TOP 2% GLOBALLY RANKED BUSINESS PODCAST FOR CHRISTIANS WHO WANT TO START A SERVICE-BASED BUSINESS WHILE WORKING A 9-TO-5
Hi, I’m Chichi - Business Strategist, Implementation Coach, and a Jesus Follower.
🎙️ Welcome to the Start That Business Podcast—a faith-based business podcast for Christians working a 9-to-5 who feel called to more. Here, you’ll find the clarity, strategy, systems, and faith-led guidance you need to step boldly into your God-given calling to start a service-based business.
If that resonates with you, you’re in the right place.
I knew I was called to start a business, but I wrestled with a lack of clarity, self-doubt, and the fear of losing a stable income. That fear kept me stuck in my 9-to-5 longer than I should have until I traded it for faith and obedience. I left my job, built a multi–7-figure global logistics brand, and ran it for 13 years, serving thousands of customers worldwide.
Now, I help other Christians working a 9-to-5 do the same.
Your next assignment starts here, with someone who has lived the journey, navigated the transitions, endured the pressure, ridden the ups and downs, and stayed anchored in faith through it all.
You don’t have to stay stuck in fear, doubt, or confusion. God has already equipped you to launch the business He placed in your heart. 🙏🏽
Inside this podcast, you’ll gain:
✨ Clarity on your business idea and focused direction✨ A proven, practical launch plan✨ The right business foundations✨ A simple, aligned offer that honors your current season and capacity✨ Sustainable systems that grow with you✨ Confidence to launch your business without sacrificing your financial stability
If you’re unfulfilled in a 9-to-5 job you’ve outgrown, overwhelmed by too many ideas, unsure where to start, or craving more time, freedom, income, and impact, you’re in the right place. 💡
It’s time to partner with God and step boldly into your calling to start that business.
You know the one I’m talking about.
Yes, that one you’ve been putting off for a long time.
👉 Next Steps: I invite you to work with me.

During the call, you’ll gain clarity on:
✨ The challenges stopping you from starting your service-based business✨ The problems those challenges are creating and✨ How to overcome them

48 | How I Incorporate Giving Into My Coaching Business To Become A Business On A Mission
Hey there, Welcome to another episode of Start That Business.
In today's episode, I'm spilling the beans on the five game-changing ways I've woven the fabric of giving back into the very DNA of my coaching business.
First up, it's all about perspective. I've adopted this mindset that it's not really mine—it's all God's, and I'm just here as a faithful steward.
Ever heard of a Giving Account? No? Well, you're in for a treat. Find out how I set aside a slice of every sale for my Giving Account and how this simple practice has created a ripple effect of positive change. Spoiler alert: it's not just about the money.
And let's talk passion! Discover the inspiring Kingdom Causes close to my heart that I support through my Giving Account. From Nicolasmovates fighting against period poverty to Life Support empowering widows to kickstart their own businesses—these causes are the beating heart of my mission.
But hold on, there's a little something special for every client who decides to embark on this coaching journey with me. I spill the beans on the intentional thank-you gifts I give to each and every one of them. Because let's face it, gratitude is the secret sauce that keeps the wheels turning.
Lastly, I delve into how I give back to family, faith, and community. It's about creating a legacy beyond just the numbers on a balance sheet.
So, grab your favorite cup of coffee or tea, settle into your cozy corner, and join me as we explore the art of giving back and turning your online service-based business into a force for good. #BusinessOnAMission #GiveBackCoach
