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,
I was in the woods for about a year, my friends! I hit my rock bottom in 2023. Recovery was not easy and as you will discover in this episode, it does neither mean that my outward circumstances have changed for the good. In this episode I speak about the good that happened in my heart. I share how God equipped me to deal with multiple forest fires that are raging at the same time without losing sight of what he is able to do. If you have started this year in crisis, you absolutely need to listen in.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
I hit my rock bottom, and I hit it hard in 2023! The surprising thing is however, that I hit rock bottom AFTER I seemed to have overcome all the crises that were thrown at me. It seemed like everything had worked out well. But that was when the proverbial final nail in the coffin triggered me to completely crash on the inside! I felt depleted of all passion, energy and love. I will be honest with you: It got really ugly. I got bitter, frustrated, hopeless and mad about my life. Today, I will share with you how I was looking for answers, lost my vision of God along the way and finally found peace during my spiritual valley.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
Have you ever hit rock bottom? Have you been in a situation where you have dealt with crisis after crisis? It's been a hot minute since you've heard from me (about a year!). I was not vacationing in case you were wondering. I hit my rock bottom, and I hit it hard! I will share with you all the good, the bad and the ugly about hitting rock bottom in a three part series. Today, in Part 1, I will share with you how my world crumbled in the end of 2022 and how God led me to take a big leap of faith. I will share with you the lessons I learned over a period of 3-4 months.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
The year is almost over. Were you shocked to see that it's already December and that you have not worked in a very important goal? There can be different reasons why we find ourselves in a situation like that. Maybe that was due to procrastination or maybe life just happened. But hey, it is never too late to take action. If you are doing your year-end business planning even only now, it is still not too late to take action. And it is also the perfect time for you to listen in to this episode. I share with you an example from my own life where I dropped the ball when it came to working on my one high-importance goal for 2022. However, I don't stop there. I also share with you my process of achieving considerable progress on my goal before Christmas and the end of this year. This episode will fuel you with new energy and focus and help you to achieve at the very least a good chunk of your goal. So buckle up and take action with me!
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
You take meeting notes and yet a few weeks later you completely forgot what you had decided at the meeting? Or you attend a great, really inspiring speaking event and promise to yourself that you are going to implement the lessons you learned. However, when you look back a few weeks later there is nothing but tumble weeds and dust bunnies in your head? No matter how hard you try you can't remember what you actually wanted to do? Let me just tell you this my friend. It is not your fault! This happened to me too for the most part of my career. Recently, I came across a new way of taking meeting notes and speaking event notes. Now, don't check out thinking that you are already doing this. Because I really believe that you might be taking notes but not the right way. I promise you: With just half a page of meeting notes you will be able to retain more information and take real action if you use the method I teach you in this episode.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hey my friend,
The end of this business year is approaching fast. Maybe you have just started out this year on your entrepreneurial journey. Or maybe you have not started yet and are still considering whether you want to become an Entrepreneur somewhere down the road. No matter where you are in your journey, being an entrepreneur requires a certain set of skills. I know this from my personal experience as a sidepreneur and from my experience from working closely with startups and entrepreneurs in my professional life. In this episode, I look at the #1 skill that all SUCCESSFUL entrepreneurs have in common. I discovered that those who do not have this one skill often fail somewhere down the road. I do not want you to be one of them. If you do not have this skill yet, you definitely need to work on it. If you already have it, you very likely still have to sharpen and perfect it. I recommend that you take time to think about this skill as we are approaching the end of this year. Because 2023 is coming around and this #1 skill will help you to be successful on your journey from employee to sidepreneur, and then from sidepreneur to entrepreneur.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

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 need to be able to pay yourself (and your employees). And what do you do if someone falls ill and is not able to work for a prolonged period? By the way, you also need to make a profit, right? I know all this can be really overwhelming, since I have been there too. In this episode I share with you the elements you need to consider to build a financial safety net around your business.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

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 profile on the thing you are doing. Maybe you do not share about what God has called you to do because you feel you are not good enough. You might feel like an imposter. Or you might be hearing your inner voice telling you: Who am I to do this? How can I dare to do this since I am just not good enough. If that is you, it's time to listen to this episode because I am going to share with you the secret of gaining confidence as an entrepreneur.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

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 share what the guiding principles are as you make decisions regarding the expense side of your business. What do you have to watch out for as you make your operational decision? Do you have to say 'no' to every form of expense in order to "save money"? What are some free tools you can use for your business? All this and much more will be answered in the episode today.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana
