The #1 Podcast to learn about building & scaling a viable business while transitioning away from a career. **** TOP 10 ENTREPRENEURSHIP PODCAST **** Do you feel like something is missing in your corporate career? You’ve worked hard to get where you are, but the purpose—the spark that once drove you—just isn’t there anymore? Do you feel stuck in rigid systems, following rules you didn’t create, working with clients you didn’t choose, and building something that doesn’t truly feel like yours? Do you feel like your passion is fading away? Do you know you have more to offer, but the path to entrepreneurship feels overwhelming? Or do you simply just want more freedom, more time and more financial means to spend time with you family and friends while doing God’s kingdom work? Do you sometimes wonder, how exactly God and His purpose for you fit into the picture in this day dream? Believe me, I can understand, where you’re coming from. After all, you’ve built a career, mastered valuable skills, and worked hard to get where you are. You don’t want to throw away what you have worked hard so hard for.

Hey my friend,
..
Being an entrepreneur is not always easy. There are days where everything feels hard and your goals seem just impossible to reach! Do you believe that there is just no way for you to start a side hustle? Or maybe you started out but are about to throw in the towel... If that is you, I want to give you some inspiration today! I sat down with Kara Walker who not only graduated from college debt-free but also saved up enough money on the side to start a business right after completing her education. She is now on a quest to help other students do the same through her podcast and her business. In this episode, we talk about all the topics y'all! Kara and I talk starting from Dave Ramsey and Financial Peace University to how this helped her to be vigilant about her finances. We talk about how Kara got through college debt-free, how she prepared herself to become a Christian entrepreneur, how she found clients and built up a successful business, while working a part-time job and trusting God with her discouragement, anxieties, the outcome and the process.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
Is this you? You wanted to prioritize to saving for your kid's education but it just seems like such a huge goal that is out of reach. Or maybe you think there is never going to be a way for you to afford quality education. Today, I wanna give you some inspiration! I sat down with Kara Walker who graduated from college debt-free. She is now on a quest to help other students do the same through her podcast and her business. She's living proof that you can not only get an education but also save up enough for your business while you are studying. In this episode, we talk about all the topics y'all! Kara and I talk starting from Dave Ramsey and Financial Peace University to how this helped her to be vigilant about her finances. We talk about how Kara got through college debt-free, how she prepared herself to become a Christian entrepreneur, how she found clients and built up a successful business, while working a part-time job and trusting God with her discouragement, anxieties, the outcome and the process. Even if you are not in the situation of saving up for your children's university, you still can learn so much about how an entrepreneurial mindset and the right kind of thinking tools help you to solve big everyday problems.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
There are so many pieces to entrepreneurship, especially if you are starting out. You can struggle with all kinds of frustrations and thoughts, e.g. I don’t have the time. I don't have the energy to do this. I don’t know how to raise the funds. Help, My Spouse is not supportive. I have 3 little children plus a job and a ministry - i see no way I can do this.... These are just a collection of thoughts I myself had. Maybe you started out but it’s all very messy. Or you started out and you are totally unsure. Maybe you are even at the point of giving up. Wouldn’t it be great to have someone walk with you through this journey? Wouldn't it be helpful to actually personally know someone who has walked out these steps before you? Maybe you are still unsure and think that hiring a coach or mentor is only going to cost you more time, money and energy. Let me be clear, you certainly have to make sure to get the right kind of person who can help. Otherwise you will only end up overwhelmed. In today's episode I share how you can find the right mentor or coach for you.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
So you’re starting out. Having fun but seeing only very slow growth? Or worse: You are seeing no growth at all?! You tell yourself it’s normal that things are kind of slow in the beginning. Things just need to pick up, right? But while you wait you really wonder whether things are ever going to pick up. You put on a brave face, especially in conversations with your spouse. After all, your spouse has already told you how much money is going out the door without anything to show for it. Maybe you wanna scream: I’m SCARED!!! Help, WILL MY BUSINESS EVER GROW?! It's time to get the real picture, my friend and battle your doubts. If you are crumbling under doubt, it's time to listen to this episode my friend! Because things won’t pick up, if you don’t master the basics. In my "Entrepreneur's starter kit" series you get to hear about what you absolutely need to do in order to ensure growth and see a difference in your bank account! And I share 4 questions with you that will tell you right away whether you are on the right track.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
Do you struggle to make money? Do you long to see a difference in your bank account? I know this can be frustrating! I've been there too. Maybe, like me, you might have tried all the things to see a difference: You have tried to live a frugal life style, to save up money or get out of debt but the impact just seems to be so little and slow! Do you have no money to afford your dreams let alone your repair bills, car loan, mortgage, college fund or retirement fund to name a few? Creating wealth does not happen over night. You need a lot of focus on the right things, like getting out of Debt, to organize your finances, come with a feasible plan to save money. Besides, you also need to make money, understand the use of money, biblical money principles and biblical wisdom in order to adopt better money habits. Only by changing your money beliefs / money mindset and taking focused action can you ever get there. If you struggle in this area, I am happy to help you with financial coaching. BTW Now, is a great time to do this because I have a super affordable Easter Promotion going on. If you reach out to me before 31 March 2024 I am happy to offer you 30% of my regular coaching prices! So, reach out to me to learn more: support@moonshot-entrepreneur.com

Hey my friend,
I know many Christians who hesitate to speak about money to other Christians. And even if they dare to bring up this topic at Church, many seem to associate money as a sinful thing. The quick conclusions seems to be that only greedy people think about money. Some might even hint at you that you are too attached to the things of the world, when you speak about making money, having a career or being successful. Why is that? Did Jesus teach us to be sloppy people with no ambition or drive? The other day I read a book cover by Billy Sticker, a Christian Entrepreneur "The church has done a great job teaching us how to give, but a poor job teaching us how to earn. There is a mindset throughout much of the church that money is evil." Sadly, I couldn't agree more. I don't think poverty is the virtue God is trying to instill in us. However, there is also the other extreme. The name it, claim it, abundance theory! Those who believe in the abundance theory claim that God will give us all the riches we desire, we only have to ask him to do so. Again, did Jesus teach us to strive to be rich and to hit God up for all the material blessings? So, how do we find the right money mindset that is founded on biblical principles? Should we feel bad for wanting to make money? As with many things in life, God looks at the heart and at our motives. That's why I explore in this episode, what a sound biblical money mindset looks like.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
Are you trying to make money but never see a difference in your bank account? I know this can be frustrating! I've been there too. There are different ways to make money. Not all are right for a Christian. While there are many ways to make money that are perfectly God-honoring, not all of them might be suitable for you. It has to match your time constraints, skills and your limitations regarding the money you are able to invest. You might be at a point in life where certain avenues are simply not feasible for you. So, should you give up the quest altogether? Should you throw in the towel and give up on the specific needs you are trying to meet with the extra money? In this episode I share with you the number one way to make Money. Not in 10 years, but starting from now!
I pray this blesses you.

Hey my friend,
Are you struggling financially? Maybe you are neck deep in debt. Or you are getting by but have not enough to really fulfill some of your biggest dreams. Wouldn't it be great if there were a FASTTRACK to making money? You'll agree with me that there is no lack of ads and people who tell you that they have found the fast track to make money! However, usually nobody tells you about the pitfalls that you need to navigate. In this episode I share with you how you can really find your "Fast Track" to making money without falling for a scam or being tempted into not doing this God's way.
I pray this blesses you.
