In this episode of Wisdom's Table, I dive deep into the often misunderstood world of budgeting, particularly from a Christian perspective. Many people view budgeting solely as a numbers game, but I challenge that notion by emphasizing that it's as much about mindset as it is about math. Throughout the month, we're exploring various aspects of money, and today, I focus on how to master budgeting supernaturally by inviting God into our financial decisions. I begin by discussing the common misconception that budgeting is about restriction. Instead, I propose that a supernatural budget is a tool for revelation and strategy, designed to align our spending, saving, and sowing with God's order rather than our desires or anxieties. I share my personal experiences with clients who struggle with the restrictive feelings associated with budgeting and highlight the importance of understanding the "why" behind our financial goals. Throughout the episode, I encourage listeners to invite God into their budgeting process, asking for wisdom and discernment. I emphasize that budgeting is not just about surviving financially but mastering our resources in a way that honors God and aligns with His plans for our lives. Let's connect outside the podcast!

Most gym owners love referrals — but what happens when warm leads run out? The real challenge begins when it's time to win over cold traffic.Welcome to the Gym Marketing Made Simple podcast — built for boutique gym owners who want to consistently attract members and grow revenue without taking on the full-time job of being a marketer.Episode HighlightsThis episode breaks down the reality of marketing and sales in boutique gyms with Josh Martin. The team explores Lasso's proven system for lead generation, nurturing, and conversion — and why success depends on consistency, follow-up, and mindset. From handling rejection to understanding conversion rates, this conversation is all about following a proven process that works.Key TakeawaysLasso stands for Lead and Sales System Optimization, a structured approach to generating and converting leads.Warm leads often convert easily, but cold traffic requires patience and persistence.A realistic conversion rate from leads to sign-ups is 10–20% — and that's perfectly normal.Consistent follow-up and long-term nurturing are key to turning cold leads into paying members.The system works best when followed as designed — deviating from it reduces success rates.Having an open mind to change existing methods is essential for growth.The “fortune is in the follow-up” — success comes from consistency, not quick wins.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:10 Challenges of Cold Traffic vs. Warm Leads05:26 The Importance of Following the System09:11 Handling Lead Conversion and Rejection12:11 The Role of CRM and Long-Term Nurturing18:17 The Importance of Sales and Follow-Follow-Up19:48 Challenges of Cold Traffic and Emotional Reactions22:02 Common Mistakes and Misconceptions25:12 The Importance of Data and Proven MethodsCall to ActionIf this episode hits home, follow the podcast and share it with a fellow gym owner who's ready to grow the right way.
