    5 Quick Things You Can Do to Boost Black Friday Sales in 3 Days or Less (and a life update)

    Quick Recap In this episode we shared updates about our business and podcast strategy while highlighting the importance of faith and partnership with God in entrepreneurship. This included insights on reevaluating Black Friday sales strategies and boosting revenue through education, accountability, and community support. Summary Black Friday Strategies and Updates We discussed Black Friday strategies, emphasizing the importance of reevaluating offers and communication channels like email and texts. Key points included leveraging Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday to maximize sales in the following week. Our Journey and Professional Challenges We shared personal and professional growth experiences, including navigating challenges like disagreements about living arrangements and juggling roles in two startups. These challenges led to stepping back temporarily from the podcast and email community, reinforcing the importance of adapting to changing circumstances. Podcast Direction and Business Shift Plans for the podcast include shorter, more frequent episodes (five days a week). We’re shifting away from high-ticket programs and masterminds, focusing instead on providing education, accountability, and community. This aligns with the launch of the 7-day "Reignite" challenge, designed to help entrepreneurs reset and refocus. Faith and Partnership in Entrepreneurship We stressed the role of faith in business, highlighting the Bible verse, “His grace is sufficient for me. His power is made perfect in my weakness.” This perspective drives our focus on building sustainable, God-aligned businesses. Strategies to Boost Sales and Revenue Suggestions included bundling products, offering discounts, and adding bonus digital resources to entice buyers. We emphasized the importance of volume and creative incentives to make offers more appealing. Black Friday Sales Strategy and Testing Key recommendations: Understand what God is guiding you to sell and prepare your audience in advance. Use pre-notifications and multiple communication channels to build excitement. Test systems and automate communications for smooth sales operations. Create unique offers for Small Business Saturday and Giving Tuesday. Rest on Sunday and follow up on Monday to maintain balance. Finally, we encouraged everyone to use this season to make a final revenue push while participating in the "Reignite Challenge" for personal and business growth.   The Bold Equip Collective: www.theboldequipcollective.com/waitlist Reignite challenge:  https://link.gosocialfox.com/widget/form/Sshanpw0Q182v98zXbiU

    Spiritual Warfare & Business: How I Overcame a 2-Year Demonic Attack

    In this episode, I’m sharing an incredible personal testimony of deliverance from a demonic attack I’ve been battling for over two years. 🛡️ If you've ever experienced unexplainable struggles in your business or personal life, this episode is for you. I dive into: How God prepared me for this breakthrough through a podcast I listened to earlier in the day. The spiritual warfare I've faced since starting my tech company in 2023, including strange night wakings that felt more like attacks than stress. How I recognized this as a spiritual battle and took authority in Jesus' name to cast it out, using prayer and spiritual tactics. The moment I commanded the attack to leave, how I felt peace like never before, and finally slept soundly. We’re going deeper into why spiritual warfare is so critical for business owners and how we need both spiritual equipping and practical business acumen to thrive. “...For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers...of this present darkness” (Ephesians 6:12). Listen in to understand how you can take authority in your own battles, grow spiritually, and apply these lessons to your business.

    Applying Hebrews 6 to Your Overwhelmed Heart

    In this episode, I dive into Hebrews 6:11-12 from the Amplified Version. As many of us are navigating busy seasons in life, I’ve found so much comfort and guidance in meditating on this passage. Hebrews 6:11-12 (AMP): "And we desire for each one of you to show the same diligence all the way through, so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, so that you will not be spiritually sluggish, but will instead be imitators of those who through faith (leaning on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power) and by patient endurance (even when suffering) are now inheriting the promises." I break down what it means to show diligence, hold onto hope, and embrace patience. As a businesswoman, leader, and follower of Christ, this verse serves as a powerful reminder to lean on faith during challenging seasons. In this episode, I share: How I’ve been applying this scripture to my own life. What "patient endurance" really looks like. Why diligence and hope are essential for anyone feeling stretched thin. Encouragement for those in the middle of demanding seasons who need to trust God’s promises. Tune in and let’s dive into this verse together. 💡   Resources mentioned: theboldequipcollective.com/waitlist Instagram: @thedaringdaughters thedaringdaughters.com/masterplan
