It’s a special BONUS episode today on The Jennifer Allwood Show! I asked a while ago if you would like a podcast talking about how I’m praying during the election season and I wanted to share that with you as we get closer and closer to voting. Friends, I know the world feels crazy right now, but remember that the battle is not with flesh and blood but of the spirit. We need to remember who the real war is against; and it’s not your neighbor with opposing viewpoints. God is still on the throne. We can still be full of light and of God’s peace even when there’s craziness around us. The best thing we can do to impact our country right now is to pray and have wisdom. I hope this podcast encourages you as you get ready to vote!

Today I want to talk to you about what I learned from the War Room, which was part of my five day Boost Your Biz Challenge. A lot of small business owners want to grow their business with a sexy strategy. But friends, if you don’t have your mind and heart right first, your business and personal development will leave you feeling stuck. A business isn’t just the technical stuff—your mind, body, and spirit will also determine the success of your small business strategy. So today be encouraged that your emotional and spiritual life are just as important.
Today I’m giving you my Black Friday predictions and giving you advice on what you need to do to prepare for Black Friday as a small business owner. This year, EVERYTHING is going to be different for the shopping season. A lot of businesses will be closed for in-person shopping and will move everything online. So as a small business owner, how can you compete with the big stores and prep your own business for maximum Black Friday sales? Let’s get into it!
This week in my Inner Circle call, I had two different women talk about how they are afraid to take action. I’m calling this FOR: “the fear of the restart!” One woman said she is nervous to throw her first in-person painting party since COVID, another said she has lost her confidence since it's been so long since she's done anything in her business because of COVID. Perhaps you find yourself in the same position, you know something has been on pause that you need to restart. So today I’m giving three ways to help you get restarted when you feel stuck.
Today on the podcast I’m introducing you to my new friend, Aaron Walker. Aaron started his first business at 18 and sold to a Fortune 500 company nine years later. Since then he has started 12 other widely successful companies and now he is coming on The Jennifer Allwood Show to share his wisdom and expertise with all of us. What I love about Aaron is that even though he has had so much financial success, he knows without relational significance—it doesn’t matter. This conversation inspired me soooo much as I am on my business journey and I know it will for you as well!
Today I want to unpack a word the Lord gave me, which was “don’t miss the window.” I’m a business coach and I see a window for every business owner willing to make a pivot right now into the online space. The window of opportunity is open for those of you to repair relationships and to accomplish something that God has for you that you’ve been ignoring. I don’t care what negativity you’re hearing right now - God is still on the throne and in control. God’s plan for us is good, friend. Don’t lose an opportunity because you are too slow to act, friend.
