The Question Every swHw Mom Should Ask Her Kids

By |2020-05-08T15:37:42-04:00May 4th, 2017|Business, Family|

If you identify as a she works His way woman, I’m betting you thrive on accountability. From your walk with Christ, to your marriage, to your business, and probably even your health and fitness, I’m sure you have several accountability systems in place. But have you ever sought accountability from your kids? God has blessed me and my husband, James, with two sons and a new baby girl. Noah is six, Cole is three, and Shea is eight months. Michelle, they’re so young. What could you possibly get accountability from them about? Easy. I ask each of my boys (and I’ll start with Shea as soon as she can talk) a very simple question at least once a week: How do you feel about Mommy’s job? My wording choice never varies. I don’t want to know what they think about my job, or what they think I actually do. (Even though their answers to that question are pretty hysterical!) I want to know how my job makes them feel. About two months ago, Noah (who is my early riser) came downstairs about 5:45 am on a Friday. I normally get out of bed at 5:00 am, start the coffee [...]

Unforgettable Customer Service

By |2020-05-08T15:37:56-04:00April 25th, 2017|Business, Faith, Faith-Based Leadership|

Have you ever experienced terrible customer service? Or exceptional customer service? Both are unforgettable... but only exceptional customer service happens with intentionality. (I doubt many people who would like to keep their jobs seek to be terrible!) Customer service is crucial in business AND in ministry. I emphasize AND because often times, I feel like ministries leave this emphasis out. While "customer" may not pertain to the ministry, service is perhaps the most genuine way we can align ourselves with God's love. When someone emails or calls with questions or concerns, they should know by our reply that they are dealing with a Christian. And by that, I mean they should see that our mannerisms and attitude are like Christ. We are slow to anger. We are patient, and we listen to them. There have been many emails that I have received in my years of various customer service roles where my flesh wanted to immediately send them an email back and basically say.... “I’m sorry, but no.” But then, when tempted to anger, the Holy Spirit reminds me, "Teeny, what a great opportunity to show someone My grace." It’s been the times where I have shown grace to [...]

Top Five Habits for Personal Growth

By |2020-05-08T15:38:02-04:00April 20th, 2017|Business, Family|

Your business will stop growing when you do. Plain and simple. If you want your business to grow, you must also keep growing. Because personal growth is a passion point for me, I’d love to give you the top five habits (Yes, that means actions that are done repeatedly, not once!) that will keep you growing. Let’s dig in: Pray specifically. My prayers used to be pretty general: “Thank you, God, for everything You’ve given me. God, use me. God, help me pursue You in all things. God, be with my family.” While those aren’t bad prayers, I’ve found praying specifically has helped me increase intimacy with the Lord as I speak with Him like my trusted Father. For example, just this morning, I was praying for my oldest, Noah. Instead of just asking God to protect him and guide him, here is part of my prayer from my journal: “God, thank you so much for the responsibility of being Noah’s mom. Help me be the kind of earthly parent that continuously points him to You. God, I pray that He will accept Jesus Christ as His Savior at a young age and walk closely with You always. Help [...]

How To Catch The Eye Of Your Virtual Mentor

By |2020-05-08T15:38:07-04:00April 13th, 2017|Branding, Business|

One of the cool things about social media is that it’s opened doors for us to be able to communicate with people we look up to – those in our field, authors, speakers, business mentors. It’s an incredible opportunity. But is there a way to get their attention? Because after all, if there’s something that we really dig about them, wouldn’t they feel the same way about us? There’s only one thing that has worked for me to be able to score face-to-face time with people I’ve looked up to for years – from Christian authors to business gurus. And it’s not “wowing” them with what I do or with my work. It’s not asking them to promote me or my business. In fact, it’s exactly the opposite. These three tips are so simple, but many people overlook them. And it has had a 100% success rate for me. Here you go! Get involved in their work. Depending on the audience size of your virtual mentor, you may or may not be able to get a response from them on social media. But you dramatically increase your chances once you start doing business with them. If they have an [...]
