ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Hey friends! Welcome to Girls’ Night!

Our guest for today’s episode is business coach, Christy Wright. Now, if you haven’t heard of Christy or her program, the Business Boutique, before, you’re just going to love her. Christy hosts in-person conferences, speaks all over the country, has a podcast that I just love, and she’s written a book — all aimed at equipping and empowering women to make money doing what they love.

And that’s exactly what we’re going to be talking about in today’s episode.

Friends, we have wise, wonderful, world-changing women in our Girls Night community, and I know that so many of y’all have enormous dreams that you’re either in the process of pursuing, or that you want to be pursuing.

Y’all are dreaming up blogs, businesses, side-hustles, and Etsy shops. You’re dreaming up ways to use your gifts for the good of the world, for the good of God’s kingdom, and to support yourself and your families. I just love that.

But here’s what I also know: Starting a business is HARD. It’s daunting, it’s scary, it’s confusing, it’s complicated. And I know for so many of us we either don’t start, or we don’t keep going, we get stuck, because we feel like we just have no idea what we’re doing!

And that’s why I’m so happy to have Christy here today. Today I’m picking Christy’s brain — asking her all the questions I know we’re all asking about starting and growing a business. And my goodness, she has answers for us.

In our conversation, Christy talks us through…

How to find our business idea (and how to know if it’ll work or not!)

How to actually start our businesses

How to get customers (and get them to actually buy what we’re selling)

How to charge money for things (without feeling so squirmy about it)

How to work through the fear and discouragement we often feel when pursuing our dreams

And so much more. I can’t wait to share this episode with you!
