    I was wrong about the new age to Jesus story — here's where I stand and how I choose to lead.

    Hello family. This is the final episode in this “transition” season of the Revolutionary Business podcast and I save the best for the last. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to publish this but I have questions about my perspectives on new age to Jesus. On working with people who are “new age”. So, what’s better than having a conversation. This is going to be a podcast episode that you want to — grab a cuppa, be in a place to focus. Book-mark this and come back later. It is deep, it is rich, it is something that is meant to be felt in the Spirit and see it through the lens of Christ. Wherever you are in your journey (whether you’re in the sanctification in your walk with the Lord), or you were where I was a few years ago where you believed in God, supernatural power and you are in the journey of being curious of who the ONE TRUE LIVING GOD is, may this bring you the Truth, the KNOWING in your Spirit. As we close up this incredible chapter, here’s where I stand and how I choose to lead: My relationship with Jesus is so much bigger than a coaching/self-help industry or a momentary thing of-new age-to-Jesus. I know the God I serve. My true identity is in Jesus Christ. Not a made up industry. The God I serve is not a religion, Source, or Universe. He is Yahweh, the one true living God. I live everyday on THE truth that Jesus is THE TRUTH, THE WAY AND THE LIFE. I trust in the power of the Holy Spirit to use me in His way. I never belonged to new age. Nor an industry. Even when I was blasphemy towards the bible, I never also fit into a spiritual narrative. It has been my lifelong journey of seeking for Truth and Love, to knowing the nature of God through creative entrepreneurship. So, I find it weird when I was trying to label myself for an identity purpose. (That was literally the whole point of denouncing human design in the first place). It was a weird push and pull, spending all my life trying to break free of labels, yet labelling myself to fit in. Lol. Until Jesus. I know who I am in Christ, I know who I am as a woman of God and that’s enough. I do what I am called to teach and speak about, if the Holy Spirit leads to pray for someone, over someone, I follow. I don’t need the entire internet to know about it. I have a solid strategic background in business/ wealth management and I consider myself as spiritually mature + know how to exercise my discernment on the messages through the Holy Spirit. I read and think for myself. I have no problem learning from people I disagree with but of the same values and has walked the path of where I want to go. I am not going to these people for knowledge, understanding or a relationship with God. I am learning new skills, access a way of thinking that I am curious about, I know how to think for myself and I speak to the Holy Spirit daily. I know the word of God. I make decisions based on the fruit of their Spirit. Ultimately, knowing what stages you’re in business and at life before taking any advice is KEY. Don’t just take any advice because it’s a vibe. It’s an expensive lesson. Ask me how I know. Adeline x PS: There will be a sequel here on Substack when the time is right— from my quantum leap (where I had my spiritual awakening journey), to the fall, to restoration in Jesus and to continuing the work of creation. I went through a year of wrestle and the holy fear of what if I got it wrong, even though I am solid in the spirit. Warfare is real, deliverance is required but I don’t believe in needing to be a drag on process. For a while, I became obsessed with deliverance and learning about all the spirits. I thought that was my “calling” — this is why I always tell my clients, sometimes your gift could be a distraction of your true calling. Holy Spirit convicted me of this too. It is the expansion, to bring more context to this episode. I was going to include as “shownotes”, but it is 5,000 words lol.

    I almost said no to a $750 project and that became my most profitable client to date.

    This is an extremely personal and intimate episode, sharing stories for the first time as I reflected back on my journey of entrepreneurship and God in the past 7 years - after walking away at the peak of corporate career at 30 — as a multipassionate millennial, who knew she was called for more. At the cross road of where I was offered an equity to grow the agency, I negotiated my GM gig into my first consulting client. I did started off with hourly rate whilst figuring things out (20 hours per week at 150 per hour) Then, I offered protein ball workshops to burn out executives afford my swanky Sydney office. I attended a networking event (because of the booze, I had since been sober). A partner of a law firm asked what I did. I said I run a marketing agency. I built my own website that week. Didn’t get that job but that was the catalyst I needed to start putting together an offer. That offer led to my first project — it was $750 project for email marketing. I almost didn’t follow up on a $750 project because it didn’t seem like a lot, but I have made 6+ figures from this ONE client that I’ve decided to follow up on. Thank God I did. I removed my pride and just did the work, like a great business owner and a responsible CEO. (I shared the exact email and my sales flow inside Potential 2 Paid Bundle) Nothing is too small, ESPECIALLY, if you see the opportunity and how you can truly transform their business. Imagine I never did – because I was too cool for it. * That $750 project wouldn’t have become a $3k client. * It wouldn’t have grown to $50k/year and stayed for 2+ years. * A team member later hired me for brand strategy for her startup. * I got a referral from one of the world’s best institution from a work I did, 7 years later. I probably would not have a business. This is an example of the Butterfly Effect AND walking by faith. I’ve been around online for a while and I have also seen a lot of ridiculous business advice that leads you to nowhere. Especially, you shouldn’t “follow up” clients because clients are self-led. It could also simply be – they’re busy running their 6,7,8 figures businesses that your pitch just slipped their mind and your problem is important, but not urgent. Don’t let your pride get in your way of building something that matters. Your Next Step: I am done seeing highly skilled corporate professionals, tech/ creative experts who are elite at their craft but have no idea how to translate their enterprise expertise into a high-ticket business solution. They are treating sales call like HR interviews or thinking that “creating content and building audience” is the fastest way to replace their 6-figure corporate salary. (cue: 18 months of content creation later, they are still “building audience to launch”. This is exactly why I built the Corporate 2 Consulting Blueprint. I put together everything I learned from how I turned my own experience as a former Chartered Accountant and my side hustle as a content creator/ brand strategy into a profitable marketing consulting business without a huge audience or a content hamster wheel. The Corporate2Consulting Blueprint is for corporate/ tech/ creative experts and professionals who want to turn their existing high value skills (from jobs/ side hustles) into a profitable consulting business that can replace their salary, without growing an audience or build complex funnels. This program is designed to help you: 👉 Translate your highly paid and sought after skills into a sought after offer (what to sell, who to sell to, how to package and price it) so that you can turn your impressive resume into revenue that replaces your full time salary at 50-70% of working time. 👉 Where to find consistent, qualified leads at one hour per day from borrowed audience using my proven Hot Zone Buyer Method so that you don’t need to spend time on a content hamster wheel or building complex funnel that cost you time and money. 👉 Turn the leads from potential into paying (and high retention) clients so that you’re no longer second guessing where your next client is coming from and start each month from zero. 👉 Build your 6-figure revenue runway and the pricing strategies so that you can turn random sales month into secure predictable recurring revenue and replace your salary with just 3–5 high-value clients per year. This will remove any guesswork and create a solid foundation and revenue runway as you navigate through career transition into full-time entrepreneurship. This is for you if: * You know you have at least 5 years of professional expertises and experiences/ high value skills or specific knowledge that the market already wants * You know you want to use your expertises to build a financial runway and work with corporate clients with budget * You know you are great at what you do but are struggling with marketing and sales This is not for you if: * You have no prior experiences or professional expertises/ high value skills or specific knowledge * You aren’t willing to try to do the work to market and reach out to potential clients looking for expertises like yours * You want to build an online personal brand 2) 1:1 Power Up Biz Intensive A bespoke 1:1 consulting, 100% tailored to your business needs. This is a 60-minute, high-impact strategy session to identify what’s capping your revenue — and redesign it in real time. You get to pick my brain and my strategic expertise on your business, focus on one of the following: * A clear roadmap to your consistent $10k months in 2026 * Developing a strategy + offer to expand beyond the hourly rate or 1:1 * Client Acquisition System: Refining your sales process for higher conversion. Leave knowing exactly what to do next, what to stop doing, and the identity shift to break your glass ceiling. I have 10 spots available at the special rate of $497 (usually $997). I rarely offer these one-off intensive sessions — the last one was in 2021 — and have not offered 1-1 at this rate, so get in now! » Book your spot here « Crossing The Threshold with Adeline Er is a reader-supported publication.

The movers who were never meant to conform. The future architect - who never fit into the old systems because they were never meant for you. You are destined to architect new systems — to bring what has yet to exist into existence. The revolutionary women who go against the very cultural narrative of who we should and shouldn’t be - restoring God’s original design of womanhood. Of becoming a formidable force of power and a voice the world can’t cancel - the very foundation piece of a revolutionary business. And - this is your permission slip granted. Things are changing in H2 of 2026, decide to take your power back to move, speak, sell and lead as the leader you’re called to be, as you grow your profitable and sustainable business.

    ep 21: why you keep building businesses, burning them down and calling it a pivot or reinvention.

    Creation, art, wonder are up there on my value ladder. In an age where the majority of the things are fake, artificial, inauthentic and overly staged and curated, it is a PRIVILEGE and a CHOICE to SPEAK + LIVE my Truth, to honour my fullest creative + artistic expression. It takes courage and boldness to be walking in beauty, to live a life of heART every single day. It is a calling. It is a responsibility. It is a commitment. It is the very reason why I am alive and wake up everyday. But, HUGE BUT…. “content creation” as a business model is not a smart business decision, long-term especially if you’re in the season of building asset and wealth. Monetised audience is not the same as compounding asset. And, I believe that business acumen and knowing how to make sound business decisions should be the new normal for women. If you’re looking to be a “creator” focusing on volume, attention and simply creative expression, this episode is not for you. For every powerhouse woman and entrepreneur who’s here to defy the generic rules of the internet, stop building on borrowed blueprints, and rebuild their business around their God-given calling, design and vision — grab your notebook and take some notes. In this episode, you’ll walk away with: * The 3 real reasons you’ve hit a glass ceiling — your mindset around money, building on someone else’s blueprint, and having no clear roadmap * The D.N.A. method — the exact 3-part framework for turning your expertise into a business model that’s yours, and work for you. * Why mindset work alone won’t get you unstuck — and what strategy has to do that breathwork and nervous system work can’t * How to tell if it’s a marketing problem or a conversion problem — using data instead of self-worth spirals to diagnose what’s actually broken * A clear roadmap you can commit to — instead of building things and burning them down every time something shifts You now know the three reasons you’ve hit a glass ceiling. You know the framework. But knowing isn’t the same as having someone walk it with you. You can keep doing this alone — testing, building, burning it down, rebuilding — and maybe you get there in 18 months, like I did (with 15 years of brand experience). Or you can compress that timeline with someone who’s already extracted the DNA of a business, more than once, and can see what you can’t see about your own. The question isn’t whether you’re capable. You are. The question is whether you want to spend the next year figuring out your blueprint by trial and error, or whether you want it built with precision, in weeks, not years. If you’re ready to stop guessing, have me inside your own business and walk you through the DNA process, here’s everything you need to know about Business Breakthrough and an invitation to apply at the end. PS: I am a firm believer of building a stable financial runway that replaces your full time salary, that allows you to take greater creative risk and freedom to create. If you’ve years (or even decade) of expertises and you want to learn how to turn your expertises into revenue, without a huge audience, content hamster wheel or even funnel, Corporate2Consulting Blueprint (previously Corporate to CEO) is a great place to start. When you're ready to exit the creator-employee trap for good and replace your salary with a 25-hour-a-week consulting business built on your expertise. All without the content hamster wheel, a huge audience and funnel building, this is for you. Get full access to Crossing The Threshold with Adeline Er at adelineer.substack.com/subscribe
