Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

Hey Winner,

Even though the definition of balance means keeping things even so you don't fall, life balance doesn't always literally mean the same amount of time allotted for each activity, and that your scale is even. What balance in life actually means is that you know what capacity you actually have in the season that you're in and are living within that.

Think about it like this... if you're living within your means, you aren't falling behind financially. Well, balance is similar. If you're living within your capacity, the anxiety and overwhelm and exhaustion will be kept at bay.

Balance means that you are prioritizing the important things but also getting done what else needs your attention. It means you are only taking responsibility for the things that are actually your responsibility and you're not controlling things that aren't (ooooh that's a hard one, isn't it??). It means you have a peace that passes all understanding. It means you're in step with where God wants you to be. It means hearing his voice and being obedient.

Finding balance as a working mom can be challenging, but it is essential for maintaining your well-being and the well-being of your family. If you want to have a healthy family life and a healthy online business, then you need to figure this out sooner than later. I'm talking about it from experience. I get off balance so often, and my responsibilities can feel overwhelming, but when that happens, I have to reign myself in and take inventory about the things I've allowed to control my life.

Let's talk about 5 ways to create the actual balance you're looking for.

Rooting for you ~ Gabe

Hey Winner,

Your kids are now school-aged, more independent, and you've been asking yourself, "What's next?" With inflation skyrocketing, you're feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off, and you're ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into coaching sounds like a great side hustle to consider.

But... you don't want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you're asking yourself if you're good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you.

It doesn't have to be such a challenge!

All you need to know is how to clarify that calling (or that tug) that’s happening in your heart. Tuning into God and allowing Him to lead is the best solution. Let’s get practical today on some steps you can take to determine next steps and how to get crystal clear on getting started, and to do that, I have the honor of hosting my podcast mentor, Stefanie Gass, on the show!

Hey Winner,

How can you use your spiritual gifts for God's glory?

Have you thought about the fact that those gifts were given to you as a believer not for your own benefit, but for the benefit of others around you? So that you could share Christ with others in your actions and words. In your workplace. In your volunteer work. In your home?

Now the question is, how can I know what to do with these spiritual gifts? What type of business or ministry could I start? How can I make an outside impact with the gifts God has given me?

Here are 3 simple steps to turning your spiritual gifts into goals for God's glory...

Learn which spiritual gifts you have.

Ask God what He wants you to do with them and do a thorough brainstorm on paper.

Choose one thing on that list that pops out at you that you think you could do in the next 6 months.

Whatever goal you have, you can turn it into a God goal by using it to fuel his ministry and not your own achievement board. Let's dive a bit deeper into this together today!

Hey Winner,

We all have different giftings... the skills we hone and the talents we possess... they all stem from the very purpose God placed us on this earth to do - further His kingdom.

But we do this in different ways, and it looks different for everyone. Some very literally are called to the mission field in other countries. But, many times, we further God's kingdom right where we are. In our work. In our homes. In our businesses. In our giving. In our actions. In our words. In what we don't say.

Today I want to talk about these gifts, what they are, and how to know which you may have. In the next few episodes, we'll chat about how you can turn your spiritual gifts into goals and how to use your gifts in your business for the glory of God.

I'm really excited about this series, and I hope it blesses you and encourages you that you were made for such a time as this and that God wants to use you and the gifts that He gave you.... all you need to be is willing.

Rooting for you ~ Gabe

Hey Winner,

Is it time to shut off social media? Is social media distracting you from other priorities? Are you playing the comparison game when you're scrolling? And if you DO decide to take a social media break, won't that affect your online business?

Last week Gillian Perkins and I talked about knowing when it's time to give up and move on... Well, I took our advice and did exactly that with social media! What?!

I felt the pull for a while now to step away from social media altogether. Social media just hasn't been as enjoyable (probably because of all the ads I see rather than fun pictures of my friends), but it also can be so distracting. You think you'll go on for five minutes only to realize it's been more than an hour, and you're now behind.

So, after feeling the pull for a while and feeling God was leading me out, I shut it off. It's a hiatus. I haven't deleted anything, I just walked away. For how long? I'm not sure. Six months for sure. Maybe 12 months. Maybe forever. Time will tell on that part.

But... I wanted to come on today to share with you what I've already noticed in less than two months off the social media platforms!

Hey Winner,

Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals?

With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider.

But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in.

Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do.

My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place.

Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process, I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too!

As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your earbuds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger.

Rooting for you ~ Gabe
