Building a successful business while maintaining a strong sense of personal grounding can be challenging. However, the power of faith and resilience in shaping one's dream life and business is truly astounding. Prioritizing time to pray helps guide your days to accomplish your goals and stay strong in faith in Christ.

Prioritizing faith as the center of life and business helps keep you grounded, particularly in overwhelming moments. Starting each day focused on His word through Bible study and time to pray, clarifies the day ahead and reminds you of what is most important. When we begin our day with the peace of God, that is something we can hold onto and look to as the chaos of what the day might bring tries to take over.

When we begin our day in prayer and with God, we look at our business and how we define success through a different lens. We all have God-given gifts, and if you have been called to help serve others through coaching, you must remember why. Remembering your calling and measuring success by your impact rather than the number of dollar signs you make brings immense peace to your day and helps keep you focused on serving your clients.

Prayer is a conversation with God. It is an opportunity to share with Him as a father and a brother, a place to find comfort. As long as you are conversing, there is no right or wrong way to pray. When you get more specific about what you seek guidance with and fully share what is going on in your life, God will answer that prayer. The power of faith is in knowing God will answer in his time and finding gratitude in his answers.

Entrepreneurs are under enormous pressure to maintain a social media presence. This pressure leads to comparing yourself to others and imposter syndrome, which is the idea that if you are not doing precisely what someone else is doing, you may not be an expert who can help others.

Rather than putting your efforts solely into social media, building a solid foundation for your business is essential. This can be done through search engine optimization to help your soulmate clients find you. Building a website that speaks to who you are, sharing information through meaningful blog posts and podcast interviews, and building relationships through networking and collaborations are all ways to connect with your soulmate clients without falling into the social comparisons so often associated with social media.

Podcast pitching is integral to your online visibility strategy, especially if you want to create success without social media.

Being a guest on reputable podcasts helps improve your online visibility, grows your credibility and authority in your niche, and enables you to stand out as a go-to expert. In addition, it builds trust. When a host invites you on their podcast, they trust you to provide value for their listeners. Since they trust you, their listeners are more likely to trust you. The listeners become warm leads faster than people who have never heard you speak or experienced the value you provide.

When interviewed on a podcast, the host will ask where listeners can connect with you. This is your opportunity to drive traffic to your website, which shows Google and other search engines that you provide value, and they should send more people to your site. In addition, you will likely be offered the opportunity to give a call to action (CTA). This is your opportunity to drive traffic to your email list. Share the link to a valuable lead magnet and grow your community for the opportunity to convert the leads to paying clients through a nurture sequence.

Another benefit of being a podcast guest is reaching a larger audience. When interviewing, you are in front of an audience you may not have been able to reach without the interview opportunity.

Additional advantages of being a podcast guest include building relationships with hosts and listeners and increasing collaboration and referral opportunities.

Summary of benefits of being a podcast guest:

• Increases online visibility
• Builds credibility and authority
• Drives traffic to your website
• Builds trust
• CTAs help grow your community and email list
• Builds relationships with hosts and listeners
• Opens the door for collaboration and referral opportunities

Employing strategies to pitch to be a podcast guest will improve your success rate and credibility.

How to get guest spots on podcasts

"Thought work" has become a popular buzzword, especially in the coaching and self-development industries. Understanding and applying thought work strategies effectively involves exploring thoughts and the interconnectedness of our emotions, intuition, and behaviors.

We hear a lot about thought work, but there is more to it to change our outcomes. Thought work is not merely about focusing on cognitive processes; it dives deeper into the intricate connection between thoughts, emotions, and actions. Often, thought work can be detrimental.

Thought work involves more than just thinking positive thoughts. It includes mindset and belief work, diving into how our thoughts influence our feelings and actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a widely recognized model, highlights that our thoughts create emotions, which determine our actions. So, in this model, understanding and intentionally guiding our thoughts is crucial for personal growth and transformation.

Despite the benefits of thought work strategies, it's essential to recognize their limitations. Not all feelings stem directly from thoughts. Emotions can arise independently, whether driven by past experiences, relationships, or from unprocessed trauma. Ignoring these emotions and focusing only on thought work can be detrimental.

It is important to remember that thoughts create feelings, but not all feelings are created from thoughts. We have underlying emotions and past experiences that create our feelings. Our bodies possess innate wisdom, often providing physical reactions to different situations. These visceral responses can guide our decision-making. Acknowledging these reactions allows us to tap into our intuition and align our actions with our true selves.
