  • Putting God First in your Life & Business | What I learned from trying to do business on my own
    When business opportunities and entrepreneurial opportunities, whether they are small business opportunities or new business opportunities, it can be easy to get so focused on them that you fail to make time for God within your business.
    Forgetting to put God first in everything you do, can be detrimental to your mental and business health. For me, I hit a wall.. face first and realized why I was in such a funk. Me striving was doing no good and helpful no one. For this reason here are some quick reminders from me to you:
    always put god first
    put God in the center of your life
    put God first in your life
    put God first and everything else will follow
    put first the kingdom of God
    I hope and pray that this video helps you avoid some of the holes I stumbled upon! Have you ever hit this wall? Let me know in the comments section!

    I relate to this! It even got to the point where I felt guilty for resting because I felt there was so much to do.
    But God helped me understand being able to rest is a gift. When we rest we allow Him to do what only He can do
    I’m working on shifting my habits to match this mindset ❤️

    Fr fr this video was confirmation for me. I’m in the beauty space and as a Christian wasn’t sure how to incorporate him. Or even if I should because I didn’t want to turn people away. I also struggled with knowing if he was even calling me because beauty is “vain”. But this week I realized that there are several women I admire and what I admire about them is there level of faith AND their business. They don’t leave their faith to be successful. So I’m so happy I came across this. It confirmed to me what God spoke to me this week which is, “take me with you”. In every space, every room. I am taking the love of Christ with me and will NOT be shy about it.

      Keep coming with the content sis. I also subscribed to you for their same reason. You were about your business but you were also a Christian. The Blessed is Bossed up podcast by Tatum Temia is also a great resource for all things business and God. She teaches women how to make God the CEO of their business.

    Love your vulnerability! and I relate to this so much! There are times I think God is very slow and He does not care. But the truth is, I am not entrusting my plans to Him. He cares, and He gave me this vision. Thanks for your video, Andrea. I hope that you continue to share what God has placed in your heart as there are a lot of Christian entrepreneurs who need support and biblical-based advice in the business world, and I'm one of them. :)

    This is me currently. I'm trying to figure out what the next move is going to be. I definitely need to work on my relationship with God because I feel like he has been speaking to me. I started working on my business the beginning of 2022. I was working my 9 to 5pm, and then coming home and working on my business. It was to much and I was burned out by the summer. I didn't want to do anything, and I felt guilty for wanting to rest.

    Wow 😂I’m currently learning this. He had me fooled into believing working like a maniac was the way to fulfill my purpose with my business, until I started hating it and had no love or desire for it anymore. And I was confused. Wondering why God was letting this happen to me. I was letting it happen to myself. I was not putting in work to get to know God. I couldn’t even see what I was doing couldve never been God’s will. Not sleeping or eating for the sake of work? 😂 I was deceived with my own talents and skills which God blessed me with.

I felt like as I've been trying to do everything on my own, it's definitely caused me to get stuck and feel less clear on what steps I'm called to take so, in this season, I'm just choosing to really lean in and allow God to lead and shine. Great video and encouragement!

    Talk to God about your business coz he is the one who gave you the idea, the business or the vision, don't try to do it all by yourself- don't think God is slow, allow God to guide you. Pray and fast over your business and seek to know how you will partner with God in this business. Don't be deceived about being busy remember if the devil cannot distract you he will keep you busy. Surrender and allow God to steer you and the business

Then, I think no. I need to be true to myself and boldly speak about God and give glory to Him. Also, I need to make sure I have daily, quality time with God. I think I’ve been searching for answers, and it’s right in front of me through His Word. Thanks again for the inspiration. I’m glad you will be sharing God freely within your business. As I am building my business, that’s what I’m looking for.
