In this episode, I dive into momentum, but not the "force yourself to push through" kind. I'm talking about momentum by design: an intentional, conscious way of moving your business forward that blends practical business structure with divine wisdom. This is also the name of our very first Spiritual Business Incubator all-day event, happening live in Littleton, Colorado on October 23rd and virtually on October 30th.

I share why so many heart-centered founders end up piecemealing their businesses, not because they lack drive, but because they're missing a clear framework for what to focus on and when. I talk about the six stages of business development, why group energy actually accelerates progress (hello, human design), and how Momentum by Design walks you through building your decision framework, mapping your business model and one-year financial forecast, and identifying your top three strategic priorities.

I also get into something more personal: my own journey exploring conscious entrepreneurship, regenerative finance, and what it really means to build a business rooted in both spreadsheets and soul.

In This Episode:

• Momentum isn't sheer willpower. It's intentional movement through real business structure.
• Piecemealing happens when you have ideas but no framework for what to focus on.
• Group energy fills in the gaps of your own design. None of us are meant to build alone.
• Businesses move through six clear stages, and knowing them changes how you make decisions.
• A one-year financial forecast doesn't have to be scary. It's a tool for clarity.
• Conscious entrepreneurship means using both your intuition and your spreadsheet.
