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

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 and get resentful towards your spouse. Why is he standing in the way? Or why is he so slow to understand! Do not fret my friend. In this episode I share 3 things to consider before you give up on your spouse or on your entrepreneurial idea. I share with you what will make navigating this tough phase easier.
I pray this blesses you.

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. As a result, you refuse to sign up for a training that you so desperately need or put of hiring an assistant for your new business even though you are drowning in work. Sometimes, it's wise to cut back. However, you are doing yourself a great disservice if you fail to invest now into something that will pay off in the long run. Managing your money well is so important. However, there is a difference between being thrifty and being just cheap. Let's say you have a car and never get it properly serviced. Sooner or later you it will break down because you did not take care of it at the proper time. Being in a financially tough spot can feel like you have no other options left on the table. I get this. I've been there too. But I am here to tell you today, that there you can invest in that training you so desperately need to up-skill yourself without breaking the bank. Nowadays, there are so many ways to get affordable help in your business and even around your home. This means however, that we have to overcome the mindset of "not having enough" and of "never being able to afford it". It's time for us to be resourceful. After all, isn't this one of the greatest business skills? Being resourceful and imaginative with what you have in order to create new services and increase profitability is what has made many businesses great. So, take this as a challenge. In today's episode I share with you 7 Hacks to overcome financially tough phases in your personal life through resourcefulness.
I pray this blesses you.

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? The struggle is REAL. I've been there too. I have also struggled so many times to do all the things and be all the things to everyone at the same time. It often left me feeling like a loser, especially when I realized that I had been mean to my little one because I was stressed out. Do you feel the same sometimes? On one hand you love your kids and you really want to spend time and be a great mum to your children. On the other hand, you are also passionate about business and really want to make it work. This does not have to be a contradiction. Nor are you supposed to have Mum guilt. I share with you 5 strategies to get rid of mom guilt!
I pray this blesses you.

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 Entrepreneur. What does it mean to be the Chief Financial Officer of your business? What do you need to be aware of? What kind of aspects do you have to think through when you make decisions? How do you make sure that you plan ahead and keep flexible at the same time to deviate from the plan when a new opportunity arises? You’ll know the answer at the end of this episode. Enjoy your listen.
I pray this blesses you.

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. Or, maybe you just feel that this is not relevant to you because the proverbs 31 woman sounds cray-cray and you are pretty sure that she is a complete workaholic! That was exactly my thought a few years ago. That is until I discovered that actually this woman is actual not for real, but that she is described as the ideal of a woman. The thing is however, that we cannot just brush over it just because she is an "ideal". When we dig deeper, we discover that she is actually a great role model for all Christian mom entrepreneurs who are trying to rock this show called life! Take a listen and learn the entrepreneur tips and life hacks from the bible. I promise you my friend, this ancient woman can really teach you some tricks!
I pray this blesses you.

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. During the summer break it is easier to forget about these things that make life so hard sometimes. However, as soon as you get back the latent fear comes back to mind that it's going to be hard once again. It's hard to put down the finger on the issue but somehow you feel that things are not going to be good for you after the break. My friends, It does not have to be that way. You do not have to be stressed out to go back to work - even if you happen to work in a toxic environment. Nor do you have to be overwhelmed with your family's schedule getting busier again. In this episode, I share with you 3 Time Management Tweaks that help you to retain the good things about the summer break - time to breathe, to be, to reflect and to enjoy spending time together. Do not worry my friend. Together, we can rock this show called life!
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
