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

Have you ever felt compelled to move? Maybe it as a transition or a shift you felt you needed to make in your life, or maybe it was physically moving homes or states.

Just because it's right doesn't mean it's going to be easy. Transition is never easy, but if it is right, it does mean you will have a peace in your heart, and you will know deep down that it is where you are supposed to be.

We physically moved this past month, and there were quite a few hurdles we had to jump over. Yet, it felt right, and we had peace, so we kept walking through the open doors. I want to share our story and what I learned through it with you.

I know you probably are thinking, what’s the point in goal setting or creating a vision for the year if it can just be taken away in the blink of a moment? In light of the events of last year, are you feeling any anxieties for 2021 as you are deciding on things you’d like to accomplish, races you’d like to run, vacations you’d like to take?

One thing we learned from last year is that anything can happen at any time, and we need to be prepared to shift and adjust in any given moment. I think that's a huge lesson, don't you?

BUT, this lesson shouldn’t keep us from dreaming and setting big, burly goals! We just need to learn to flex when obstacles come and we find we need to shift. 

As we embrace the new year, I’ll be sharing quite a bit about setting and crushing goals, but as we create our visions for 2021, we need to remember that what we write down on paper may not turn out exactly how we plan. We do the work, we get into motion, but God determines our steps. His vision for our life is what is ultimate and best, and if we’re leaning into Him and seeking Him, he will reveal some of that vision to us so we can plan and work, but we need to also allow for the flexibility required to get to the finish line.

My entire life I’ve been in too much of a hurry. The last couple of years have been teaching me that it’s time to slow down and focus on what is most important. I had to do a full-out evaluation of the activities and roles I was putting my time into and evaluating if they were where I needed to be. The short answer is most of them were not and that someone else could do them as well or even better than I could, so it was time to let go and let God work in my life!

It’s important to take down time in order to refresh and refuel and get ready to go again. God rested on the seventh day of creation, and if He decided a rest day was important, then maybe we should think about that and why it may matter to us. 

Do you find time to rest? Can you tell the warning signs when you’re beginning to feel burnout? And maybe the most important question is, do you listen to them?

Are you feeling uncertain about your goals? Wondering if you’re on the right path or if it’s time to pivot? We’ve all been there! In this episode, we’re unpacking three powerful questions that will help you evaluate your motives, assess whether your approach is sustainable, and seek God’s guidance to find clarity.

This episode will help you:

✅ Align your goals with God’s purpose instead of external expectations.

✅ Create a sustainable approach to goal-setting that supports long-term growth.

✅ Discern whether challenges are strengthening you or if God is redirecting you.

Friend, before you give up, take a moment to reflect on these questions—because sometimes, the answer isn’t quitting, it’s adjusting.

2020 Vision. That’s what this year was set up to be. A year of vision! Did you feel the same way on January 1? My word for this year was VISION. It’s crazy to think looking back it truly was a year of vision, but very different from what I saw or thought this year was going to bring.

I’ll explain more about this as we go. I was reflecting on the year, and God literally hit me over the head and said, “It still was a year of vision, my vision for your life, not yours.” That’s why I knew I had to share this with you!

What were your plans on January 1? What New Year’s resolutions did you set for yourself? What goals were you gearing up to crush? What did you think this year would bring?
