  • You're already a Leader: Faith Based Business, Stewardship, Courage & Influence for Christian Women Entrepreneurs - Ep. 126

Whether or not you have a team, leadership means stewardship, influence, courage, and faithfulness in managing what God has entrusted to you. Lindsay explores biblical principles, self-leadership, and the responsibilities that come with influence, encouraging you to become the leader you are meant to be now, not someday. Not just saying you own a faith based business, but living it out daily.

  • Maybe You Don’t Need Another Business Strategy. You Need Discipline. - Ep. 125

    In this episode of The Leaders' Table Podcast, Lindsay Fletcher challenges the common refrain among Christian women in business: that what’s missing is another strategy. Instead, she invites us to consider that the real issue might be a discipline problem.

    We often scramble for new offers, marketing tactics, or platforms, mistaking frantic activity for productivity. Lindsay digs into the connection between faith, discipline, stewardship, and leadership, grounded in 2 Timothy 1:7, which reminds us God has given us power, love, and self-discipline.

    Hear why vision demands discipline, motivation alone won’t sustain a business, and faithful leadership sometimes means showing up for the hard, ordinary work—sales calls, follow-ups, relationship building—even when excitement wanes.

    This conversation distinguishes necessary pivots from emotional reactions and urges patience for the seeds we’ve already sown to take root. Ultimately, it’s about who you’re becoming through the process of business building.

    Key Questions Explored:

    • Are you pivoting out of fear or wisdom?
    • Where might impatience be masquerading as a strategic change?
    • What discipline do you need to faithfully lead what God has entrusted to you?
    • Who are you becoming as you build your business?
    • If you’re seeking more customers, revenue, or influence, this episode will help you reflect on developing the discipline to steward those blessings well instead of chasing constant new solutions.Follow the show for ongoing honest conversations about faith, leadership, money, stewardship, and growth for Christian women in business.

    • Pricing, Profit, and the Mindset Christian Women in Business Need to Talk About - Ep. 124

      In this episode of The Leaders’ Table Podcast, host sits down with three business friends—Jan Touchberry, Andee Hart, and Gabe Cox—for a candid conversation about money, pricing, profit, and the personal beliefs that Christian women bring to these decisions.

      We explore why pricing can feel so personal, especially when building a business around your own gifts and expertise. Together, we unpack the fear of raising prices, the struggle to value your own work, and the tension between serving well and charging appropriately.

      Beyond the challenges, we dive deep into a vital question: What if profitability actually expands our ability to serve others? Listen in as we clarify the difference between ministry and giving away your work, discuss how investment fosters client ownership, and reflect on what Scripture says about stewardship, gifts, and profitable work.

      Get practical insights on:

      • Overcoming fear in pricing
      • Understanding the real costs in your business
      • Researching the market to inform your pricing
      • Raising your prices confidently
      • Managing pricing for returning clients
      • Balancing capacity and profit margins
      • This episode models real, respectful disagreement and deep reflection — because The Leaders’ Table is a place for honest conversation about money, leadership, stewardship, and faith-driven business growth.

        What You’ll Learn:

        • Why pricing work can be a challenge for women
        • How to separate personal feelings from pricing decisions
        • Biblical perspectives on work, profit, and generosity
        • Practical strategies to set and raise prices
        • When to reconsider your pricing
        • How making money well amplifies your impact on family, community, and the Kingdom

        • 121. Are You Building the Business God Called You to Build?

          Have you ever felt like you're doing everything the business experts tell you to do, but instead of feeling fulfilled, you feel exhausted?

          In this personal episode of Small Business Growth Tools, I'm stepping away from sales training and marketing strategy to share a lesson God has been teaching me over the past few months.

          After a season of nonstop launches, workshops, challenges, podcasting, YouTube, social media, and trying to "be everywhere," I realized something surprising: I had become the very business owner I've spent years encouraging others not to become.

          Somewhere along the way, I started believing that visibility meant I had to be everywhere.

          But visibility without purpose accomplishes nothing.

          In this episode, I share what happened when I stepped back, why I unfollowed some of the biggest names in my industry, and how returning to the vision God originally gave me completely changed my perspective.

          If you're a Christian woman in small business who feels tired, overwhelmed, or like you're constantly chasing the next marketing strategy, this conversation is for you.

          • 119. The Surprising Thing Women Gained Inside Sell with Confidence | Sales Leadership for Christian Women

            What if the biggest thing holding you back in sales isn’t your pricing, offer, or marketing—but how you see yourself?

            In this episode, I share the key lessons from the first Sell With Confidence Challenge. After four days of live sales training, the women didn’t leave talking about scripts or closing techniques—they left talking about leadership.

            They learned to overcome awkwardness in sales conversations, to stop seeing sales as pressure and start seeing it as serving others. They discovered how to communicate their value confidently and guide people to decisions that genuinely help them.

            Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

            • Why confidence comes from preparation, not personality
            • The mindset shift that turns sales from “bothering” into serving
            • Why many Christian women struggle more with permission than integrity
            • How communication—not persuasion—is the missing link in sales
            • Why leadership is the true skill behind successful selling
            • How understanding buyer personalities transforms sales conversations
            • Hear stories from women who shifted from feeling unprepared or pushy to becoming confident leaders in their sales journeys.

              If you’ve ever felt uncomfortable asking for the sale, worried about being too pushy, or heard “I need to think about it” more times than you’d like, this episode is for you.

              Key Takeaways:

              • Confidence is built through preparation
              • Sales is service—not pressure
              • Communication is a leadership skill
              • Buyers want guidance, not convincing
              • Selling is really about leading

              • 118. Number 1 Way to Double Your Sales (without more leads) in Small Local Business

                #1 Way Christian Women Can Double Sales Without More Leads

                ----------------------

                You don’t need more leads to grow your business. You need better follow-through.  In this episode, I’m breaking down the number one way to double, triple, even 10X your sales—and it has nothing to do with posting more, marketing more, or chasing more people.

                It’s follow-up.

                And before you brush that off like you’ve heard it before… I want you to really see what this is costing you.

                On average, only about 2% of sales happen in the first conversation.

                That means 98% of your potential clients don’t say yes right away.

                And 80% of those people?

                They need 5 to 12 follow-ups before they decide.

                Most of you are stopping after the first conversation, or worse, you’re ending with “let me know if you have any questions” and putting the responsibility on them. That’s where the sale dies.

                In this episode, I walk you through a simple numbers breakdown that shows exactly how you’re leaving money on the table.

                We look at what happens when 100 people contact your business and you only rely on first conversations.

                And then what happens when you follow up just once… and then twice.

                The difference is not small. In this example, it’s the difference between $200 and $600 with just two follow-ups.

                That’s not a marketing or leads problem. This is a follow-up problem.  Most small business owners have never learned to sell, so they don't know how to set themselves up for expected follow up and/or they don't have a simple system so that people served and sales don't fall through the cracks.

                The Sales Shift:

                You’re not missing leads. You’re missing follow-through.

                Actionable Takeaways:

                • Set the expectation for follow-up during the first conversation
                • Stop saying “let me know” and start owning the next step
                • Build a simple system to track who to follow up with
                • Make follow-up feel expected, not awkward
                •
