52. Trusting in God’s Plan: Prioritizing His Guidance Over A Business Mentor’s Advice for Your Online Business Ep 84

Do you ever find yourself asking permission from an online business coach/teacher/mentor? Asking if you’re “allowed” to do something in your business? Or maybe you felt God was leading you in one direction, but you heard an online teacher say the opposite, so you started to doubt what you heard from God. I think what started as seeking wisdom subtly leads into seeking permission and listening to an online teacher over what God has said. But I don’t think this is intentional, so I want to talk to

Making a big business decision is the number one thing clients come to me with.
