I recently heard someone say that you can't develo I recently heard someone say that you can't develop real relationships online, and I could barely hold myself back. I know it's possible to develop real relationships online because I've done it myself, and I've seen many others do the same. But it's important to develop these relationships authentically, without ulterior motives. What is one tip you would give to someone wanting to build relationships online? #shineonline #podcasts #podcastservices #podcastprojectmanager #risingtidesociety #podcastconsultant #podcastlaunch #podcastsupport #podcastmovement #shineonline #podcasts #podcastservices #podcastprojectmanager #risingtidesociety #podcastconsultant #podcastlaunch #podcastsupport #podcastmovement #christianbusiness #christianbusinessowner #christianbusinesscoach #christianentrepreneur #christianentrepreneurs #christianencouragement #faithbasedbusiness #christiangirlboss #jesusgirlbossbabe #faithoverfear #faithinspired
If I could pick just one thing to do to grow my bu If I could pick just one thing to do to grow my business online, it would be this: developing relationships. I can attribute so much of my success in the online space to the relationships and connections I've developed over the years. Yes, I've used marketing strategies and systems and tools. But it all goes back to the real, genuine relationships I've developed with real people. Have you found the same to be true?
I live and breathe strategy. Whenever someone has I live and breathe strategy. Whenever someone has an exciting new idea or vision, my first thought is... "how are we going to do that?" Sometimes this is problematic because it can be a downer to the person with the big idea. But in the long run, it really helps the big idea to actually happen when you take time to create the strategy. Talking with other business owners about the challenges they are having or the vision they want to see happen and helping them create a strategy is so much fun to me. So that's why I'm including strategy sessions on my Christian Woman Business Podcast. So far I've had the pleasure of talking with @shelleymadueme as well as @kylietorstad. Shelley has an established business but is launching a new project and needs to grow an audience from scratch. And Kylie recently started her life coaching biz and wants to start taking on clients. Have you checked out these strategy sessions on the podcast? If so, were there any takeaways you had from the conversations? I'd love to know!
There’s often a tension for Christian business o There’s often a tension for Christian business owners in terms of how to incorporate their faith into their business: we want to be open about our faith and shine the light of Jesus into a dark world, but we also want to serve our clients and customers well without turning people off. What’s the best way to do this, and is there one “right” way? In episode 6 of the Christian Woman Business Podcast, I shared my thoughts about 3 different ways you can incorporate your faith into your business. • Your audience/clients/customers • Your business offers (content or services) • You as the business owner If you’re a faith based business owner, in what ways have you incorporated faith into your biz?
This morning I was reading a journal entry from la This morning I was reading a journal entry from last fall. I was writing about how I wanted to make changes in my business and have time to focus on what is most important to me. And while it's certainly not perfect, I'm thrilled to say that I've been able to do that so much more in the recent months. A big reason for that has been the benefits my business has experienced due to my audience growth. You see, audience growth isn't just about numbers. It's not about getting more followers on social media just so that people see those stats. Rather, audience growth is about having the ability to make a bigger impact. It's about reaching more people with the message you have to share. It's about connecting with people and solving problems for them. Audience growth is truly about real relationships with real people. And when you do those things, the income will follow. When I talk about audience growth, sometimes I'm concerned people will think I'm talking about it just for the sake of vain numbers. No. That's not what I'm about. What I'm about is helping you take your message and reach the right people who need that message... with effective systems and strategies so that you can stop guessing what will work. My 8 week group coaching program for Christian business owners and content creators is closing enrollment today. I'd love to have you join me. Send me a DM if you'd like more info.
When Janell came to me looking for help on how to When Janell came to me looking for help on how to focus and create a plan to grow her podcast, I knew exactly how she felt. I remember the feeling of having limited time but deep passion to share the message God had given me. And I remember feeling like I needed to be doing ALL. THE. THINGS. in order to grow my audience. We worked together recently, and this is what Janell said: “Esther Littlefield is fantastic. The work that she has helped me with has been at just the right time. She has been so helpful in strategic planning. She's gone over and above with everything she's done. She under promised, overdelivered, and I am so thankful. It was money well spent to work with her and I feel supported, appreciated, and eager to work with her again." I had so much fun working with Janell, and I used many of the principles and strategies that I'll be teaching in my new program that I just announced: The Shine Online Audience Accelerator. This program is an 8-week LIVE group coaching experience where you’ll gain clarity and take action leading to business and audience growth. It's designed for Christian entrepreneurs and content creators who want to grow an audience so that they can move their business and dreams forward. Just like my work with my Janell, my goal will be to under promise and over deliver to the particpants in this program. The free training about growing your audience AND where I introduced the program is still available for a couple more days. Just shoot me a message if you're interested in checking it out! Or, if you're a reader rather than a video watcher, just let me know you want the link for the details in writing.
When I first started out in the online space, and When I first started out in the online space, and even for the first couple years, I was trying LOTS of different strategies and methods. I jumped into a mastermind before I had some of the basics down. I also followed some amazing mentors but they didn’t have the same faith and values framework as me, which led me to feeling frustrated about some of the methods being taught. What I really needed was guidance from someone who recognized that each person and business is different, as well as how foundational my faith was to my business and life. That's why I'm so excited to announce my new 8-week group coaching program, the Shine Online Audience Accelerator. In this program, my goal is to give you what I wish I had a couple years ago. After over 5 years of working full time online with dozens of clients, as well as growing my podcast, email list, and audience consistently, I am confident that I can provide you with both strategy and hands-on support to do the same. The program will also focus on how our faith is foundational to our business and life, as well as helping you set up your business around your life (rather than the other way around). We already have several women who have jumped in, and I could not be more excited to kick things off the week of July 6th. Yesterday I offered a free training on how to accelerate your audience growth, and I shared about this program at the end. So just shoot me a message if you'd like to check out the replay or want more details on the coaching program.
You want to create a successful business, but have You want to create a successful business, but have you considered what you want your life to look like? Many people jump into creating their business goals, strategic plans, and marketing plans before thinking about one very important factor: your ideal life. As we kick off the summer season, I wanted to bring this conversation to you, because I learned the hard way. I found myself with a successful business, but without much freedom or flexibility in my personal life. In episode 7 of the Christian Woman Business Podcast, I share with you the first thing you need to know in order to create the life and business you want. Plus I've got a free PDF download that goes along with this so you can easily go through the questions I share on the episode. Tell me: have you taken time to think about what your ideal life looks like? #shineonline #podcasts #podcastservices #podcastprojectmanager #risingtidesociety #podcastconsultant #podcastlaunch #podcastsupport #podcastmovement #shineonline #podcasts #podcastservices #podcastprojectmanager #risingtidesociety #podcastconsultant #podcastlaunch #podcastsupport #podcastmovement #christianbusiness #christianbusinessowner #christianbusinesscoach #christianentrepreneur #christianentrepreneurs #christianencouragement #faithbasedbusiness #christiangirlboss #jesusgirlbossbabe #faithoverfear #faithinspired
Not everyone should be a coach or a consultant. T Not everyone should be a coach or a consultant. There's not much that bothers me more in the online space than coaches telling people to just become a coach... that it doesn't matter if you actually have any training or certification or know what you're doing. Just pick a topic you're interested in and be a coach! I disagree, and here's why: coaches and consultants actually need to have an expertise in what they are coaching or consulting about. If not, how will they get their clients results? Now I'm not saying that you need to go through 15 different trainings or certifications before you can offer coaching sessions. But make sure that if you're offering coaching or strategy or consults, that you've got some experience under your belt. And guess what? When you have an area (or two) of expertise, people will start to reach out to you for that thing. What do you think? Do you agree that this is an issue in the online business space? 📸 credit @elysebullardphotography at the Lakeside Conference with @womensbusinessworkshop #christianbusiness #christianbusinessowner #christianbusinesscoach #christianentrepreneur #christianentrepreneurs #christianencouragement #faithbasedbusiness #christiangirlboss #jesusgirlbossbabe #faithoverfear #faithinspired #christianentrepreneur #christianwomeninbusiness #leadingwithconfidence #christianleadership #christianleaders #christian #christianquotes #shereadstruth #propelwomen #christianwoman #womeninministry #servantleadership #christianinspiration #healthyboundaries #biblestudymoments #leadingandlovingit
