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. 👉 Ready to start your God-given service-based business without leaving your job yet?

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.
You do not have an idea problem. You have too many ideas, and because you cannot choose one, you have started none of them.
In this episode, I help you see what is really going on when you cannot pick a lane, and I give you a simple way to finally choose the one idea to move forward with. We talk about the one gift hiding under all your ideas, and I walk you through the three questions that sort your list fast.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
Why having too many ideas keeps you stuck, and why focus increases speed
The three questions that help you choose your one idea to start first
Where to put the ideas you set aside so you never feel like you are losing them
You are not losing the other ideas. You are simply choosing what comes first. Follow one course until success, and the rest will be waiting for you.
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.
You have been waiting for a big, impressive business idea to hit you. And because it has not come, you think you just do not have one yet.
In this episode, I want to show you something different. The business might already be hiding in your ordinary, the thing you do so easily and so naturally that you do not even count it. I share how my own ordinary skill became a business that served thousands, and I give you a simple way to find the one hiding in your life.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
The lie that keeps you from seeing the business right in front of you
What it really means that the business is hiding in your ordinary
Why a business is simply a skill meeting a real need
How to find your own ordinary, the skill you have stopped noticing
Why what feels ordinary to you may matter more than you know
Stop waiting for rocket science. God has already placed experiences, passions, and desires inside you, and the business you are looking for may be closer than you think.
If you are starting to see the business hiding in your ordinary, there is 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.
You have the business idea. But there is one question keeping you stuck. Is this really from God, or did I just make it up?
In this episode, I am giving you a way to actually know. First, I take the pressure off the either/or, because a God-idea and the way God wired you are not always two different things. Then I walk you through three signals you can use to discern whether the idea is from God, so you can stop circling the question and start moving with confidence.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
Why this question keeps so many called people stuck
The reframe that takes the pressure off "God or just me"
The three signals that help you discern your answer
How God uses other people to confirm what He already told you
What it really means when a God-given idea still faces challenges
God is not trying to hide the answer from you. He wired you, He walks with you, and He confirms what He has already spoken. You do not have to figure this out alone.
If you are ready to discern your idea and get clear on your next step, there is 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.
Sometimes "I'm praying about it" is exactly the right and faithful thing to say. And sometimes, it is fear wearing a holy robe.
In this episode, I am telling on myself. I share the season I hid behind "I'm waiting on God" when I was really just afraid, and the moment that fear came off and I finally moved. Then I walk you through how to tell the difference for yourself, so the thing you keep praying about does not become the thing that keeps you stuck.
Here is what I unpack in this episode:
What real, genuine discernment actually looks like
How fear disguises itself as waiting on God
The real reasons we hide behind prayer
Three tests to tell discernment from fear
Why faith will always require action, and who is waiting on the other side of yours
God is not the author of confusion. He gives you enough to take the next step. And if He has already answered, it might be time to stop praying for permission you already have.
If you are ready to get clear on the next step God is asking you to take, there is 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.
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.
