Why I want to Scale Up My Coaching and Consulting Business

I mentioned in the About Page of this blog that "I  stopped working full time a few months after I got married because I felt the Lord's call to prioritize building a family."  I also said that "since then, I only accept projects that entail me to work from home most of the time or takes me away from home occassionally. Moreover, I chose not to accept work projects that entail me to be out of the house during the first six months of my babies."  That was God's call to me years ago.

This year, I feel God calling me to GROW and step out of my comfort zone.  He wants me to do this by SCALING UP what I had been doing in the past years so I could serve more people through the talents He has blessed me with.  Does this contradict His earlier call to me to prioritize building a family? Not at all.  He has not called me to be an employee again.  He simply wants me to put more order, strategy and planning into what I had been doing in the past years and still have ample time with my family especially with my small kids.



That's me after Day 2 of the Wealth Summit.

I attended the 3-day Wealth Summit of Bo Sanchez' Truly Rich Club which ran from March 1 to 3 to act on this call and prompting from the Lord.  Today was the third day of the Summit and we were asked by one of the speakers our BIG REASON for wanting to scale up our businesses.  He said that we should write it down.  So, I'm writing this post to write down my BIG WHY.

This is my BIG WHY. 

I feel a burden in my heart every time God leads me to meditate on these passages: the parable of the talents and the parable of the sower.  God reminds me through these passages that He did not allow me to go through all my experiences without a purpose and for my benefit or my immediate family's benefit alone.  He wants me to use my talents and experience to help more people who need my guidance and expertise.  He wants me to share my story so that more people would be inspired.  God's prompting is so strong that I can't ignore it.  He also makes His Will so obvious to me through the doors of opportunities He has been allowing me to see.  I acknowledge that this growing and scaling up that God has called me to do would not be easy.  But I choose to do it anyway because I trust in God's mercy and unfailing love.  I know that He will supply whatever I need as I choose to respond to His call.  Most of all, I want to love Him by obeying Him and acting on His Word.  That is my ultimate BIG WHY for desiring to SCALE UP.

Tonight, God confirmed this BIG WHY through a message I got in my inbox.  You can see it below.

Do I have other BIG WHY's?  Yes, I do!

My next BIG WHY is this: I want to keep on spending a lot of time with my family, especially my kids who are still very young.  I want to personally witness more of their milestones as they grow older.  It has been my joy to witness most if not all of their important milestones since I gave birth to both of them.  I want to see more!  I want to be a strong influence in molding their characters and values until they are teens or young adults and I believe that I can best achieve this goal if I'm not working fulltime as an employee but doing consultancy work or freelance work like what I had been doing in the past years.

They are my inspirations.

My last BIG WHY but definitely not the least is this: I want to help my husband discover what he's really passionate about and help him build a business out of it.  I want him to get out of the rat race and do the things that energize him and make him truly happy.  I want him to work at something that he isn't obliged or forced to do so he can support his family.  I want to give him the freedom and luxury to choose what he wants to work on while at the same time fulfilling his role in our family of being the main provider.  And, I want him to enjoy being with me and our boys undisturbed by work concerns and unhurried by work schedules or deadlines.  I want him to experience the joy and fulfillment of being in active service in our community again just like when we were still single.

Those are my three BIG WHY'S. :)

Update as of March 8, 2013: My husband helped me put up a simple website while we are evaluating our options on how to build my membership site for my HR services.  It's still a work in progress but it already contains a lot of the information about the services I offer.  Please check it out here.
