Yesterday was hard, Friends.

The adrenaline rush of the hurricane is slowing down, and our residents are finally starting to respond emotionally to the disaster that struck us last week. When I was at the Fire Department for our daily community meeting, several people came up to me in tears, not knowing how to process their new reality.

I led our community, volunteers, and first responders in prayer. I reminded us to be kind to ourselves and compassionate with one another. I reminded us that w…

New-to-Me Apocalypse Experiences

(As I learn to navigate the post-hurricane reality we are living here in our small rural community in Western North Carolina - Not in order of importance):

• Eating bear and chicken stew lovingly made by Jean, the wife of our neighbor Robert, who is a hog and wild game hunter
• Hitching a ride to our checkpoint so I could get WiFi access in a dirty banana Jeep Wrangler with a 12-inch lift, and 40-inch tires - so high off the ground I had to be lifted into it, dr…

This is the message I shared today at our daily community meeting. I hope this is helpful to you if you have also been impacted by the hurricane:

My name is Emma Churchman and I’m a Trauma Chaplain.

I want to take a few minutes to speak with you all about what we have just been through as a community.

Regardless of what you have been through over the past 5 days you have experienced a traumatic event.

Maybe your home or your property was damaged. Maybe a neighbor or a loved one you know is s…

Hurricane Helene was catastrophic for residents of Western North Carolina.

We are living in an Apocalypse.

We are safe. Our home did not sustain damage. We have dozens of trees down on our property and road, as well as multiple landslides.

We live on top of a mountain and are without power or internet. We are rationing propane usage for our generator. At this time we still have food and can access our well water when we run the generator.

I have no phone, email or FB access. I hiked 5 miles …

In my 25+ years as a business coach and a 7-figure business owner, I’ve discovered a secret almost none of my colleagues are talking about…

There is a certain way that each of us are uniquely created to do business, based on our soul design. This is especially important to understand when it comes to your offers.

When we can understand how to do business in a way that is most natural to us, it becomes WAY easier for us to get results.

Strategy and mindset are of course important components of…

A massive mistake that even smart, successful CEOs and Business owners make that keeps them stressed carrying the huge load associated with their business responsibilities, pivots & growth….

…is admitting it’s not as _______ as it used to be!

What I mean is that this is a fill-in-the-blank sentence. For example, Admitting it’s not as easy as it used to be. Admitting it’s not as fun as it used to be. Or as joyous, or as fulfilling as it used to be.

I want you to take 30 seconds right now and w…

If you’re stuck in your business and no matter how much you focus on mindset or what kind of new fancy strategy you try you just aren’t getting enough folks raising their hands to work with you, then you’re not alone...

Have you tried implementing those well-intentioned client attraction strategies from your coach or mentor and they just aren’t producing the results you hoped for?

Or worse, maybe you’ve always had the mindset that you’ve got to be constantly hustling.  Constantly grinding out …

Stop hustling... Ask any entrepreneur and they will most likely tell you that they LOVE money, and they want TONS of money! But what’s going on underneath that statement can make or break your business.

Here’s what I mean by that: wanting money isn’t the same as being willing to receive money: especially for women in business. Being in business, especially for women, isn’t always about hustling. That driving, pushing, doing energy can actually be counterintuitive to receiving abundance and mone…

All entrepreneurs want to double our monthly income. But most entrepreneurs don’t understand the FIRST step that needs to happen in order to make that happen. And it’s not picking up the phone and making a cold sales call, or launching a new marketing strategy. The first step is so simple, yet SO challenging for lots of entrepreneurs, including me!

Being Decisive is a very important mindset strategy, that can immediately support doubling your monthly revenue.

I spent years not making big decis…

I spend a lot of time talking with entrepreneurs about money in their life and business. Many entrepreneurs come to me because they don’t have enough money in their business, and they don’t know how to generate more of it on a consistent basis. Let’s dive into your relationship with money, because it matters!  

Some entrepreneurs actually avoid money. They refuse to look at the balance of their checking account, or credit card. They go to the grocery store and in the checkout line they hope and…
