Side Income Coaching for Christians: Earn extra money, start a simple side business, entrepreneurship
The go-to podcast for Christians who want to start and grow a fun and meaningful part-time side business. Hey, I’m Vicky Arsenault and I spent much of my life being terrible at managing my money, racking up debt, and struggling to get by. It wasn’t until I was in my 30’s that I started to realize living that way was robbing me of joy and peace, so I began to make changes by budgeting and starting a side business. I made money, but dealt with a lot of guilt around charging people. I constantly struggled with the thought that I was being materialistic or choosing money over God, so my growth was stunted. It wasn’t until my 40’s that I REALLY learned how to do business God’s way, and now in my 50’s, I’m teaching others how to break through twisted Christian mindsets that keep many would-be entrepreneurs stuck. On this show, I’ll give you loads of tips and strategies I’ve learned along the way so you can create financial freedom WHILE making other people’s lives better. If you’re tired of just getting by, listen in to learn how to build steady side income as a coach, consultant or local service provider. I’ll talk about things like: *How to stop living paycheck to paycheck *Easy budgeting tips *How to monetize your skills and experience *How to earn extra money on the side in your community *How to start a side business from home *Side income ideas for beginners to earn money fast *How to earn extra money even if you’re not good with technology *Christian entrepreneurship *Biblical mindset for money *The best ways to find customers You can also download my free guide where I share 10 tips to help you kickstart your side income at https://sideincomeguide.com

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Why pricing hesitancy can stall your business growth.
How to shift your mindset to focus on the value you provide.
Lessons from my own experience of learning to confidently explain pricing.
Practical tips for presenting your prices without fear or apology.

54: Are you willing to do whatever it takes to see Jesus like Zacchaeus did?
Monday Dec 19, 2022
Monday Dec 19, 2022
I did this Facebook live inside one of my Facebook groups and thought I'd share it here on the podcast for you.
I was reading about Zacchaeus one morning and just needed to share the revelation I got from it, even after reading this passage many times over the years.
Zacchaeus (a.k.a. "Z") was so excited about seeing Jesus, he climbed a tree to get a better view. Jesus calls him out by name and invites himself over to Z's house for dinner. Z is pumped about this.
Listen in to see what happens and how we should all remember that God calls each of us out by name and loves us.
