33 | Want Sustainable Business Growth? Start by Checking Your Roots

In this episode, we’re getting honest about something most business coaches don’t talk about enough: What happens when your business starts growing… but your foundation is shaky?

I want you to picture it like a garden — full of Pinterest dreams and hopeful seeds. But underneath the surface?

The soil is dry. The roots are shallow. And the fruit… just isn’t showing up the way you expected.

Sound familiar?

Today, we’re talking about what it really means to grow a business from the inside out — not from hustle, pressure, or performance… but from clarity, peace, and alignment with God.

Because the truth is: if your systems, rhythms, or decisions are being fueled by fear or comparison instead of faith? It will show. Maybe not right away — but eventually, the cracks will surface.

So if you’ve been feeling stuck, burned out, or just unsure why your business doesn’t feel sustainable… this episode is a sacred invitation to check the roots.

✨ In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
✔️ Why even the best strategy can’t make up for a shaky foundation
✔️ 5 signs your business is rooted in striving instead of sustainability
✔️ How fear, comparison, and perfectionism quietly creep in — and what to do about it
✔️ What happens when we skip the “heart work” and expect long-term fruit
✔️ A better way to grow: surrendered, sustainable, and spirit-led
✔️ Practical heart-check questions to reset your business from the inside out
✔️ What to do when you feel pressure to “keep the momentum going”
✔️ How to re-anchor your business in God’s presence, purpose, and peace

📖 Scripture to Reflect On:

• Matthew 13:5–6 — “Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly… but when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.”

• John 15:5 — “I am the vine, you are the branches… apart from Me, you can do nothing.”
