Who Has He Called You to Serve: Understanding Your Dream Client Better | Ep. 027

Are you struggling with finding the perfect client for your business? Do you have a service to offer, but aren’t sure who may need it? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse continues her October business series by giving practical advice on how to target your business’s dream client. She reminds listeners that when you are speaking too broadly, to too many people, you won’t be able to access your perfect client and will thus be talking to no one. If you are bold in calling out the needs of your dream customer, you’ll be able to attract the right people and repel the wrong ones who don’t need what you have to offer. To find the right people, you need to know exactly how they think, so Charisse suggests asking yourself the following questions about your client:   1. What is the main problem they are facing? 2. What are five issues that are caused by that main problem? 3. How do those five issues make them feel? 4. Why do the thoughts and issues caused by the main problem need to be fixed?   When you find the answers to these four questions, you’ll be able to verbalize the things that your clients are thinking about, but not talking about. At that point, those clients will feel understood and naturally resonate with you, and they'll seek your product or service for a solution. According to what Charisse has experienced, 90 percent of the time your dream client is a younger version of yourself — someone who has not yet found the answers to the problems she’s facing. So who does your heart go out to? Who has God called you to serve? And how are you going to make sure you reach those that God has called you to?  Connect with Charisse through the resources below!   Charisse’s Personal Site [https://www.charisseburton.com/] https://www.charisseburton.com   Facebook [https://m.facebook.com/charisseburtoncoach] https://m.facebook.com/charisseburtoncoach   Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/charisse_burton?igsh=MWw5emh0M29sZXlwZA==] https://www.instagram.com/charisse_burton?igsh=MWw5emh0M29sZXlwZA==   YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@charisseburtoncoach] https://www.youtube.com/@charisseburtoncoach   Patreon [http://patreon.com/thechristdrivenwoman] https://www.patreon.com/thechristdrivenwoman [https://www.patreon.com/thechristdrivenwoman]

GOD Is Not Your CEO | Ep. 026

Do you ever wonder what role God should play in your career or business? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse explains why God is not your “CEO,” and why seeing Him as such may actually be deterring your success. It can be difficult for Christian women to believe that God created them for success and prosperity, maybe because they aren’t sure what that looks like, or they’ve experienced a recent failure or redirection that’s made them doubtful. And yet the Bible is clear that the Lord created us for good, and that He hopes to see us prosper (see Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 2:10, and Hebrews 13:20-21). While we should always seek direction from God, Charisse believes that we shouldn’t consider Him our CEO. In the life of a Christian, the term “CEO” should stand for “Christ’s Elevated Officer,” and it is a title that we should be claiming. Why is it important that Christ followers see themselves as “CEOs?”    * You are Christ’s chosen, appointed servant who has the power to lead by the authority that He has given you * God has given you the ability and the authority to serve others, and when we don’t step into that authority, we will only hold ourselves back  * Your business will never outgrow your belief, so you must believe that God has granted you the leadership and wisdom to achieve success * Claiming the title of CEO makes the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit our “Board of Directors,” whom we meet with and consult as we step into our calling    You may be feeling anxious or fearful of stepping into a new place of leadership, maybe because it’s hard to believe that God has called and equipped you for big things. Charisse encourages listeners to find Scripture that will anchor you to the truth and remind you of the strength you have in Jesus. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we are God’s handiwork, created for good works, so don’t bury the beautiful gifts that God has given you.

How Do You Bring JESUS Into Your Career? | Episode. 025

Have you gotten into a habit of compartmentalizing your career apart from your walk with Christ? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse discusses the importance of bringing Christ into your business, and offers practical advice on how to do so. Oftentimes it can be easy for Christ-followers to keep their faith and their career separate, especially when your career may not be overtly ministry-related. Yet Charisse reminds listeners that God is involved in every area of our lives, and as Christians, the work that we do should reflect that. She provides three specific areas in which Christian business owners and employees can better integrate their faith into their work:   1. Prayer — Inviting God into your work on a daily basis, asking Him to direct your steps and lead you in the way that He wants to use you  2. Listening — Finding quiet times to listen for the Lord’s prompting, and spending enough time in the Word to distinguish His voice from any other noise 3. No compartmentalizing — Remembering that God is in everything, and when we commit everything to Him, He will establish our plans (see Proverbs 16:3)   If someone looked at your business or your everyday work, would they know what you stand for? Would they know Who you stand for? Being a Christian is not just showing up to service on Sundays, but inviting the Lord into every area of your life, asking Him to direct you and then listening for His calling. We were designed to do good works, but be sure not to let the demands of your earthly work distract you from the work that must be done for the Kingdom.

Deepening the Connection with Guest Dr. Jodi Solberg | Ep. 023

Is your current cycle of thinking preventing you from being the best you can be? On today’s episode of The Christ-Driven Woman, Charisse is joined by Dr. Jodi Solberg, a wellness coach and master hypnotherapist with a doctorate in Christian Counseling. Dr. Solberg is also the founder of Psyched Up Success and a strong advocate for trauma recovery and prevention. Charisse and Dr. Solberg discuss the importance of self-reflection and mental health, and highlight the following points: * God designed us with the need for rest and reflection, and neglecting this can be detrimental to our growth and flourishing * Each one of us has the ability to renew our mind and break cycles of generational trauma — you do not have to feel trapped within your inherent patterns of thinking * Creating a new neural pathway is like forging a new trail, beating down the weeds that are standing in your way  * Just because you are a Christian and have the Holy Spirit living within you does not mean that you can’t seek support for your mental health * God’s power is made perfect in weakness, when we realize that we can’t go through life alone (2 Corinthians 12:9) The human mind is a beautiful and perplexing creation that is constantly changing and seeking growth. Dr. Solberg reminds listeners that you have more control over your mind and your subconscious than you believe. The trauma that you may be carrying from experiences in childhood or in adulthood does not need to be a detriment or a focus of shame. You have the ability to make a difference within your own mind, which will then positively affect your present reality and future generations.   To connect with Dr. Jodie Solberg and find out more about her work, check out:    Jodie’s Personal Site [https://www.psychedupsuccess.com/] https://www.psychedupsuccess.com/ [https://www.psychedupsuccess.com/]   Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/psychedupsuccess/] https://www.facebook.com/psychedupsuccess/ [https://www.facebook.com/psychedupsuccess/]   Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/psyched_up_success/] https://www.instagram.com/psyched_up_success/ [https://www.instagram.com/psyched_up_success/] Connect with Charisse through the resources below!   Charisse’s Personal Site [https://www.charisseburton.com/] https://www.charisseburton.com   Facebook [https://m.facebook.com/charisseburtoncoach] https://m.facebook.com/charisseburtoncoach   Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/charisse_burton?igsh=MWw5emh0M29sZXlwZA==] https://www.instagram.com/charisse_burton?igsh=MWw5emh0M29sZXlwZA==   YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@charisseburtoncoach] https://www.youtube.com/@charisseburtoncoach   Patreon [http://patreon.com/thechristdrivenwoman] https://www.patreon.com/thechristdrivenwoman [https://www.patreon.com/thechristdrivenwoman]
