Let me just tell you this my friend. It is...

Hey my friend,     We are hopeful when we build a business but who doesn't know that things can go wrong from time to time? So many startups and small businesses don't make it just because they failed to plan. On the other hand, planning is not easy. I remember beings so excited as I had the idea to start a business. It did not take too long before I discovered that I was not thinking this through. Just to have the running costs covered is not going to leave you in a comfortable spot. You...

Hey my friend,     Have you ever felt too embarassed to tell others that you are in the process of building up a business? Do you avoid telling anyone about your business or down-play it as if it were a side gig? Don't feel ashamed about this my friends, because I have been there too. In fact, many people struggle with confidently and boldly stating what they are working on. The fear of criticism and judgement can hold us back. Sometimes, there might be other reasons for you to keep a low...

Hey my friend,     Many of us start out as entrepreneurs thinking that we have to spend a whole lot of money in order to run a business. Often, people even falsely believe that they could never afford to be an entrepreneur. I am here to bust that myth today! It is entirely possible to run a business for 655$ per year (I am the living proof for this). Are you stunned?! Do you have a hard time believing this? If so, you definitely need to listen in. I share with you how I do this. I also...

Hey my friend,     You are fired up for your business idea but your spouse is just not on board with it? An entrepreneur's life can be a tough act. Especially if you are just starting out and trying to balance things out. There might be resentment and bitterness or even a hard-no from your spouse. And maybe, you are starting to second guess yourself too. All these thoughts might be spinning in your head. Is entrepreneurship really the way to go? Should I do this? Then you get frustrated...

Hey my friend,     Do you find yourself in the space where you are denying yourself any expenditure at all? Maybe, you have invested in building up your own business and finances are really tight or you are working on paying back your debt. Or maybe you have decided that you need to cut back on expenses in order to achieve a big financial goal.

Hey my friend,     Does this sound familiar to you: Your kid hit his head and cries at the top of his voice  while you are having a sales pitch on Zoom. Or, your daughter walks into the room for the 10th time while you are trying to finish the presentation so that you end up yelling at her and making her cry. Then you became so frustrated with yourself and the mom guilt is just eating you when you are tucking in your little one that night because you feel like a bad mother. You know what?...

Hey my friend,     Being your own boss is great. However, it does not only bring perks with it. Especially if you are starting out, you will have to fill in more than one role to get your business to thrive. You are the owner, the CEO, the CFO and the COO at the same time. So, how do you handle this? How do you make sure that you take the right decisions, especially if you are not experienced in a certain area? Today we’ll look at the Financial Responsibility that comes with being an...

Hey my friend,     Are you living a crazy entrepreneur life? Today, I wanna share the entrepreneur tips & life hacks from the Proverbs Chapter 31 Woman. Maybe you have heard about her before and feel that she is a super woman.

That was exactly my thought a few years ago. That is until I discovered that actually this woman is...

Hey my friend,     Are you so busy that you feel like you can't breathe anymore? I am not speaking about the normal levels of busy. I am speaking about a prolonged period of business where you try to do all the things at the same time: Starting a business while still being in corporate, manage a household, be there for your kids, take care of the health - just while the microwave exploded and your dog peed in the house?!

Hey my friend,     Are you slowly about to resuming your life again after the summer break but somehow feeling not good about "going back"? Maybe your kids are going back to school and you are about to getting back to a work environment that has been rather negative.

Do you have "everything lined up" but just lack a great idea?!   Don't drive yourself crazy anymore my friends! I know how this feels because I have been there too.

Hi friend, Have you ever been in this situation. You see your friend or a colleague struggling in a bleak situation but you don't quite know what to say. Maybe they are not a Christian and you hesitate to share the word of God with them. Or you try to be there but something just feels off because you feel you have nothing to offer. Let me share this truth with you. No matter who you are or what you do for a living - you are still a Christian. As a Christian we bring something of Christ's...

Hi friend, Do you love God but sometimes struggle to see what it means to be a Christian in your day-to-day life? Maybe you are working at a burger joint, binding up wounds in a hospital or typing away e-mails for a living.

Hi friend, Were you excited to get up on Monday and go to work? Do you feel satisfied and content when you come home? Or do you rather even lack the energy to move once you are back and feel all your life juices have been sucked out of you?! I did a poll recently and an overwhelming 260 people said that the number one reason for them to stay in their current job is that it pays their bills. But is it really worth it?! I know for a fact, that they are probably not factoring in the cost of...
