testimony, she has developed a heart for Iranian women who, like herself, have undergone similar oppression and loneliness. Lily often speaks on the corrupt practices of arranged marriages of young women to older men in the Middle East, amongst other norms in their societies. She takes pride in working at Iran Alive Ministries, where she is able to speak about cultural dispositions such as arranged marriages and the strong grip of abusive male domination in the culture.    A few relevant points on the women issues in Iran:   The Islamic regime lowered the age of marriage for women from 18 to 13 in 1979 and then again to 9 in 1982 A married woman cannot leave the country without her husband's permission. Women are not allowed to watch men play sports at stadiums.  A man can marry up to four women at one time, but women can only marry one husband. A woman needs a male guardian's consent to marry Muslim women cannot marry non-Muslim men, but Muslim men can marry Jews, Christians, or Zoroastrians Women can only get a divorce in a court while a man can get a divorce simply by declaring it verbally and not even necessarily in their presence. The Islamic republic mandated wearing a head covering- hijab in public. Violators face punishments that include up to two months in prison, fines up to 5 Million Rialss, and up to 74 lashes.

While you may know that, you might also be resisting doing the mindset work because it feels too hard or maybe you're not sure it's actually that important.  So as you're thinking about diving into mindset work or you're already doing it, I wanted to share 3 key benefits of doing the hard mindset work as an entrepreneur to encourage you today.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.

We've all been there. You're on one path that you feel like you've been called to do and then as you're on that path, you feel led to go down a different path. And here's where the hard part comes. What do you do in that moment when you feel led to go a different direction?  It's so easy to dismiss it and say it's a distraction from the original direction God was leading you down. It's also easy to start the whole mindset drama where you're asking “Is it really God or is it the enemy or is it just what I want to do?” All of these are valid questions and definitely things you should pray about in a situation like that.  But I want to encourage you to also think about an alternative. What if this is exactly where God is leading you and He wants you to go on this journey because it'll ultimately lead to Him getting the glory in a way that you can't even imagine? Today on the podcast, you'll get encouragement for how to approach it when you feel like you're wanting to pivot (again) and you're not sure what to think about it.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.

If things aren't going well in your business, it can be easy to start questioning if you heard God right in the first place. Did He really call you to start a business? If He did, wouldn't it be working by now?  But in reality, this isn't how things work. Just because God calls us to do something doesn't mean the path there is smooth sailing.  Today I want to talk to you about how to keep going in your business even when it doesn't feel like it's ever going to work. We're going to be looking at the journey between David's anointing to be king and him actually becoming king. There is encouragement in this story to endure the wilderness season you may be in with your own calling.  I hope you're encouraged by this episode and that you continue shifting your mindset toward Jesus so you can do all that He is calling you to do.
