I've been in business for 7.5 years. One thing I've been concerned about for many of those years is hustle culture. Hustle culture is prevalent in the online business world, where long hours, pushing hard to make things happen, and striving out of your own strength are glorified and encouraged. Another concerning practice that is common is the lack of real rest. While getting pedis and manis are great, and drinking wine isn't necessarily bad, following these practices won't give you real, lasting rest. Listen to this episode on how to avoid the danger of hustle culture. I'm sharing a few embarrassing stories to illustrate my point. 21 Ways to Rest That Aren't Sleeping post If you're interested in hearing more details about our trip, or tips and tricks for traveling, I posted our video on YouTube and you can access that here.

Activities I'm doing in my own business to make it function better: - Updating my Niche and the words that describe my business. - Looking at my goals and asking: Are they still working? What's been accomplished? Do I still want to do _____________? Examining business finances with my accountability partner. Analyzing systems to find out what's lacking and adding or improving what needs to be changed. - Looking at what in my business is working or not working. - How to find time to do this: Think about it while you're doing other things. Add it to your calendar then stick to it. My favorite planner is my Faith and Focus Planner. Make a date with your friends or accountability partners.   Inspiration comes for this comes from Abbey Cappa's She's Here for It podcast episode #66 5 Keys to a Side Hustle Reset

I'm jumping in and telling you my money story. A few weeks ago I posted an episode with Melissa Whaley and her money story. We talked about how she's worked hard to share her money thoughts and attitude. Today I'm going to share my story as we're in the middle of the open cart for my new class series Renew Your Money Mindset. There's been so much that's gone into this class series. I've loved talking and learning about money mindset in the last 3 or 4 years. My first abundance challenge was in 2018.  It's so cool to see God bring up the same topics repeatedly. In 2016, I wrote in my devotional, Created for This, and day 5 is called Money Matters. In this devotional, I read through the devotional and share the Bible passage Romans 12:13 which says, "Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality." Additionally, Matthew 6:20-24 says, "but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, th
