If you’re an entrepreneur, you have had one of those days when you think, “I’m just gonna go get me a ‘REAL JOB’, pay off my debt and be done!” When you have a business bestie, upon hearing this statement, they may respond with a prayer over you and then follow up with rapid fire humorous gifs. This happened in in our relationship. Listen to this episode to hear Edie tell a hilarious recounting of this situation that recently occurred with us. Sometimes, only another business owner can possibly understand what you’re going through. This was one of those times. With the hardest of seasons, paralysis can set in and prevent us from making any moves. Leaning in to God and conversations with Him will bring the peace you’re chasing.

Has a book every changed the way you do something? We believe that once you hear about the book Grace Over Grind, you will order it, read it and then understand why we recommend it to every business owner. Our 'hustle' culture has fed us this lie about what it takes to do business. What they don't know and Shae Bynes does, is that when we work in partnership WITH God, there is no hustle. To hustle means we are leaving God out of the equation. Listen in to understand more about this book. When you read it, we'd love to hear your thoughts.

In this Episode, you will hear how Edie and Jennifer have been obedient to follow the leading of Holy Spirit and what that looks like on a practical level. Their stories are very different.

Do you journal? If so, why? If not, why not? Edie and Jennifer both journal as a means of processing thoughts, goals, feelings and reflecting. They use it to bring liberty and freedom. We believe in and encourage journaling. Yes, it's personal but it's also a great resource for entrepreneurs to go back and see where the hand of God moved on their behalf. Listen in as they discuss:  How often they journal. How long they've been journaling. How many different journals do they use. Prayer journals.(From the book: Draw the circle by Mark Batterson) Celebration journals Reviewing journals and how each of them do it and why. Why it is so helpful, important and relevant for entrepreneurs to journal. Writing as opposed to typing on computer What are we going to do with them?
