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?

Hi friend,
Are you spending your summer being anxious and worried about your future? If you are stressed about right now, this week's episode is absolutely for you.
A couple of weeks ago I was driving myself crazy because of the work load and the different areas I have to juggle in my life. I clearly had underestimated a few things and forgotten to plan in time to get some things done before the summer break! As I was freaking out, God reminded me to be still in him. He led me to remember how God has showed up for me in the past - specifically in the first 6 months of this year. As I thought about how he has showed up for me my attitude started to change. I could notice that gratefulness and peace was kicking in. I can recommend you to do the same and take an inventory of the first six months of this year - even if you are not under stress. How has God showed up for you? This is an excellent reflection we all should do half way through the year.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hi friend,
Are you spending your summer regretting that you have never become an entrepreneur? Do you have "everything lined up" but just lack a great idea?!
Don't drive yourself crazy anymore my friends! I know how this feels because I have been there too. There have been so many days where I kept scrolling and researching great business ideas to get inspired. However, I often just kept re-discovering the same ideas like drop shipping, authoring a book or selling products online. Then, I discovered that I need to be more systematic, disciplined and audacious to get to the "right idea". In this episode I share with you 3 very easy steps to generate 55+ business ideas in under 1 hour!
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hi friend,
I am so excited to start a summer series with topics to help you thrive and re-charge during this summer.
Summer is just absolutely fabolous! :-) I so love this season. The days are longer and no matter where you look our world is budding and blooming. Somehow, there is just more of a can-do attitude inside of me. I dare to venture out for bigger and smaller adventures during this special time. It's also a great opportunity to spend time as a family thanks to school summer vacations.
However, sometimes Summer can get over faster than I like. Do you sometimes feel the same? Does your summer get overloaded? Or, perhaps even boring? If yes, it's time to take a closer look at the way you plan your summer. If your summer is filled with tasks and activities without taking YOU and YOUR NEEDS into consideration, your joy will get sucked out of your life so quickly! In this episode, I share with you the ultimate summer bucket list with 6 ideas to truly fuel your soul! If you consider these 6 ideas or categories as you plan your summer, you will come out at the other end rejuvenated and ready to grab the bull by it's horns :)
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hi friend,
Has it been a long time since you have been excited about your life? You don't know what the reason for this is. You just seem to feel so unhappy and miserable right about everything in your life! Believe me when I tell you that I know this feeling first hand. I was having a rough phase a couple of years ago. I was having a hard time at work. After a change in the company structure I had to do stuff which I did not like doing at all. After coming home I used to be so beat up that I did not have it in me to play with my daughter, let alone have conversation with my spouse or even do the dishes. I just felt so miserable because I felt that I have no passion in me. I did not feel like doing anything. There were days when I was just going through the motions but in reality I was feeling so terribly disappointed and discontent about how things had turned out for me. Maybe you are at a similar place today. Maybe you had a big dream a few years ago but something happened along the way that threw you out of the game. And it may well be that added to this you are struggling with feelings of shame and guilt because you seem not to be "able" to be happy in your life. I want you to know that every person goes through these rough phases of desperation at times. That is why I share with you today 3 simple steps to get you out of the funk. You will walk away from this episode having the tools to thrive and take the action steps to turn your life around.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hi friend,
Are you googling business ideas for inspiration? Are you frustrated because you want to be an entrepreneur but you have no idea which business idea to pick? Let's stop the madness! There is one easy formula that can help you to assess a business idea in 5 Minutes or less. Today, I will share a very useful tool in the toolbox for entrepreneurs and investors. It is called the Value Creation Formula. Using this formula you will find out the key driver's of the success (or failure) of a business. In 5 Minutes or less, you will know whether you should consider investing in the business or even picking up the same business model as you start out as an entrepreneur. Find out if it is worth spending even more time than 5 minutes contemplating the idea using this formula. After listening to this episode, you will not feel paralyzed anymore. Looking at different business opportunities will actually become quite fun and a piece of cake for you! :-)
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hi friend,
You feel the urge to be an entrepreneur but have no clue how to find the right business idea?! Have you looked at different ideas but somehow felt that you are not up for the task. Maybe the idea sounds really interesting at first but somehow there is this strange feeling within you. Somehow the idea does not sit right with you. Perhaps you don't know if you have the skills it takes or you are wondering whether you could come up with the funds. If you are wondering whether you really have what it takes, you should really listen to this episode. I share 5 easy steps with you which help you to vet any business idea which comes your way. Using these 5 steps you will be able to find out if a specific business idea will work for you. After all, not every business idea fits every person. So, take a listen to learn how to find the ONE IDEA which fits you (and your life) the best.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hi friend,
Have you ever been in this situation. You see your friend or a colleague struggling in a bleak situation but you don't quite know what to say. Maybe they are not a Christian and you hesitate to share the word of God with them. Or you try to be there but something just feels off because you feel you have nothing to offer. Let me share this truth with you. No matter who you are or what you do for a living - you are still a Christian. As a Christian we bring something of Christ's love and peace into every situation AND it does NOT matter whether the other person really believes in God or doesn't. I went to a funeral ministry workshop a few weeks ago and was expecting to learn about funerals and caring for those who have lost a loved one. I returned realizing that funeral ministry is just another area of showing the world that Jesus is for real. I took away many lessons which are not just applicable in funeral ministry but are really important applications for my day-to-day life. I want to share these insights with you, because I believe that being aware about them helps us to do life in a more fruitful and conscious way. These lessons help you, not just to be a Christian for yourself (privately) but to become a "Christian First Responder" in all the situations life throws at you.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana

Hi friend,
Do you love God but sometimes struggle to see what it means to be a Christian in your day-to-day life? Maybe you are working at a burger joint, binding up wounds in a hospital or typing away e-mails for a living. Whoever you are and whatever you do for a living - you are still a Christian and we are all called to be followers of Christ in our daily life. I went to a funeral ministry workshop two weeks ago and was expecting to learn about funerals and caring for those who have lost a loved one. I learned a lot about that. BUT most of all I realized that funeral ministry is just another area of showing the world that Jesus is for real. I took away many lessons which are not just applicable in funeral ministry but are really important applications for my day-to-day life. I want to share these insights with you, because I believe that being aware about them helps us to do life in a more fruitful and conscious way.
I pray this blesses you.

Hi friend,
Were you excited to get up on Monday and go to work? Do you feel satisfied and content when you come home? Or do you rather even lack the energy to move once you are back and feel all your life juices have been sucked out of you?!
I did a poll recently and an overwhelming 260 people said that the number one reason for them to stay in their current job is that it pays their bills. But is it really worth it?! I know for a fact, that they are probably not factoring in the cost of staying in the job. Whether to stay in a job or not does not just have to be a pure emotional decision nor should you decide to stay purely because you think it pays you enough. When you do the math you might be surprised to discover, that this job is not the best option for you after all. In this episode I teach you how to get the balance right when you make a decision regarding job opportunities. Businesses calculate the opportunity cost of different investment opportunities to find out which opportunity they should fund and which they shouldn't. I applied that principle to the day-to-day decisions we make in terms of how we want to make income. In this episode I teach you to calculate the true cost you are paying to stay in a job which supposedly pays you enough. In the Moonshot Entrepreneur Facebook Group I also got the Opportunity Cost Calculator which I created ready - just for you! You can go to the group and download the calculator (see the link to the facebook group below). It's an easy tool which will show you black and white whether it is worth to continue to stay in that job or whether there is a great alternative.
I pray this blesses you.
Cheers,
Archana
