 In today’s episode of The Christian Business Advantage Podcast, we’re continuing our November theme of Finishing Faithfully by shifting our hearts toward joyful, Spirit-led planning. Instead of hustling into a new year, we’re slowing down to reflect on God’s faithfulness, pray over our goals, and invite Him into every part of our business planning. Join Alyssa as she shares simple 1–2–3 steps to reflect, pray, and plan with joy—not pressure—and discover how partnering with God brings peace, purpose, and unexpected growth.

As the year winds down, it’s easy to fill our days with good things that crowd out what God’s truly calling us to do. In this week’s episode, Alyssa shares three practical steps to help you simplify your business without losing productivity — and make more room for peace and purpose.

✨ 1️⃣ Identify what’s draining you
 ✨ 2️⃣ Delegate or delete what doesn’t need your touch
 ✨ 3️⃣ Serve with margin and focus

Remember: simplifying isn’t laziness — it’s obedience. When you clear the clutter, you create space for God to move through your business and reflect His peace.

🕊️ “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33

As we enter the final months of the year, it’s easy to get caught up in busyness — but what if this season could look different? In this kickoff episode of the Faithful Finish series, Alyssa shares how to finish the year faithfully, not frantically.

You’ll learn how to:
 💜 Pause for perspective — reflect on God’s faithfulness in your business
 🙏 Pray for direction — seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance instead of the world’s pace
 🌿 Proceed with peace — move forward in alignment with your calling, not comparison

Let’s commit to finishing well by staying in step with the Spirit.
 ✨ “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” — Galatians 5:25

This is a rerun of Episode 183: The Concept of The 12 Week Year.  We are doing a book club in my Christian Business Advantage Facebook group and thought this episode would be appropriate for this 5th Monday of the month.

Today, we're diving into one of my favorite productivity tools, "The 12 Week Year" by Brian P. Moran—a book that has revolutionized how we set and achieve goals in our lives and businesses.

Trisha and I met in 2016 when she became an intern for my virtual assistant business, and we've been using the "12 Week Year" system together ever since. In this episode, we'll break down the core principles of the "12 Week Year," which focuses on setting goals in 12-week increments rather than annually, creating a sense of urgency and encouraging consistent action. We'll share how we both implement this system in our businesses and personal lives, the importance of setting focused and attainable goals, and how it has helped us stay on track without procrastination.

Join us as we discuss practical tips for goal setting, balancing personal and professional aspirations, and using shorter planning cycles to achieve more in less time. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just looking for a fresh way to organize your life, this episode will provide valuable insights to help you reach your goals faster and more efficiently.
