Doing Business Gently - Online Business, Work From Rest, Midlife Christian Women, Aligned Business

Welcome back to another episode of The Selah Entrepreneur! I'm your host, Marta Goertzen, and today we're diving deep into the four steps of The PACE Method (TM) to finding clarity in your business.

In a world filled with busyness and constant hustle, it's easy to believe that resting and saying no to opportunities is lazy or wrong in business. But what if I told you that slowing down, pausing, and taking time to rest and think could actually be the key to unlocking business clarity?

I know, it might sound a bit terrifying at first. Busyness wants us to stay in fear and constant action, convincing us that everything is important and urgent. But what if I told you that by pausing and creating space, you can tap into critical and strategic thinking and gain a clearer perspective on your business? 

That's where The PACE Method comes in. 

In our last episode, I gave you an overview of this powerful four-step cycle that can guide you towards finding the clarity you've been searching for. Today, we're taking a closer look at each step and how it can transform your entrepreneurial journey.

So, if you're ready to take charge of your business clarity and become a proactive and strategic leader, this episode is for you. 

Remember, clarity starts with taking breaks, resting, and creating space for reflection.

It's time to embrace the Selah mindset and rethink the speed of your life and business.

Stay tuned as we dive into The PACE Method and guide you on your journey from confusion to clarity.

And, as always, if you need some extra support in finding clarity and implementing The PACE Method, or if you simply want to work from a place of rest, I'm here to help. Schedule a clarity call at https://SelahStudios.co/discovery and let's create a plan that will lead you towards the clarity and success you deserve.

Let's get started and find that business clarity together on The Selah Entrepreneur!

Are you feeling stuck looking for clarity in your business?

When we are seeking clarity in our business and what we feel called to do, we have this desire to sprint to the finish line and get to the answer fast. 

Hate to break it to you, but that’s now how clarity comes. You will have major breakthroughs and oh wow moments along the journey, which are truly fun and energizing. And fun to share, I might add! The journey of clarity, however, comes through time, effort, thinking, prayer, and seeking wise counsel. 

Instead of sprinting to the finish line in search of an answer, think of this more like a marathon. You set a pace that works for you so that you are on this entrepreneurial journey for the long-haul and not burning yourself out. 

In your journey to clarity, you need to set your pace (aka run your race) because there is work to do along the way. If you are running too fast, you will simply skim the surface. Skimming makes you miss the questions and the opportunity to dig deep for answers that can change you, your life, and your business. 

Today, I’m excited to share with you to my “PACE MethodTM to Business Clarity.” 

The clarity cycle includes:

• P is for Pause

Listen in and learn how to apply my PACE MethodTM to your clarity journey.

Clarity is a journey, especially for creative women like us that have a lot of interests, love bright shiny new ideas, and love to learn. It’s not a process that should be rushed, know that you are on a journey that involves learning along the way. 

Clarity comes and phases and layers and it comes through taking action not by sitting on the sidelines waiting for lightning bolt answers. 

Let’s dive into what clarity means, how to find clarity for your online business, what to do with it, and more.

Welcome! To the very first episode. Today we’re taking a look at the word Selah.

Why does it apply to entrepreneurship?

Why do we need to become rested entrepreneurs?

Why do we need to learn to work from a place of rest?

And we’re going to look at the word Selah itself, its origin and meaning.

As women over 50, we have a unique perspective on life and what business can be as we balance life, caregiving, home, and business. Adopting a Selah Mindset that looks at rest, mental health, and managing stress and anxiety while running our businesses helps us identify the lies that busyness throws at us.

Here on the The Selah Entrepreneur podcast, my goal is to help you find ways to get unstuck in your business, cut through all the noise of conflicting advice, get clarity about your online business, and learn ways to reduce the stress and overwhelm you feel as you try to take care of your family, your health, your clients, and your business.

Hi, I’m Marta Goertzen, entrepreneur and online business owner since 2008. I’m also a dog mom, fibro fighter, photographer, and caregiver. As a multi-passionate entrepreneur, it took me years to discover what I wanted to be when my business and I grew up. Getting clear about the work I truly enjoy, the type of business that works for me, and learning how to manage caregiving along with running my business has been a long journey. One I truly believe was well worth taking. 

The clarity I longed for didn’t come until I learned how important it is to add intentional rest to my schedule and give myself time to think, pray, and connect with other like-minded women who understood this crazy entrepreneurial journey. 

Developing a habit of rest gave me the mental space I needed to ask better, deeper questions that helped me finally see the possibilities of what my business could be like and take action instead of just hoping things would change. I’d love to share how you can find that clarity too. 

If you are ready for a business that works for you in the current season of life you are in. Then it’s time to stop buying all the courses, filling countless journals, and wishing that something would change. Let’s roll up our sleeves, ask those hard questions, as we sojourn together through life and entrepreneurship as women over 50. 

Join me as we talk about running an online business, managing stress and anxiety, stepping into the calling on our hearts, and taking the action needed to find the clarity we’ve been looking for, all without needing to burn the candle at both ends.Along the way we meet other women as they share their stories of clarity, calling and the journey it’s taken to get to where they are today.
