Pursuing Goals God’s Way: Goal Planning and Business Strategy for Christian Entrepreneurs

Gabe Cox

Have you thought about finally starting that business now that your kids are older? Do you ever stay awake wondering how to mesh your passions into purposeful work? Do you have big, ambitious goals, but feel overwhelmed or even unqualified to pursue them? Do you desire simplicity and a life without hurry, but you still want to pursue your goals? With inflation skyrocketing, you may be feeling the need to make some extra money to take the pressure off at home or just to have fun money again, and you’re also ready to make an impact outside your home bubble. Turning your knowledge into an online business sounds like a great side hustle to consider. But... you don’t want to sacrifice your family time, and you have no idea where to start! It sounds simple enough, but you’re asking yourself if you’re good enough, if you know enough, if people will want what you have to offer, and if you have what it takes to make something like this work for you in the season you’re in. Well, in this podcast, I will help you clarify your goals and teach you how to use your interests to define your purpose. I’ll help you create systems so you can find the time you need to take action. You’ll learn how to create an atmosphere of simplicity and a life without hurry by setting boundaries, decluttering your schedule and mind, and ditching the distractions so you can finally be present right where you are while growing a successful online business. I have no doubt that you can both make an impact and money all while enjoying what you do. My ultimate mission is to help you step into the fire of refinement so God can mold and shape you into a woman ready to tackle the vision He placed in your heart. If you’re ready to say yes to what’s next and get unstuck, you’re in the right place. Hey, I’m Gabe. A wife, mom, writer, runner, and Jesus lover! For years I put my dreams on the shelf thinking I had to sacrifice my own desires for motherhood. I thought I needed to be everything to everyone, but in the process I lost myself. I felt so scattered because I had way too many things on my plate, and I made all the excuses! What I realize now, after hitting a massive goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon, is that my kids need me to pursue my own goals so I can be their best example. They need to see me win - and yours do too! As a running enthusiast, I believe life is one massive marathon, so if you’re ready to turn your passion and purpose into impact and income all for the glory of God, then lace up those running shoes, pop in your ear buds, and let’s do this thing! Step into the fire with me because I know you will come out stronger. Topics: simple goal planning, setting goals you’ll take action on, online business strategy, simplified business organization, action taking that works Learn - https://redhotmindset.com  Grow: https://redhotmindset.newzenler.com/f/rhm-newsletter Community: https://redhotmindset.com/rha

    Ep 343 | You’re Not Behind, You’re Just Carrying Too Much

    Hey Winner, If you’ve been feeling tired, scattered, or frustrated with your progress, let me remind you of something right up front: You are not behind. In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most common—and most overlooked—reasons faith-driven people struggle with consistency: they’re carrying too much. Not too little motivation. Not too little discipline. Too much weight. You’ll hear why overload quietly fuels the start–stop cycle, how carrying unnecessary commitments drains your clarity and energy, and why simplifying isn’t giving up. It’s an act of trust. This conversation is especially important as you head into a new season, because consistency isn’t built by doing more. It’s built by doing what matters most... sustainably. And if you’re ready to stop carrying everything alone and start moving forward with peace and focus, I’d love to invite you to my free live workshop: 3 Secrets to Breaking the Start–Stop Cycle for Good It’s happening: 🗓 January 15 at 9am MST / 11am EST 🗓 January 26 at 12:30pm MST / 2:30pm EST You’ll walk away with The Finish Line Formula—a simple, grace-filled approach to consistency that works in real-life seasons, even when your capacity is low.

    Ep 342 | Why You Don’t Finish What God Calls You to Start

    Hey Winner, Have you ever felt God stir something in your heart—a goal, a calling, a next step—and you started strong… but somewhere along the way, you lost momentum? If you’re carrying unfinished goals, quiet guilt, or that nagging feeling of being “behind,” this episode is for you. In today’s conversation, we’re talking about why so many faith-driven people fall into the start–stop cycle—and why it has nothing to do with laziness, lack of discipline, or not wanting it badly enough. You’ll hear a grace-filled reframe of what it actually means to finish well, how hustle culture sneaks into our faith, and why alignment—not effort—is the key to sustainable follow-through. If you’re ready for a fresh start that doesn’t require burning out or pushing harder, this episode will meet you right where you are. And if you want help putting this into practice, I’d love to invite you to my free live workshop: 3 Secrets to Breaking the Start–Stop Cycle for Good It’s happening: 🗓 January 15 at 9am MST / 11am EST  🗓 January 26 at 12:30pm MST / 2:30pm EST You’ll walk away with The Finish Line Formula—a simple, no-hustle method to help your follow-through finally match your intentions.
