Small Business Growth Tools | Sales, Marketing and Mindset Strategies for Christian Women in Local Business

If sales feels heavy, awkward, or just plain hard as a Christian woman running a small business, this episode is for you. We dive into why sales feels so uncomfortable and challenging, especially for female entrepreneurs who desire to integrate faith in business. You'll discover how your beliefs shape your sales experience and how to shift your mindset for natural, aligned, and easy sales that honor your values. We unpack the tension many women face between serving clients and needing to sell, and explain why sales doesn’t have to feel pushy or manipulative. Instead, it can be a form of leadership that reflects your faith and business growth goals. In this episode, you'll learn about the mindset shifts that remove pressure and create clarity, how faith, service, and sales can work harmoniously, and strategies for showing up confidently in your marketing and sales conversations without hesitation. You don't have to choose between kindness and confidence—you can serve and lead simultaneously. Actionable Takeaway: Pay attention to where you hesitate in sales conversations; those moments reveal beliefs that need to be transformed.

In today’s episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I’m joined by my friend Lissa Figgins from Redeem Her Time, and this conversation is for every woman who’s ever said: “I don’t have enough time.” Lisa calls herself an un-time management coach — because she believes time management isn’t the solution… it’s actually part of the problem. We talk about how hustle culture trains us to measure our worth by what we get done, why busyness becomes a signal to the people we love (“I’m not available”), and how God calls us to steward time — not white-knuckle it.

We also talk about: ROTI: Return on Time Invested Why being a “business owner” can quietly turn into being a “busyness owner” The biblical difference between managing and stewarding The 3 time shifts most people miss Why multitasking is not your superpower The question that changes everything: “What is it time for?” If you’ve been craving clarity, margin, and a better way to grow your business without burning out… press play.

As we close out 2025 and step toward a new year, I’m sharing something personal, prayer-led, and foundational for how I’m approaching business in 2026: my word of the year—UNCOMMON. In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I walk you through how God gave me this word early, what it means biblically and practically, and how it’s shaping the way I’m thinking about business growth, relationships, income, community, and obedience in the year ahead. If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, faith-led business owner, or small business leader who wants results that don’t come from hustle culture, burnout, or copying what everyone else is doing—this episode is for you. We talk about what it really looks like to be set apart in business, how to build uncommon relationships instead of chasing visibility, and why faith + profit belong together when stewardship is done well. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “uncommon” is my word for 2026 and how God revealed it What uncommon means biblically (set apart, distinct, not conforming to the world) How to pursue uncommon business results without doing more or being everywhere What uncommon looks like in: business relationships and community building serving clients with excellence and discernment income, stewardship, and money mindset Why uncommon businesses are built on relationships—not algorithms The difference between chasing money and stewarding revenue What I’m intentionally leaving behind in 2025 How obedience (not pressure) will define my strategy in 2026 Reflection questions to help you discern your word for the year Scripture referenced: Romans 12:2 – Do not conform to the pattern of this world Colossians 3:23–24 – Working with excellence as unto the Lord Resources mentioned: Screen-Free Challenge (21 Days) 👉 https://screenfreechallenge.biz A faith-based reset to remove social media from your phone and replace scrolling with sales and marketing actions that actually grow your business.

As we wrap up 2025, I want to invite you to pause before you jump into goal setting, business planning, or strategy for 2026. In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, we’re talking about the one thing you need to do before planning for next year—and it has nothing to do with sales funnels, marketing statistics, or even your client work. If you’re a small business owner, Christian entrepreneur, or faith-led leader who feels: discouraged about how this year went unsure whether it was a “good year” or a “bad year” stuck replaying mistakes, missed goals, or stress ready for growth but emotionally exhausted This episode is for you. I walk you through why our brains are wired to remember the hard things more than the good, how that affects how we evaluate our business and our lives, and how one simple reflection exercise can completely change how you remember this year—and how you plan the next one. In this episode, we cover: Why your brain remembers stress, mistakes, and fear more than wins The science behind negative memory bias and how it impacts entrepreneurs How faith and awareness help reframe how we evaluate our business year The one exercise you should do before setting business goals for 2026 Why reviewing your photos and calendar can shift your mindset instantly How false narratives (like “I didn’t do enough”) quietly sabotage confidence Why reflection should come before goal setting and strategic planning How to ask God what He wants for your business in the next season Faith-based encouragement for business owners coming out of a hard year Who this episode is for: Christian entrepreneurs and faith-led business owners Small business owners reflecting on the end of the year Entrepreneurs planning goals for 2026 Business owners struggling with burnout, discouragement, or comparison Leaders who want to grow their business without losing perspective or peace Key takeaway: Before you plan what’s next, take time to remember what actually happened. Your brain won’t automatically remember the good—you have to lead it there on purpose. This one step may completely change how you view 2025 and how you move into 2026.

Episode 97 – Do More of What Works: How to Stop the Hamster Wheel and Grow on Purpose Are you exhausted from doing all the things in your business… but not really seeing the results you want? In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, we’re wrapping up 2025 with a straight-talking, faith-fueled strategy session on one simple idea: If you want different results, you have to do more of what works—and stop doing what doesn’t. I share a powerful story Alex Hormozi told about a real estate agent who’s making roughly $13,000 an hour from Facebook Lives (yes, really)… and the wildly simple advice he gave her to scale. Then we pull that principle into your business and walk through: How to identify what’s actually working How to spot what’s not working (even if you like doing it) How to evaluate every task through a simple “sell or serve” filter Why stewardship—not hustle—is the real growth strategy for Christian entrepreneurs If you’re tired of running on the business hamster wheel and ready to act like the CEO and steward of your time, money, and gifts, this episode will give you the clarity (and the nudge) you need. In this episode, you’ll learn: 💡 The $10M Facebook Live example that proves you don’t always need a new strategy—you need more of what works 🧮 How to track where your leads and sales are actually coming from (without a complicated system) 🎯 The two questions I want you to ask about everything in your business: Does it help me sell? Does it help me serve? 🛑 Why some of your favorite activities might be secretly holding your business back 📈 How cutting just one low-ROI activity and reinvesting that time or money into a high-ROI one can create exponential growth 🙏 What it looks like to move from “managing” your business to stewarding it as a Christian entrepreneur Mentioned in this episode: Free Live Workshop: 3 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting a Business 📅 December 10, 2025 – 11:30 a.m. Central 👉 RSVP (and get the replay if you can’t join live): threethings.lindsayfletcher.co I’ll be teaching the three things that would have saved me years of spinning my wheels: How to set a simple, realistic plan How to get leads How to follow up in a way that actually leads to sales If you’re new here… I’m Lindsay, a business and sales strategist for faith-led small business owners who want to grow without burning out.

Today’s conversation with Gabe Cox from Red Hot Mindset was a masterclass in faith-fueled goals without hustle culture. We kicked off with a reminder that I’m hosting a free workshop on December 10th, where I’ll be teaching the three things I wish I’d known before starting a business — especially after starting and stopping (aka failing) five or six businesses before I figured out what actually works to bring in customers and get paid. Then we dove straight into the heart of this episode: You do not have to build your business the way “they” say you should. Living & Leading Outside of “Guru Culture” Gabe reintroduced herself as a goal-planning and business strategist who helps entrepreneurs craft personalized game plans that fit their season, capacity, and values. Not the guru playbook. Not what “everyone” says you have to do. She reminded us that everything starts with: Knowing your priorities and values Filtering every business decision through those Asking: Is this life-giving and sustainable for the long run? She shared her decision to get off social media, even though everyone says, “You have to be there to market.” For her, it came down to putting faith, family, and sustainability first and trusting that God’s strategy may not look like the industry’s strategy. Flexibility, Faith, and “Blessed Are the Flexible” We talked about having direction with flexibility — letting God adjust the plan as you go. Gabe quoted one of my new favorite sayings: “Blessed are the flexible, for they will never be bent out of shape.” She shared how often we “Abraham and Sarah” our businesses: we hear a promise, we believe God kind of, and then we rush in and try to force the outcome in our own way and on our own timeline. That story from Genesis became a mirror for business: We start out trusting God. We get impatient. We force outcomes. We create detours we were never meant to take. The invitation: have a plan, but consult God on the plan and stay open-handed enough to let Him redirect it.

Andee Hart, host of She Sells Differently, joins host Lindsay Fletcher to talk about incorporating faith in business, selling in alignment with her Christian values, managing the resources that God has given us, and viewing earning money as gift from God to serve, help, and provide for the needs of others. Andee also shares about the psychology of product pricing and how a lower price doesn't always mean more sales. Andee Hart is an energetic entrepreneur, sales strategist, mentor, and host of the podcast, She Sells Differently. While working as a sales executive for a Fortune 500 company, Andee started a passion project, Hart Design Co., of candle making in her own kitchen. What started out as a side hustle with her candles in a handful of local boutiques quickly blossomed into a wildly successful wholesale business and store-front. Within a year, Andee was able to transition from her corporate career to full-time entrepreneurship due to her tenacity, engaging social media presence, and counter-cultural strategies that enable her businesses to thrive in competitive markets. Andee’s mission is to empower women to overcome sales anxiety and grow their businesses with integrity, grace, and humility.

The Year-End Client Check-In As the year wraps up, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush of holiday sales, promotions, and endless to-do lists. But what if one of the most powerful things you could do for your business in November and December isn’t about selling more—it’s about connecting better? In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, we’re talking about how to reconnect, nurture, and re-engage with your current and past clients so you can strengthen relationships, open doors for future opportunities, and start 2026 on solid ground.

Action Step: This week, pull out your client list and highlight 10–15 people you can meaningfully reconnect with before the end of the month. Schedule these out!

If you’ve ever hesitated to follow up with a lead because you didn’t want to sound “pushy,” this episode is for you.

Check out our new in-person meeting https://webuild.lindsayfletcher.co Download 5 Prayers for Your Small Business https://prayer.lindsayfletcher.co Episode 87 of How to Grow My Small Business is a special one. Today, I’m sharing 5 powerful prayers for business owners because as Christian entrepreneurs, our faith and our work are deeply connected. Running a small business can feel overwhelming at times. There are sales goals to hit, relationships to build, strategies to create, and endless tasks pulling at your attention. But as believers, we know that prayer is the foundation of everything we do. When we seek God’s wisdom and align our businesses with His Kingdom purpose, we can move forward with peace, confidence, and clarity. In this episode, I’ll walk you through five Scripture-inspired prayers you can use daily or in moments when you need direction, encouragement, or fresh vision. These prayers focus on: Habits and routines that draw us closer to God and closer to success in business. Multiplication of resources, relationships, and Kingdom impact. Christ-like relationships with customers, employees, and communities. Vision and boundaries that allow us to thrive where God has planted us. Obedience to God’s plan, even when it doesn’t make sense on the surface. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep your faith at the center of your business, or you’re craving prayers that go beyond generic blessings and actually speak to the challenges of entrepreneurship, this episode will encourage you and equip you.

You’re not alone. As small business owners, we’re often told that success only comes from hustling harder, working 24/7, and showing up on every single platform. But here’s the truth: hustle culture is a lie, and it’s costing you your peace, your joy, and sometimes even your profits. In today’s episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I’m getting real about hustle culture, margin, and why constantly being “busy” isn’t the badge of honor we think it is. Instead of cramming 20 pounds of potatoes in a five-pound sack (yes, I’ve been guilty of that!), I want to show you how to break free from overcommitment, set boundaries, and create space to breathe in both your life and your business. We’ll talk about: The symptoms of hustle culture you might be experiencing right now (think exhaustion, snapping at loved ones, or feeling out of control). The roots of busyness—fear of failure, pride, misplaced identity—and how they might be driving your decisions. Biblical examples of rest and margin that model how we’re meant to live and lead, not hustle endlessly. Practical ways to create space in your business, from delegating tasks like bookkeeping or social media to evaluating your calendar and cutting what doesn’t serve you. How margin can fuel creativity, problem-solving, and long-term growth in your business. If you’ve ever woken up already overwhelmed, ended your day still exhausted, or felt like you can’t keep up no matter how much you accomplish, this episode will encourage you to step off the hamster wheel and choose a better way. It’s time to unsubscribe from hustle culture and start running your business with strategy, clarity, and margin. Let’s break up with busy—together.

https://momentum.lindsayfletcher.co Episode 84: Audit Your Time and Energy to Prepare for Q4 We’re heading into Q4—the final stretch of the year—and whether your business has felt smooth or messy, this is your chance to reset, refocus, and finish the year strong. But before you make a big plan, you need to know where your time and energy are really going. In this episode of How to Grow My Small Business, I’m walking you through a practical exercise to audit your time, your energy, and your money makers so you can make better decisions about what to keep, what to delegate, and what to cut before heading into Q4. Because here’s the truth: if you don’t know where your time is going, you can’t manage it. And if you don’t know what drains your energy, you can’t protect it. Both are essential to running a small business that doesn’t leave you exhausted and overwhelmed. This is an episode you’ll want to grab a notebook for! What you’ll learn in this episode: How to track your time (and the surprising places it might actually be going) Why energy is just as important as hours when planning your week How to identify the money-making activities in your business The 3 categories every task should fall into: prioritize, delegate, or cut How to align your time and energy with your top Q4 priorities so you end the year strong Quotes from the episode: “If you don’t know where your time is going, you can’t manage it. And if you don’t know what drains your energy, you can’t protect it.” “Not all hours are equal—some tasks energize you, others drain you. Build your calendar around energy, not just time.” “When you know your money makers, you can prioritize what actually moves your business forward and stop wasting energy on the rest.” If you’re ready to finish Q4 with focus instead of distraction, this episode will give you the clarity and tools to do it. And if you’re a female entrepreneur who wants ongoing support, accountability, and a community of women working on the same things, check out my group coaching membership She Builds Momentum at momentum.lindsayfletcher.co.

This is Episode 77, and we’re tackling a question I hear all the time: “Why isn’t my offer selling?” You’ve posted about it. You’ve talked about it. You’ve put it on your website.
