Getting Started & Getting it Done
[00:08:42] Work/Life balance.We say it's not balance, it's blending. You cannot separate who you are in God from what you do on a daily basis. And God has called us to all of these things. And so we are blending all of these things together.

The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it. (Thessalonians 5: 24)

[00:13:16] Any marketer knows you need to identify the audience. Listen to Katie describe her audience and the ways she can serve them. She's done a great job identifying who she serves and what their needs are. By building a community for support, Katie takes some of the pressure off herself and provides a platform for others.

Keys to Success
[00:34:35] Katie shares the three key things you need to succeed as a blogger:

• Guts. It doesn't matter who tells you you can't. You need to do this, if this is what God has called you to do. 
• Marketing. It's not a dirty word. It just means the way to let people know about what you have to offer them. It's a way to let people know how you can help them. 
• Keep God front and center of your business. Don't get distracted.

If you struggle to tell stories, you’ll struggle to raise funds.
