Episode 198: What Election Results Will Mean for Your Online Business
Hey, everyone! Today is a BIG day for our country and, by extension, for all of us who lead businesses and ministries that are deeply intertwined with our faith. With the outcome of this election, many Christian business owners, coaches, and entrepreneurs are filled with questions. How will these election results impact our ability to run a successful Christian coaching business? How will the economy affect our clients’ needs and financial stability? For those of us building businesses for Kingdom impact, this episode unpacks what the election could mean for our calling and our work.
Jesus is on the Throne, No Matter the Election Results
Before getting into the specifics of how political changes might impact business, it’s essential to anchor ourselves in a fundamental truth: Jesus is on the throne. Regardless of the election outcome, our work as Christian coaches is not only valuable but necessary. While it may be tempting to feel anxious or uncertain, remember that God called us to live and work in the world, not hide away or withdraw.
For many Christian business leaders, it’s vital to remember that we are here to serve, make an impact, and create change. Our businesses are a tool for that, even in challenging times. So while the political environment may shift, our mission remains steady. Even if the next few years bring economic challenges, God’s provision and purpose for our work will not be hindered.
If the Election Goes Blue…
If this election swings blue, it’s safe to say it will be challenging for small business owners. The past year has already seen many entrepreneurs working harder than ever just to maintain steady income levels. Tightened spending, slower client sign-ups, and a more cautious approach to investment are all trends we’ve seen recently, and this may intensify with increased regulation and higher taxes. For those building coaching businesses, these shifts could mean a need for new strategies and even a reconsideration of how to maintain sustainable growth.
Many entrepreneurs are already dealing with the effects of rising expenses. For Christian business coaches, this shift may require a renewed commitment to a lean and flexible business model. Even if the external economy is unstable, it’s essential to remember that God can still help us flourish through what I like to call a “kingdom economy.” Building a sustainable business in this climate will require creativity, resilience, and a commitment to delivering value that goes beyond the financial challenges.
Preparing for the Possibility of a Side Hustle
In times like these, a side hustle can be essential. For those committed to running their businesses full-time, a side hustle might feel daunting, but diversifying income streams is wise in an uncertain economy. This can provide an extra cushion against financial strain, offering stability for yourself and your family while staying true to your calling.
If the Election Goes Red…
On the other hand, if we see a red victory, there could be a breath of fresh air for the business community. When taxes are lowered and people have more income, they tend to be more generous and open to investing in personal growth. This can positively impact the demand for Christian coaches and allow us to serve a greater number of clients who are eager to invest in personal development and faith-driven growth.
Business owners may find that a red win would alleviate some of the financial pressure they’ve been facing. In the free market, healthy competition drives down prices, and people feel encouraged to reinvest their earnings into ventures that align with their personal and spiritual goals. This could be an opportunity for growth, both financially and in the depth of impact we can have on our clients’ lives.
Building a Kingdom Economy, No Matter What
Regardless of who wins the election, remember that as Christian coaches and business leaders, we are called to build what I call a “kingdom economy.” This means creating a sustainable business grounded in biblical values, focused on serving others, and led by faith, regardless of the external world’s economic ups and downs. The kingdom economy we’re creating isn’t just about surviving—it’s about thriving in faith, service, and purpose.
History has shown us time and again that faith-driven businesses can stand resilient. Just like the pilgrims who nearly starved under a shared-resources model, we are reminded that systems without individual incentive tend to struggle. Instead, we’re building a space where hard work is valued, creativity is encouraged, and success is shared.
How to Prepare Your Christian Business for Either Outcome
No matter the election results, here are a few steps to keep your Christian business or coaching practice on solid ground:
- Ask God for Wisdom: Seek direction from the Holy Spirit for your online business as you navigate this time. If possible, invest in assets that provide long-term security, such as real estate, and consider moving to a state where the values align with yours. But ask God to give you direction in all of these areas of your life and business.
- Diversify Your Income: In the case that our nation’s economy continues to struggle, look for new ways to serve your audience or expand locally. You may need to offer additional services or products and to create more opportunities to provide value in order to bring in more revenue.
- Adjust as Necessary: If taxes rise, you may need to consider adjusting your pricing accordingly, as well as looking for ways to streamline your online business expenses. Adjust as needed so that your online business can remain resilient over the long term.
- Stay on Mission: People still need you and the God-given gifts you carry. God has called you to this work for a reason. Whether you’re a Christian coach, business coach, or running another ministry-based business, remember that God has equipped you to serve with purpose. Stay focused on that.
We Can Have Hope for the Future
While elections can change the business landscape, they don’t define our future. As believers, we have a unique calling to lead with resilience, grace, and hope. No matter who takes office, we continue to serve, build, and trust that God has placed us here for such a time as this. Our businesses have a purpose that extends beyond profit; they bring light to a world that desperately needs it.
