#035 // You want your business to "work." You want to be making sales on repeat and walking in the fullness of the promise God gave you for this work. But it's not working.So you push harder at selling, because that's the part that feels like it counts.But what if I told you that, when Jesus launched His ministry, he took six steps and the selling part… was step 6? As in, there were 5 other steps He took before He converted a single person.Jesus didn't run out into the world and start asking people to follow Him. There was a whole sequence before that, and by the time He got to the ask, people came without being chased. They were actually pursuing Him in many cases.But here's something interesting…You've probably already been doing steps 1-5. You've just not valued them properly, so you're not finishing them properly, either. And that makes getting to step 6 and truly launching your business… very difficult. But it doesn't have to be.In this week's episode of the Jesus Girl Gang Kingdom Business Podcast, I'm walking you through Luke 3 to 5 and the six steps Jesus took to launch, in order, so you can stop obsessing on step 6 and start building from a solid launch pad from step 1. You ready for this?Here's what we're getting into:→ "WHY HASN'T THIS HAPPENED FOR ME YET?" Five builders in Scripture who almost didn't make it out of the gate, and the exact excuse each one got stuck on. I'll bet money you're standing on one of them right now→ "WHO'S GOING TO BELIEVE IN ME?" Jesus had one person shouting Him out before He ever started. You need one too, and their job is not what you think it is→ "WHY IS THIS SEASON SO HARD?" The step nobody wants and everybody needs. Leave it early and you don't come out with what the next step requires→ "WHAT IF MY OWN PEOPLE DON'T GET IT?" What Jesus did the day His hometown turned on Him, and what I told my own mother when she asked me to quit and go back to the six-figure job→ "WHY ISN'T ANYBODY BUYING?" There's something Jesus did for an entire chapter before He called one single person to follow Him.
