TOP 2% GLOBALLY RANKED BUSINESS PODCAST FOR CHRISTIANS WHO WANT TO START A SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS WHILE WORKING A 9-TO-5 Hi, I’m Chichi - Business Strategist, Implementation Coach, and a Jesus Follower. 🎙️ Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast—a faith-based business podcast for Christians working a 9-to-5 who feel called to more. Here, you’ll find the clarity, strategy, systems, and faith-led guidance you need to step boldly into your God-given calling to start a service-based business. If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place. I knew I was called to start a business, but I wrestled with a lack of clarity, self-doubt, and the fear of losing a stable income. That fear kept me stuck in my 9-to-5 longer than I should have until I traded it for faith and obedience. I left my job, built a multi–7-figure global logistics brand, and ran it for 13 years, serving thousands of customers worldwide. Now, I help other Christians working a 9-to-5 do the same. Your next assignment starts here, with someone who has lived the journey, navigated the transitions, endured the pressure, ridden the ups and downs, and stayed anchored in faith through it all. You don’t have to stay stuck in fear, doubt, or confusion. God has already equipped you to launch the business He placed in your heart. 🙏🏽 Inside this podcast, you’ll gain: ✨ Clarity on your business idea and focused direction ✨ A proven, practical launch plan ✨ The right business foundations ✨ A simple, aligned offer that honors your current season and capacity ✨ Sustainable systems that grow with you ✨ Confidence to launch your business without sacrificing your financial stability If you’re unfulfilled in a 9-to-5 job you’ve outgrown, overwhelmed by too many ideas, unsure where to start, or craving more time, freedom, income, and impact, you’re in the right place. 💡 It’s time to partner with God and step boldly into your calling to start that business. You know the one I’m talking about. Yes, that one you’ve been putting off for a long time. 👉 Next Steps: I invite you to work with me. 📅 Book a Free Discovery Call → https://fromjobtobusiness.com/ During the call, you’ll gain clarity on: ✨ The challenges stopping you from starting your service-based business ✨ The problems those challenges are creating and ✨ How to overcome them By the end of the call, you’ll have the clarity you need to take the next best step and confidently launch your service-based business while working your 9-to-5. 🚀

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians with a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet.
If you have felt guilty for not quitting your job to chase your calling, or afraid that staying employed means you do not have enough faith, this episode is going to set you free.
Everywhere you look, someone is telling you to quit, take the leap, and go all in. But that advice does not factor in the real responsibilities your paycheck is holding up. In this episode, I am making the case that your 9-to-5 is not the enemy. It is God's provision, and your calling can grow right alongside it.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
The lie that keeps you feeling stuck between your job and your calling
What Scripture actually shows us about building step by step
Why the "just quit and go all in" advice can be dangerous
What your job really is
The permission to hold both, until God tells you otherwise
Your 9-to-5 and your calling can coexist. Obedience is not quitting. Obedience is taking the next step while you trust God for the timing of your exit.
If you are ready to start building your calling while you are still working your 9-to-5, there is a way to get the clarity you need at the end of this episode.
I pray this blesses you.

If you are finally ready to do something about your calling while you are still working your 9-to-5, let's have that conversation. I will help you get clear on what you want to build, so the time you have to work on it is more profitable and you can actually get it done alongside your 9-to-5.

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians with a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet.
If you have been chasing something for a long time- a promotion, a certification, approval, the next win- and it still feels like it is never quite enough, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I am sharing my own story. The season of rejection I walked through, and the two questions my husband asked me that broke something open and changed the entire direction of my life. Those two questions became the reason I built a seven-figure service-based business, and they might be the exact questions you need to hear.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
The picture of success I was programmed to chase, and why it kept me stuck
What the season of chasing really cost me
The two questions that changed everything
Why your passion is more valuable than you think it is
The question to ask yourself if you have been chasing the wrong thing
That calling sitting quietly inside you is not too simple, too small, or too late. It was given to you for a reason. This episode will help you see it differently.
If you are ready to start moving toward your calling, there is a way to get the clarity you need at the end of this episode.
I pray this blesses you.

I want to be for you what my husband was to me when I was still chasing validation in the wrong place. His questions gave me the clarity to move in a new direction. When you book a Business Clarity Session with me, the questions I ask you will do for you what my husband's questions did for me.

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians with a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet.
If you have told yourself you're going to start that business for years now, and every year that passes the shame gets a little heavier, this episode is for you.
In this episode, I am talking about the shame loop, the quiet, frustrating cycle of talking about starting that business for years and not doing it. Then feeling like you have failed yourself all over again.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
What the shame loop is really about
The reason you can have all the knowledge and still not know how
The lie shame tells you and the truth that breaks it
The two steps that break the loop for good
The smallest first step you can take, even while your life is already full
That calling has stayed with you for years for a reason. It did not leave. This episode will give you the tools to break the shame loop and get moving with starting that business.
If you're ready to break the loop and take your next small step, there's a way to get the clarity you need at the end of this episode.
I pray this blesses you.

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians with a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet.
I stepped away from this podcast for a couple of weeks. And in this episode, I am walking you through how I got back, and how you can get back to your God-given business after stepping away for a while too. If life got full with your 9-to-5, your family, and everything else, and the dream went quiet, this episode is for you.
I discovered something in those weeks away that changes the way you see every gap, every stop, and every restart.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
Why stepping away does not mean you have quit
The difference between frequency and consistency, and why it matters
The one lie that keeps you from coming back, and the truth that breaks it
The smallest first step to get moving again, even while life is full
The gap does not define you. If you have been away from your calling because life got busy, and you can feel Q4 coming and you still haven't done anything about the business God placed on your heart, this episode will help you take the next small step.
I pray this blesses you.

Hey Friend,
Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast, where Christians with a 9-to-5 get the clarity, strategy, and faith-first guidance they need to step boldly into their calling to start a service-based business without leaving their job yet.
In this episode, I am stepping into a guest host seat on the Gen Truth Podcast to share something that has shaped every area of my life, including my business. The Holy Spirit is not only your helper for spiritual growth. He is your helper for real, everyday challenges, and that includes the work you are building.
Anchored in Romans 8:26 to 27 NLT, I walk you through how the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness, and I open up about the areas where He has helped me personally. From the mental health struggles I carried when I was younger, to my marriage, to building healthy habits, to the strategies that keep me focused and productive in my business, I share the real moments where I asked for help, and He answered.
You will hear the story of how I first discovered the Holy Spirit as a child watching my mom, the strategy He gave me to get focused work done, and the simple practice I use to invite Him into any problem I am facing.
If you have ever felt stuck, uncertain, or overwhelmed, this conversation is your reminder that you are not alone. With the Holy Spirit, everything is figureoutable.
I pray this blesses you.
