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.

✨ 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. 🚀

Creating a service that resonates with your future customers is possible. First, identify their primary problem and main desire. Then, develop a service that addresses the problem and fulfills their desire.
Conduct market research to identify the primary problem. Then, pinpoint their number one desire or aspiration from your research. This could be a goal they are striving to achieve or a dream they hope to realize.
Design a service that offers a solution to the identified problem. Your solution should help them fulfill their number one desire as well.

Hey Friend,
The number one cause of inaction is a lack of clarity. Lack of clarity breeds inaction because you don’t know the next step to take. You become stuck. Finding clarity gives you vision, direction, and a roadmap that shows you the steps to go from stuck to unstuck.
You don’t need 100% clarity before you start your business. You need Clarity as small as a mustard seed. Clarity is like faith or a muscle. The more you use the clarity you have to take action, the more clarity you get. Clarity grows as you take action.
In today's episode, I share 3 steps you can take to find clarity so you can start a coaching business or any other service-based business.
If you’re ready to start your business, go to startthatbusinesspodcast.com to schedule your coaching session. You can also download my business clarity blueprint while you’re there.
I pray this episode helps you take action.
Enjoy!

Hey Friend,
In today's episode, I’ll share the effective technique I use to budget my time while working on my growing online business. This technique, known as time blocking, has been key in increasing my productivity and efficiency. I structure my day using time-blocking, ensuring that each task is given its due attention and time.
Stay tuned as I share how I switched from my 3-block time-blocking method to ChelsiJo’s 5-block time-blocking method. It was a game-changer!

Before starting my first service-based business, overwhelm was my middle name. I was a mom of two school-aged kids and a baby, had a hectic home life, and a spouse who often traveled for work. I found myself constantly complaining, with no time to start my business.
My breakthrough came when I discovered the ABCs of Time Management.
The ABCs of Time Management is an acronym:
A - Accept your time
B - Budget your time
C - Create more time
This essential skill helped me organize tasks, prioritize responsibilities, and balance my personal and professional life. I enhanced my productivity, reduced stress, and achieved more success.
In today's episode, I’ll share the #1 step I took to “budget your time”.
