1. Discover Your Gifts:
   Create intentional time for just you and God outside of your regular practice. If you can take a solo staycation for the weekend to shut out the World, amazing! A day in quiet at home or in nature. “Find your Mountain” — Even Jesus went to the mountain. He is eager for some time alone on the high hills near Bethsaida Matthew 14:13
   Reflect on everything that you are naturally good at — skills, talents, and passions.
   
   Ask God: “How am I meant to best serve others with these gifts you have given me?”

   Take notes in a special notebook for reflection, visions, songs, words, names, and symbols that come up for you.

2. Get Clarity On Who You Are Called To Serve: Identify the people you are meant to benefit with your skills and gifts. Being super clear about who it is will be a major success factor to ensure you are targeting and speaking to the right people. The people who are around you right now are most likely NOT your target demographic and audience. Remember that Jesus had to leave his hometown to share his teachings. The ones closest to you in your life might be the least supportive. Be good with that because that meeting you just had with God — it’s just for you, not a conference call.

3. Create An Amazing High-Value Offer: Design a service, product, or program that solves a real problem for the people you are called to support. Allow this to come to you as a seed and grow over days or weeks. Stay committed to checking back in daily to pray on it — nurture and grow it. Your purpose aligns perfectly with someone’s need here on Earth. They are praying for you to release this!!

4. Build A Simple, Authentic Brand: If you are a Woman reading this, it is naturally within God’s design for us to be influential. Anything we do, wear, speak, practice, and embody is our personal brand. It’s that simple. If you were colors what would they be? If you were a font, adjectives what are they? Pinterest is a nice place to gather a board of visuals in one place. Search branding mood boards, and pin the images that you feel a pull towards. Be conscious and aware of what you love about the imagery, fonts, and colors. Being as authentically YOU as God made you to be will effortlessly attract your people who are praying for you.

Here is a chat gpt prompt to copy and paste to go deeper:

"Acting as my brand architect I’d like your expertise in creating an authentic brand profile. I am going to share some specific information about me, and my new brand, my purpose and goals first.
Ready?

Wait for ChatGPT response.

Then type everything in your vision, purpose, intentionally use words that describe your tone and personality, all the details on your heart.

Here is a sample: I’m a woman passionate about teaching finance, budgeting, and money management with a God-centered perspective. I want to empower other women, especially those in their 20s and 30s, to be empowered financially while aligning their decisions with God’s purpose for their lives. I love shopping at Anthropologie, spending weekends at the farmers market, and finding joy in the simple, intentional things in life. My goal is to make money management approachable, relatable, and even enjoyable, offering one-on-one coaching, group workshops, and digital resources like e-books and courses. I value clarity, practicality, and faith, and I want my brand to feel supportive, uplifting, and stylishly grounded in God’s truth. Can you help me create a mission statement, tagline, and ideas for content themes that reflect this?"

Then copy and paste this:

1. Who the Brand Represents: Share details about the individual, their values, personality, mission, and unique qualities.

2. Target Audience: Describe the ideal audience, their interests, pain points, and aspirations.

3. Brand Goals: Explain what the brand aims to achieve (e.g., inspire trust, promote a product, build a community).

4. Preferred Style and Tone: Mention any preferences for how the brand should come across (e.g., professional, conversational, vibrant).

5. Key Elements: Highlight what you want the brand to include, like a logo, tagline, content ideas, or messaging themes.”

6. What free digital media marketing should I begin with to speak to them and what content suggestions do you have?

Feel free to ask for specific deliverables, like a brand mission statement, social media bio, or messaging pillars. This can and should be really fun.

5. Use Free Organic Digital Marketing To Begin Selling: Use the tools that are free and available to speak to your people. Strategy is key here, but perfection depending on the platform you choose is not required. Focus on one or two platforms only depending on where your target demographic is spending their time begin there with a content plan.

6. Serve With Excellence & Gratitude: Go above and beyond to serve your first clients or customers, building relationships and a reputation rooted in love, trust, care, and integrity are so important. This is how people speak of you in the rooms you aren’t even standing in, word of mouth is so powerful. Happy clients share their stories without you even asking for reviews, they are so excited to share their experience that had with your product or service to the world. The ones you are meant to serve likely have a circle of friends who need your product, service, and offering too!

7. Tithe, Invest & Scale: Before income even flows in ask God where you should give to first, reinvest back into tools and education that will help you grow, and expand your reach while staying aligned and focused on your Why — circle back to #1 do not lose sight of this mission. Stay disciplined, diligent, and aligned with your purpose. Giving doesn’t have to be just money generated, perhaps you are called to gift your services to those who need it, but don’t have the means to afford it right now. Open your heart to all the ways God can use you as a tool to bless others.
