Ep 232. Doing Business Differently: What Kingdom Success Looks Like (Part 1)

Have you ever felt like you're one number away from finally feeling successful?

If so, you're not alone, mama.

In this special episode of the Faith-Fueled Mompreneur Podcast, I'm kicking off a brand new series called "Doing Business Differently," and I'm pulling back the curtain on something I've never shared before: I've never made six figures in my business.

For years, I thought that meant I wasn't successful. But God has been teaching me something profound: You can't experience God's best while chasing worldly success.

This faith-filled conversation will help you see that success isn't about the number you hit, and with God's guidance, you can redefine success His way and build a Kingdom business that brings peace, joy, and impact.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why I've spent thousands of dollars chasing six figures (and why I kept coming up empty-handed)
• The four worldly measures of success vs. God's Kingdom measures: Income vs. Impact, Popularity vs. Purpose, Accumulating vs. Abiding, Striving vs. Surrender
• What Romans 12:2 teaches us about discernment and renewing our minds to recognize God's will
• A powerful question that will shift how you view success forever: $200,000 or life-changing impact?
• Why I struggled to leave photography (even though God was calling me to something greater)
• The Priscilla Shirer quote that changed my perspective: "The grass is greener wherever you water it"
• Why trading striving for surrender has brought me more peace, joy, connection, AND income than ever before
• How to start measuring success by Kingdom metrics instead of worldly metrics
• The key verse for this series: Romans 12:2
