Hey Winner, One of the most pain-pointed questions I hear from other entrepreneurs who have a great product to sell and a powerful message to share is that they can’t figure out how to grow their audience quickly. It seems like they are putting themselves out there, doing all the right work, trying to grow the thing, but all they hear are crickets.…

Hey Winner, Okay, friend, you know I get on a soap box about not having to rely on social media for your business.

Honestly, my mission is for you to grow your business…

Hey Winner, We're at the end of chapter 10 of Nehemiah, and there's a list of all the names of Israelites who sealed their names with the Lord.

They're remembering what the Lord did for th…

Hey Winner, Social media can be a great way to connect with people from your past or even new friends you’ve met along the way. But it can also be a detriment to creating real, deep connections in real life. Social media can be a fun way to show off all that you do, but it can also be a danger if you share too much. Want to get off but afraid of FO…

Hey Winner, When things are tough, do you lean toward giving up right away? Or do you look for ways to push past the challenges and continue pressing forward? This is THE question, right? It's so hard to stick with things when we're frustrated or feeling like nothing's working. We start questioning, well is this really where God wants me? Shouldn't…

Hey Winner, The Israelites took the good gifts God gave them, but they rejected the giver. How we do that too, don't we? We forget what God has done for us. We chase after idols or things of this world. Promotion, money, entertainment. We forget to run to the giver who gives these good gifts. And, even so, he's still standing there with open arms f…

Hey Winner, Setting a specific goal just takes a little planning and reverse engineering. In the past few episodes we’ve talked about how to create a vision and set bold, purposeful goals, but now it’s time to do something with them. Now it’s time to take that larger dream and break it down into stepping stone goals that are doable and realistic to…

Hey Winner, In Nehemiah 8 we saw Israel worshipping the Lord. They spent about a month rejoicing because the joy of the Lord was their strength.

We restore fellowship with h…

Hey Winner, Did you know that relying on social media for your business marketing can actually lead to burnout?

Hey Winner, The wall is done and now the Jews are soaking up the word. There aren't thousands of Bibles readily available for them to have in their own tents. No, they come together to hear an orator read the word. They read for hours together. They long for it. God's word is our treasure, but we often neglect it for other things. Think about it...…

Hey Winner, What keeps us from actually doing the thing to achieve our goals? It comes down to the question of, “Are your goals aligned with your purpose?” Because if they are aligned with your values and where you feel led to serve, then this will lead to more meaningful and sustainable success. If they aren’t aligned, we may not be as motivated t…

Hey Winner, The wall was built, but there was more to be done. Once you hit a goal, it doesn't stop there. There's still more to be done. Nehemiah 6:15-16 says the wall was finished in 52 days and all the surrounding nations were afraid once they heard about it because they perceived that the work had been done with the help of God, which, of cours…

Hey Winner, I'd say in the last week I've had a few doubts... Is this really where God wants me? Is my message resonating with anyone? Is this just too hard to make work right now? Am I good enough? How about you? Can you relate? Maybe you're asking, "But, Gabe, how can you have those questions when you have a successful business?" Because we all d…

Hey Winner, When social media marketing started, Faith Hanan was all over that and poured so much time and effort into it, only to realize that she couldn’t sustainably do that and maintain the type of boundaries and presence that she wanted for herself and her family. So she took those same skills that she was using on social media and poured them…

Hey Winner, In Nehemiah 6, those opposed to the wall did everything they could to get Nehemiah to stop the project. And the enemy does the same thing to us in our own projects. First, he'll try to destroy us. If he can't destroy us, he'll try to distract us. If he can't distract us, he'll try to discourage us. And if he can't discourage us, he'll t…

Hey Winner, Do you ever question the dreams you have or the goals you're pursuing? Do you wonder if they're really God-given or if you just think you're supposed to do them? Do you get weary as you go through the motions? Do you wish you knew that you were working in your calling? Dreaming is a God-given blessing! He wants us to dream. He wants us …

Hey Winner, In Nehemiah 5 we notice that the Jews become discouraged once again and our struggling to build the wall of Jerusalem.

Hey Winner, What do you do when opposition comes your way? You are on the path you wholeheartedly believe God wants you on, but it seems every way you turn, you come up against a stumbling block or some type of distraction trying to get you to stop.

Hey Winner, Nehemiah 3 teaches us about community. It's about people from all walks of life coming together to begin building the wall to rebuild Jerusalem.

Hey Winner, Once Nehemiah got approval from the king to leave and go rebuilt Jerusalem's walls, he came up against other oppositions of enemies who didn't want him to be successful, but also opposition from God's people themselves because they were so discouraged and weary already. He had to remind them of who they were and encourage them to join h…

Hey Winner, Perfectionism is one thing that really prevents us from moving forward with our goals or with our businesses. It can stop us in our tracks and become an excuse for why we haven’t really truly made the effort to achieve our goals. Do it imperfectly. Done is better than perfect. Heard these things before? BUT… how? We need to illuminate t…

Hey Winner, We are called to pray fervently, and God is and will be working in the background, but we have a role to play too. Waiting is an action verb. In waiting for the Lord's answers or the, "Yes, go!" we can be planning what the next steps are, and, along the way, God will confirm them (or change them). We need to be in motion for God to move…

Hey Winner, Before Nehemiah went to the king and gave his request to leave to help God's people, he prayed and fasted for four months. I've been meditating on this for how we are so rushed and wanting answers quickly, but God is patient and wants us to trust Him and to come to him in prayer. Not just once, but fervently. What does that mean for us …

Hey Winner, I had a student ask me a really good question the other day, and it made me take a step back and to think again about why I'm doing what I'm doing.
