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.

    Ep 346 | When You’re Consistent but the Results Aren’t Showing Up

    Hey Winner, Being consistent without seeing results can quietly wear you down—especially when you’re doing your best to stay committed, follow through, and honor the season of life you’re in. In this episode, we’re talking about what to do when consistency doesn’t seem to be paying off. I’m walking you through why effort alone isn’t always the answer, the most common places results break down, and how to reset your approach so your consistency actually starts to matter—without pushing harder or burning out. If you’ve been starting strong and losing steam, or wondering whether you’re missing something, this conversation will help you pause, get clarity, and decide your next step with intention.

    Ep 345 | What It Really Means to Close a Season with God

    Hey Winner, As this season comes to a close, let me ask you something gently but honestly: Have you taken time to truly close it with God? In this episode, we’re slowing things down to talk about why reflection matters, why endings are just as important as beginnings, and how carrying unfinished goals—or unprocessed pressure—into a new season can quietly keep us stuck in the start–stop cycle. You’ll hear a faith-centered reframe of what it means to finish faithfully, how to release what no longer belongs in the next season, and why clarity comes when we allow God to speak into our endings—not just our fresh starts. If you’re craving peace, clarity, and a lighter step as you move forward, this episode will meet you right where you are. And if you’re ready for a guided reset, I’d love to invite you to my free live workshop: 3 Secrets to Breaking the Start–Stop Cycle for Good It’s happening: 🗓 TOMORROW 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 you follow through on what God placed on your heart, even in full or tiring seasons.

    Ep 344 | How to Finish Strong Without Burning Out (Even If You’re Tired Right Now)

    Hey Winner, If you’re feeling tired—physically, mentally, or emotionally—I want you to hear this right away: Being tired does not mean you’re failing. In this episode, we’re talking about what it really means to finish strong without pushing harder, forcing consistency, or burning yourself out in the process. You’ll hear why “just try harder” is the wrong advice for long-term faith-driven goals, how burnout quietly pulls us back into the start–stop cycle, and why finishing strong has more to do with wisdom and pacing than pressure. This conversation is for the person who still cares deeply about their goals, but doesn’t have the same capacity they once did. And if you’re ready for a grace-filled reset, 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 you follow through on what God placed on your heart, even in full or tiring seasons.

    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. Rooting for you ~ Gabe   New to the podcast? Start here: https://redhotmindset.com/podcast-start/   LISTEN TO HEAR: Why feeling “behind” is often a sign of overload—not failure The hidden weight that quietly steals your momentum Why simplifying your goals is an act of obedience, not quitting How to release what God never asked you to carry A faith-centered path to consistency without hustle or burnout   LINKS MENTIONED IN EPISODE: Register for the free workshop: 3 Secrets to Breaking the Start–Stop Cycle for Good: 🗓 January 15 at 9am MST / 11am EST - https://redhotmindset.newzenler.com/webinar/start-stop/register 🗓 January 26 at 12:30pm MST / 2:30pm EST - https://redhotmindset.newzenler.com/webinar/start-stop-2/register   CONNECT WITH ME: ➡️ Website: https://redhotmindset.com/ ➡️ Join the Red Hot Accountability Club: https://redhotmindset.com/rha/ ➡️ Free mini course: Craft Your Marketing Strategy Without Social Media: https://redhotmindset.com/marketing/ ➡️ Free workshop: 3 Secrets to Making Progress on Your Goals without Burnout—Even When Life Feels Chaotic: https://redhotmindset.com/goals/

    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.
