I know sometimes the lines between business and Christianity can be really blurry. You worry you’ll come across as pushy. You wonder, how can I love customers just like Jesus loves us? How can I not be seen as weird?

One of the foundational things for me is that I truly believe there should be no separation between ministry and your business. I truly believe we each have God-given gifts. My business is sharing my God-given gift with you, and helping YOU share your God-given gift with your clients.

The first time I heard business is like ministry, I thought,” What?!?! This is amazing.” If this whole concept is new to you- welcome!

Here are 3 easy practical ways to love your customers as a Christian entrepreneur.

1. Simply Have the Heart of a Servant

• Strength is for service, not status
  • Business can be transactional. It is relational too. I really believe we need to have the heart of a servant in everything we do. 
• “What? Not everyone is good at this? What do you mean you’re not great at _____?”
  • Each of us needs to think about how we can help those around us. How can you use your talents to help others? Something may come easily to you. It doesn’t mean it comes easily to someone else. Natural God-given strength can be used to serve people. At some point, you’re going to need help too. That’s the point! You’re not going to be gold-medal good at everything. Be gracious.
    

2. Love Your Customers by Telling the Truth

• This is a BIG one
  • You are not going to be the best fit for everyone
  • Your program is NOT perfect for everyone
• Now might not really be the time for someone
  • Be truthful, honest, and upfront. God blesses you when you do things in the right way. Personally, I would rather have few clients or students. The important thing is they are the RIGHT students in the RIGHT place in their business. You do not want a room full of the WRONG people in the wrong place. It’s all about being honest with yourself.

3. Pray with People

• Praying with people gets a weird and bad rap and I HATE that!
  • It’s not supposed to be weird
  • Often we say “Oh I’ll pray for you”. Sometimes we forget.
  • Praying WITH someone helps you not forget. It lets them know what you’re actually praying for and gives them a chance to link up with your faith in the situation
