So WHOOPS this episode was supposed to come out the day before the election but things got switched up! I can blame 2020 right?? BUT things don’t have to be perfect, and even though it’s been almost a week since the election, I still feel like this podcast is very relevant to what we are experiencing as a country! If you have been experiencing anxiety, and wondering how we will forward, I have a message for you! When the world feels out of control, Jesus is still King. 

Would you rather be right or righteous? One is God-centered and the other is to be self-centered. Between the election and the holiday season, there will be many opportunities to be right or righteous. At the end of the day, being one or the other all comes down to decisions and choices. I hope this episode encourages you follow your faith and make the choice to do what's best in God's eyes.

Today I’m interviewing bestselling author and host of the popular “The Happy Hour with Jamie Ivey” podcast. We are talking about her new book, You Be You: Why Satisfaction and Success Are Closer Than You Think. We talk about what it truly means to be successful as a Christian woman, and why we don’t need to mimic or be jealous of someone else’s life or calling. I hope this interview with Jamie Ivey inspires you and motivates you to walk on the path that God has laid out uniquely for you! 

Most of you know that we recently did a five-day challenge, but what you might not know is that Team Allwood experienced major spiritual warfare that week. While many women were getting a breakthrough, it felt like our team was being hit with spiritual warfare on every side. Friend, every time you go to a new level, you will be hit with resistance. I want to encourage you during those tough times that God is with you and will empower you to keep fighting. 

I asked a while ago if you would like a podcast talking about how I’m praying during the election season and I wanted to share that with you as we get closer to voting. I know the world feels crazy right now but remember that the battle is not with flesh and blood but of the spirit. We need to remember who the real war is against; and it’s not your neighbor with opposing viewpoints. God is still on the throne.

Has anyone else been super frustrated with how we have SIX different apps just to use all of Facebook's features? You may have noticed Facebook recently updated from Creator Studio to Facebook Business Suite app...I hate it but my social media manager Mackinzie Burke loves it—and that's just one of MANY apps Facebook uses...so I'm bringing her on the podcast with me today to tell you how, when, and why to use each app for your small business! 

Lately, I’ve been waking up regularly in the middle of the night feeling like I need to pray. I’ve been hearing many of you say the same thing as well! Friends, If the Lord is waking you up in the middle of the night, he might be entrusting you to pray over someone or something happening in your life, or the world around you. I do not have a degree in theology, but I know that God is not random, so if you are a Christian waking up at night these tips might be helpful to you about what to pray!

If you’ve been thinking about creating a challenge on Facebook then you’re going to want to learn these lessons I learned from my first ever Facebook challenge! We decided done was better than perfect, and let me tell you, the Boost Your Biz Facebook Challenge ended up being a whole lot of fun!!! So today, I’m doing a deep dive into what you need to know about creating a challenge on Facebook so YOU can rock your next Facebook challenge for your business!

Today I'm talking to you about what I learned from the War Room, which was part of my five day Boost Your Biz Challenge. Many small business owners want to grow their business with a sexy strategy. But friends, if you don’t have your mind/heart right first, your business and personal development will leave you feeling stuck. A business isn’t just the technical stuff—your mind, body, and spirit will also determine your small business's success.

Today I’m giving you my Black Friday predictions and giving you advice on what you need to do to prepare for Black Friday as a small business owner. This year, EVERYTHING is going to be different for the shopping season. A lot of businesses will be closed for in-person shopping and will move everything online. So as a small business owner, how can you compete with the big stores and prep your own business for maximum Black Friday sales? Let’s get into it!

This week in my Inner Circle call, I had two different women talk about how they are afraid to take action. One woman said she is nervous to throw her first in-person painting party since COVID, another said she has lost her confidence since it's been so long since she's done anything in her business because of COVID. Perhaps you find yourself in the same position, you know something has been on pause that you need to restart. So today I’m giving three ways to help you get restarted when you feel stuck.

Today on the podcast I’m introducing you to my new friend, Aaron Walker. Aaron started his first business at 18 and sold it to a Fortune 500 company nine years later. Since then he has started 12 other successful companies and now he's sharing his wisdom and expertise with us. What I love about Aaron is that even though he has had so much financial success, he knows without relational significance—it doesn’t matter. If you're on your business journey, listen in...I know it'll encourage you!

Today I want to unpack a word the Lord gave me, which was “don’t miss the window.” Right now I see a window for every business owner willing to make a pivot into the online space. The window of opportunity is open for those of you to repair relationships and accomplish something that God has for you that you’ve been ignoring.  I don’t care what negativity you’re hearing right now - God is still on the throne and in control. Don’t lose an opportunity because you are too slow to act, friend. 

This podcast is for the woman who is scared to sell or feels stuck when it comes to business and finances. I want to go over some money mindsets reasons why you are not charging enough for your services. Sometimes, you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s why I’m going over four reasons why you may not be charging enough or working for free. I hope this podcast frees you of some of the mindsets holding you back in your business!
