Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 but feel called to more get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business without quitting their jobs yet.
Launching your first service-based business isn’t about doing more; it’s about building strategically. In this episode, I break down the 3 mistakes Christian professionals make when trying to start a business while working a 9–5.
In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Why scattered effort sabotages your launch
Why waiting for clients before building structure delays growth
How trying to launch your grand vision all at once creates overwhelm
How Customer Experience drives momentum
What to do instead to launch your service-based business strategically
If you’ve started “building” but feel scattered, you want clarity and structure before launching further, this episode will help you identify what’s missing.
I pray this blesses you.

151 | “If I Am Truly Called, It Would Feel Clear Before I Move” — Why That Belief Is Keeping You Stuck

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christian professionals get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business while working a corporate job.
Have you ever told yourself:
“When it’s God, it will feel clear.”
“I just need more confirmation.”
“I’m waiting for peace before I move.”
What if the very thing you’re calling discernment is actually delayed obedience?
In this episode, I dismantle one of the most common myths keeping Christian professionals stuck:
If you were truly called, it would feel clear before you move.
As someone who built a 7-figure logistics business over 13+ years and now coaches Christians launching service-based businesses, I’ve seen this pattern repeatedly. High-capacity believers wait for clarity… instead of building it.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why clarity does not come before execution
The psychological reason research feels safer than action
How perfectionism hides behind “waiting on God.”
The biblical pattern of progressive revelation
Why structure creates clarity (not the other way around)
If you’ve been researching, journaling, and thinking about starting your service-based business but haven’t moved, this episode is for you.
Clarity is not downloaded. It is developed.
I pray this blesses you.

150 | How To Launch Your First Service-Based Business Using God’s Creation Principles

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 but feel called to more get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business without quitting their jobs yet.
Have you been called to start a service-based business but keep waiting for the “right time”?
In this episode, I share how God’s creation principles in Genesis 1 have reshaped the way I think about launching a business — especially while still working a 9-to-5. I walk you through how I see God’s order, strategy, and intentionality as a blueprint for building something sustainable from the very beginning.
Here’s what I unpack:
Why you must start before conditions feel perfect
How to think big but execute one small step at a time
Why building structure before filling it leads to sustainability
How to launch strategically instead of emotionally
If you’re a Christian professional who feels called to build with purpose and clarity, this episode will challenge how you approach starting.
I pray this blesses you.

149 | The Naaman Blueprint: Why It’s So Hard To Transition From Career Success To Starting A Service-Based Business

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 but feel called to more get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business without quitting their jobs yet.
Have you built career success but now feel called to start a service-based business?
In this episode, I share what I’m calling The Naaman Blueprint — a 3-step framework drawn from 2 Kings 5 that has been reshaping how I approach starting again. I walk you through how I’m navigating the transition from closing down my 7-figure service-based business to starting my second service-based business without letting pride delay obedience.
Here’s what I unpack:
Why starting again after success can feel so uncomfortable
What it looks like to receive instruction without status
Why process matters more than prestige
How humility can become your competitive advantage
How I’m overcoming what I call the “Naaman Syndrome”
If you’re transitioning from career success into starting a service-based business, you are not demoted. You are being developed for your next assignment.
I pray this blesses you.

148 | The Real Reason You Struggle To Say Yes To Your Calling To Start A Business (It’s Not Fear)

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians working a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their God-given calling to start a service-based business without quitting their jobs yet.
You think the real reason you struggle to say yes to your calling is fear.
Fear of failing.
Fear of what people will think.
Fear of not being ready.
But what if that’s not the real reason you haven’t started?
In today’s episode, I share a deeply personal reflection about why it’s easy to show up for others yet difficult to show up for your own calling.
If you’re a high-performing Christian professional working a 9-to-5…
If you’re dependable at work, faithful in your responsibilities, and always there for others…
But you keep delaying the business God placed on your heart…
This episode will lovingly challenge you.
Inside this conversation, you’ll discover:
Why showing up for others feels easier than showing up for yourself
The hidden identity pattern keeping you stuck
Why “fear” may not be the real issue
This is not about hustle.
It’s not about grinding harder.
It’s about alignment between who you are and what God called you to build.
I pray this blesses you.
