Struggling to Trust God With Your Business? Do These 3 Things
Sales Strategies for Christian CoachesShow Notes
Have you been struggling with doubt, anxiety, or uncertainty about your coaching business?
Maybe you know God has called you to this work, but the results aren’t happening as quickly or consistently as you hoped. You’re praying, working, trying new strategies, and wondering what trusting God with your business growth is actually supposed to look like.
In this episode of Sales Strategies for Christian Coaches, I’m sharing the three things I believe have to work together: Prayer. Surrender. Action.
I talk about what I’ve experienced in my own business, including seasons when I’ve felt uncertain about what was next for Faith2Influence, and how spending more intentional time in prayer has changed the way I approach business decisions, sales, and growth.
We’ll talk about: Why it’s okay to pray specifically for sales and business growth
What surrender looks like when you still have goals and responsibilities
Why surrender doesn’t mean becoming passive
How to release your grip on outcomes while still doing your best work
Why consistent action gives God opportunities to work through expected and unexpected paths
How to evaluate where you may be getting stuck in prayer, surrender, or action
Trusting God with your business doesn’t mean you stop learning, marketing, selling, networking, or having conversations.
You pray. You surrender the outcomes. And you keep taking faithful, focused action.
At the end of this episode, I also pray specifically for the Christian coaches, consultants, trainers, and entrepreneurs listening who are navigating fear, self-doubt, financial pressure, or uncertainty in their businesses.

Sometimes they don't, and that's a good thing. Modeling a mentor can take you further faster, but copying everything can leave you resenting your own calendar or pricing like someone else. Here's how to learn from the best and still ask, "Is this for me?"
For a lot of Christian coaches, it's "Do you want to do this?" at the end of a sales call. Or what to ask after "I need to talk to my spouse." Or the one we ask ourselves: Am I good enough? Here's how asking the next question sets both of you free.

In this episode, I walk through what I would do if I woke up tomorrow and Faith2Influence was gone — and my family was relying on me to rebuild a coaching business that actually produces income in month one.I share the early failures (one paying client in 2012, three in 2015) and what changed when Faith2Influence started in 2018: a $60,000 first-year goal that became more than $250,000 in revenue. Then I break down the three things I would focus on if I had that same urgency again.Day one: a simple business plan. A clear mission around a problem people will pay to solve, one or two high-value offers, and one path to present them.Day two: build prospect and referral-partner lists from the people you already know, and lean on existing trust.Day three: start conversations. Send messages, follow up, and get on sales calls quickly. Keep an hour each weekday for outreach, because that is where income is created.This one is for brand-new Christian coaches, and for anyone who has been hustling in the wrong places and wants to get back to what actually works.Chapters:00:00 Starting over from zero00:55 Lessons from failure and breakthrough01:53 Build a simple business plan02:51 Write a clear mission statement03:19 Create one or two high-value offers04:13 Establish a signature offer05:11 Choose one offer presentation strategy06:11 Build prospect and referral lists07:31 Use existing trust for early sales08:00 Start conversations through direct outreach08:56 Follow up consistently10:21 Prioritize income-producing work11:16 Begin sales calls quickly12:14 Return to the fundamentals
