Podcasts about finish strong

How you finish matters just as much as how you start. In this episode of the Next Level Leaders Podcast, Dr. Joseph Walker III challenges leaders to stop celebrating strong beginnings while neglecting strong endings. Every assignment, season, and opportunity deserves your best effort all the way to the finish line.You'll discover why so many leaders lose momentum before the work is complete, how distractions quietly derail progress, and what it takes to maintain the discipline, focus, and excellence required to fulfill every assignment with integrity.If you're feeling tired, stretched, or tempted to settle for "good enough," this conversation will help you regain your focus, renew your motivation, and finish with the same passion you started with.Your legacy is not determined by how you begin. It's defined by how you finish.

"To be highly effective and be a true Chief, you actually have to work at three levels: your level, the level below you and the level above you." Chief, in today's Minisode I walk you through the concept of leading at the right level, and why it's so crucial to building a track record that will supercharge your career progression. One of the conversations I have regularly with Heads of Talent, Heads of HR and CEOs is whether someone is really operating at the level their role requires. Understanding these levels will also help you build high-performance teams because you can become much clearer about what level of leader a particular role - and therefore the business - actually needs.

" Value is not always profit; it's the outcome the organisation is designed, funded, trusted or judged to produce. And if your track record aligns to that, the more valuable you become." Chief, in today's Minisode I run you through the various ways organisations create value for their various stakeholders. In today's world, I believe that many have become distracted from the  actual core role of being a Chief, which is to create value and to protect value, depending on the kind of organisation you work for. Today, I walk you through the above and why understanding it is so important for your career momentum - whether as an owner, founder, leader, board member or shareholder.

This week we'll be studying 2 Peter 3:10-18 under the theme “Don't Drift. Finish Strong.” This world won't last, and drifting is always a danger, but Jesus holds us securely and grows us in grace so we can finish strong.Series Summary: In a confusing and compromised world, you don't drift into faithfulness — you fight for it. The apostle Peter knew that believers are constantly tempted to forget what they know, become distracted by false ideas, and grow spiritually dull. Yet God has given us everything we need to stand firm in Christ. In this series, "Stay Sharp," we'll rediscover the truth that strengthens our faith, exposes deception, renews our hope, and keeps us watchful until the day Jesus returns.Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

After nine incredible weeks together, Holy Girl Summer may be coming to an end—but your journey is just beginning. Throughout this series, we've explored what it means to become the woman God created you to be by discovering your spiritual gifts, growing in obedience, and learning to steward what He's entrusted to you. But knowledge without action doesn't produce transformation. In this final episode, we're celebrating every woman who listened, leaned in, prayed, reflected, started something new, or simply took one faithful step forward. As Zechariah 4:10 reminds us: "Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin." Sometimes we think God is only pleased with the finished product. But Scripture tells us He rejoices when we simply begin. In this episode, you'll be encouraged to celebrate your progress, trust God with the small steps, and remember that faithfulness—not perfection—is what He asks of us. ✨ You'll also be challenged to complete one powerful sentence: "Because of Holy Girl Summer, I will..." This simple declaration is your opportunity to move from inspiration to implementation and to commit to one intentional next step in your walk with Christ. Whether you're beginning a new ministry, serving in your local church, strengthening your prayer life, or using your gifts in your home, workplace, or community, this episode will encourage you to keep saying "yes" to God's calling. Thank you for spending your summer with me. My prayer is that this series has helped you discover not only how God has gifted you, but also the courage to use those gifts to glorify Him and serve others. Remember, the best is still yet to come!  Keep taking your next faithful step. DOWNLOAD THE SPIRITUAL GIFT ASSESSMENT

Want to finish the year strong, grow your business, and make the second half of the year your most successful yet? In this episode of SoTellUs Time, Trevor and Troy share a practical midyear business strategy to help entrepreneurs regain focus, eliminate distractions, improve execution, and achieve their most important goals before December. Most business owners begin the year with ambitious goals, detailed plans, and plenty of motivation. Then reality takes over. Employee problems, customer demands, unexpected challenges, emails, meetings, and daily fires gradually pull your attention away from the priorities that were supposed to grow your business. Before you know it, the year is halfway over—and many of those important goals haven't moved. But the year is not lost. You don't necessarily need another complicated business strategy, expensive software platform, new marketing campaign, or AI tool. You may simply need to identify what's working, eliminate what isn't, and consistently execute the few priorities that will make the biggest difference. In this episode, you'll learn how to: ✅ Conduct an honest midyear business review ✅ Identify what is actually generating revenue ✅ Evaluate your marketing using real numbers ✅ Recognize the employees and systems producing results ✅ Find where your company is wasting time and money ✅ Stop chasing every new business idea ✅ Choose the three outcomes that matter most ✅ Turn large annual goals into weekly priorities ✅ Build accountability into your leadership routine ✅ Make small corrections before they become major problems ✅ Create momentum during the second half of the year ✅ Finish stronger than you started One of the greatest strengths entrepreneurs possess is the ability to recognize new opportunities. Unfortunately, that can also become one of their greatest weaknesses. There will always be another marketing strategy, AI platform, software system, business opportunity, or promising idea competing for your attention. The problem isn't that these ideas are necessarily bad. The problem is abandoning proven priorities every time something new appears. Think about your business like digging for water. If you dig ten holes that are each three feet deep, you may never reach water. But if you concentrate your effort and dig one hole thirty feet deep, you dramatically increase your chances of finding it. Business success works the same way. The second half of the year shouldn't be about launching ten more initiatives. It should be about identifying the few things that will create the greatest impact and executing them consistently. Those priorities might include: • Improving speed-to-lead • Increasing customer retention • Creating employee accountability • Generating more customer referrals • Making consistent sales calls • Improving online reviews • Increasing monthly recurring revenue • Reducing unnecessary expenses • Hiring and training a key employee • Improving profit margins If everything is important, nothing is truly important. Choose your "Top Three"—the three measurable outcomes that would make you look back on December 31 and feel proud of what your company accomplished. Then ask yourself every day: "Did what I worked on today move one of these priorities forward?" You can be extremely busy without making meaningful progress. Focus creates momentum. Momentum builds confidence. Confidence produces better execution—and consistent execution creates results. Your Finish Strong Challenge Block out one uninterrupted hour this week and conduct a midyear business review. Write down: Three things that are working well Three things your business needs to stop doing Three priorities that will have the greatest impact before year-end Share those priorities with your leadership team, business partner, or accountability partner. Review them every Monday, evaluate the results every Friday, and continue making small adjustments throughout the remainder of the year. A strong finish doesn't happen accidentally. It happens through honest evaluation, simplified priorities, weekly accountability, and focused execution. The first half of the year may explain where your business is today—but it does not determine where you will finish. That decision begins now.

What will it take to hear the greatest words a life could earn — "Well done, thou good and faithful servant"? Continuing the Finish Strong message through the parable of the talents in Matthew 25, Pastor Jim Scudder looks past the finish line to the judgment seat of Christ, where believers give account not for their salvation but for how they invested what God entrusted to them. With his own father's example fresh in view, he calls every believer to trade wood, hay, and stubble for gold, silver, and precious stones — and to finish strong. Scripture referenced: Matthew 25:14-30; 1 Corinthians 3:12-15; Ephesians 2:8-9

Are you ready?!Because this life is more than a journey—IT'S A RACE!And the Bible says, LAY ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT!Shake off the distractions!Break free from what's been slowing you down!And RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE YOU!You may have stumbled—but KEEP RUNNING!You may have gotten tired—but KEEP RUNNING!The road may get difficult—but DON'T QUIT NOW!Because we're not looking to the left…We're not looking to the right…WE'RE LOOKING UNTO JESUS!The Author!The Finisher!And the One who gives us strength to FINISH STRONG!Mt.

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry reflect on the halfway point of the year, sharing why now is the perfect time to revisit goals, eliminate distractions, and focus on the opportunities that create the biggest long-term impact. They discuss lessons from the viral "Yap Challenge" and why authentic, simple content often outperforms polished perfection, before diving into the importance of thinking 10X instead of settling for comfort, building passive income through the right partnerships, and challenging yourself to pursue goals that feel just beyond reach

Can I ask you something? How are you feeling about summer right now — like really feeling about it? Because if you're anything like most of the moms I talk to in early July — the answer is somewhere between "I love my kids so much" and "I am so ready for a routine again." And friend — both of those things can be completely true at the same time. Here's what I know about this exact moment in summer: the novelty has worn off a little. The kids have seen everything on Netflix. The snack requests are relentless. The house feels like it's in a constant state of chaos. And somewhere in the back of your mind you're starting to do the math — how many weeks until school starts again? For a lot of families that answer is only about six weeks away — because so many schools are back in session by mid-August. Which means fall is coming whether we feel ready for it or not. So today I want to meet you right where you are — halfway through summer, a little tired, maybe a little behind, but still with so much good stuff ahead — and help you do two things: First — finish summer STRONG. Because you still have six beautiful weeks and they can be really good. And second — start thinking about fall NOW. Because the moms who head into August feeling calm and prepared started getting intentional about it in July. We're talking about:  ✨ Why the summer halfway point feels the way it does — and why you're not alone  ✨ How to do a simple mid-summer reset so you can finish strong  ✨ Why starting to think about fall in July is the secret weapon most moms don't use ✨ What the back to school transition actually requires — and how to make it smoother  ✨ And how to set yourself up for an incredible fall starting right now This is such a timely and practical episode — and I think it's going to give you both the encouragement and the game plan you need for the second half of summer. So grab your iced coffee, take a deep breath, and let's dive in Quick Announcement  We have some fun things coming up this spring.    This summer I'm launching a brand new FREE co-working and planning call — and I would love for you to join us! Friday, July 17th we are having a Get It Done Planning Party, we'll get together to: Plan and map out our week ahead.  Check in on our goals and priorities.

Why shouldn't a cemetery make a believer nervous? Jim Scudder stands at his late father's grave to explain the confidence that let his dad face death without fear.

What if the second half of your year could be your strongest yet?   As we celebrate five years of the podcast together, I'm inviting you to a halftime conversation that will help you pause before pushing ahead.   Learn a simple midyear reset to reflect on what's working, release what no longer serves you, and recommit to what matters most.   You'll leave encouraged, equipped, and ready to move forward with confidence. Let's finish this year stronger than we started.  

What does it look like to finish well? Jim Scudder visits his father's gravesite and shares the story behind a final interview that reveals what real, unpolished faith looks like to the very end.

"When the Bible makes a claim, you can put it to the test." In this tribute message, Pastor Jim Scudder tells the remarkable story of his father—Dr. James Allen Scudder Sr., the founder of this ministry—who would have turned 80 this summer. From a University of Kentucky fraternity house, where a lost but religious young man was "living like the devil" while somehow pastoring a church, to a lonely creek in the Kentucky hills where God forever changed the direction of his life, it is the story of a man who put the promises of God to the test and finished strong. Featuring clips from the video series "Finish Strong" and the two simple verses that transformed everything. The question it leaves with each of us: are you on course to finish strong?

"Is your customer winning from using your product? Are they making or saving money from you? If so, how much and how is that measurable to your product?" In this episode of The Inner Chief podcast, I speak to Nick Lissette, Founder & CEO of Blackpearl Group, on Driving data into dollars, building human bridges in an AI world, and his "win or die" attitude.

At the end of his life, Joshua gathered the nation and did four things: he gave God the glory, reminded the people of the mission, called them back from idolatry, and challenged them to choose who they would serve. Finishing strong isn't about a dramatic finale — it's about faithfulness all the way to the end and passing on a legacy worth inheriting. The true measure of a godly leader isn't how he starts; it's who he's shaped and what he's left behind.

Frank Kern reveals the immense opportunity of "Offer Season" (October-New Year's) for business growth. Learn how a simple postcard helped a skincare clinic thrive and how applying the same principle—making more offers—can double your revenue, especially during the year's most consumer-driven period. Discover over 15 proven offer angles to skyrocket your sales! Why "Offer Season" Matters This critical time of year (October through New Year's) is when consumers are trained to buy. Businesses often generate 60-80% of their annual revenue in this quarter alone. Your income is directly proportional to the number of offers you make. Don't overlook simple strategies—step out of the day-to-day to see the bigger picture. Key Takeaways The holiday season is the peak time for consumer spending and business offers. Income directly correlates with the quantity and quality of offers made. Business owners often miss growth opportunities due to being too "in the business." Re-evaluating past successful offers (like Maria's "Hairy Scary" postcard) can yield massive results. Over 15 distinct offer angles exist for various holiday periods.
