When we start talking about having a heart for God and a concept for business, we shift into what I like to call kingdom mindset for the women of faith in business. There’s something special when a woman of God uses her God-given and inspired abilities to not only change other lives but her own as well. What typically happens, though, is confusion begins to set in with understanding how to honor and serve God through owning a business. It often goes deeper than using scripture as a tagline or adding the Christian title to your business. And that’s the balance we’re going to talk about below.

How to Have a Heart for God

I want to break up this post into two main points so we don’t continue fueling any confusion. While the two work hand-in-hand, I think it’s important to visit each concept separately. As Jesus-believing womenpreneurs, we all know how important it is to delight ourselves in the Lord. 

Psalm 37:4 lays it out for us plainly by showing what happens when we choose to delight in Him. There isn’t any catch and there are no hoops to jump. The key is to know what our desires are and to make sure they align with God’s will for lives. When these things don’t align, that’s when we question God and wonder why things aren’t going as we expect them to.

The truth of the matter is having a heart for God is pretty practical. We can develop this characteristic by:

• Finding peace and fulfillment in the Lord.
• Trusting that He will lead, guide, and direct you (especially in business).
• Making Him the head of all we say and do.
• Serving others to best of our ability.

Each of these are also needed to have a successful business. In fact, they can be seen as part of the very foundation and core concept. Speaking of which…

How to Have a Concept for Business

I’ve had many clients struggle with the idea of actually being a business owner. I always remind them that they are so much more because they are the co-owner of their business. You may be wondering how a co-owner can be more than an owner. When you see God as the ultimate owner of your business, then that moves you to the co-owner seat. And what better partner to have in business than Heavenly Father Himself?

I believe this is the first and most important concept for businesses to understand. This invites biblical principles to run your business versus worldly ones. Your temptations to deviate will be met with the Word of God and the desire to please Him instead of the world.

Once you understand that concept, all other ones will begin to align. You’ll begin to:

• Seek clarity around your calling.
• Be clear about your program, services, and product offerings.
• Serve genuinely and authentically.
• Stay connected and visible with your clients.
• Be confident in your decision-making and goal-setting.

These are just a few examples, but some of the most important ones to note. 

Combining a Heart for God with a Concept for Business

Now that we’ve talked about the two separately, let’s look at them collectively. As a womanpreneur, you may also be a mom, a homeschooling mom, working a part-time or full-time brick-and-mortar job, or a number of other things. None of these have to hinder you in your path to becoming a woman of faith in business… let alone, a woman of faith in a co-partnered business with God. 

What most women of faith in business need is accountability, mindset mastery, and brand visibility. Some of these terms may sound foreign or perhaps you’re already involved in working on these aspects. I’ll be the first to tell you that no matter how many years you’ve had a business, the workaround in these areas is never done.

It’s more of a rinse and repeat kind of cycle. You’ll gain the confidence to run a cohesive business that is balanced with other areas of life, confidently speak to your ideal client, and clearly communicate solutions.

This is why I’ve started Mindset Mastery Vault with an Inner Circle Coaching Call. I love meeting with a small collective group of women and pouring into them on a monthly basis. We tackle things that would otherwise keep you stuck in your current position and instead catapults you toward reaching your goals.
