The Most Underrated Sales Conversion Event in Online Business and Why They Work [Ep. 188]

Why Activation Events Are Your Secret Weapon for Converting Clients in 2025
The Workshop Strategy That Generated $8K in Recurring Revenue in 48 Hours
You've been told you need a fancy sales funnel, a massive email list, and endless content to make sales online. But what if I told you that a single workshop could collapse months of nurturing into one powerful hour?
I'm Kristin Dronchi, founder of the Kingdom Business Revolution, and I recently hosted what I call an activation event that sold out a one-on-one advisory spot, opened multiple sales conversations, and secured $8K in recurring revenue for January 2026. No paid ads. No huge audience. No aggressive pitching.
Here's exactly how activation events work and why they need to be part of your 2025 marketing strategy.
What Are Activation Events and Why Do They Convert So Well?
Activation events are live workshops or masterclasses designed to activate conversations, not just deliver content. They're conversion events that bridge the gap between stranger and paying client faster than almost any other marketing strategy.
While you're trying to close that gap with countless social media posts and email sequences, a well-executed workshop can accomplish the same thing in 60 minutes or less.
The Power of Small Numbers: My Recent Workshop Results
Let me share the real numbers from my recent activation event:
25 people registered (promoted for only 48-72 hours)
5 attendees showed up live (20% show-up rate)
1 person purchased my one-on-one coaching immediately (20% attendee-to-buyer conversion)
Multiple sales conversations opened with customizable offers
$8K in recurring revenue secured for the following year
You don't need 100 or 200 registrants. You need 10-25 people actively struggling with the specific problem you solve.
Why Workshops Outperform Traditional Marketing Funnels
1. They Create Instant Relevance
A workshop forces you to choose one specific topic and go deep rather than wide. When your ideal client registers, they're essentially saying "Yes, that's me. I need this." Clarity creates connection, and specificity converts.
2. They Position You as a Guide, Not a Guru
People don't want lectures anymore. Activation events let people experience your coaching style, your thinking, and your discernment firsthand. They get to experience you, not just hear about you.
3. They Build Trust in Real Time
During a live workshop, you can answer questions, read the room, and respond to what people actually need in the moment. Trust built in one hour can outperform months of email nurturing.
4. They Attract Aligned People
Even with a small audience, activation events go deep instead of wide. They're not designed to go viral—they're designed to attract your perfect-fit clients who are ready to take action.
The Biggest Mistake: Treating Workshops as the Finish Line
Here's what most entrepreneurs get wrong: they think the workshop is the end of their sales process when it's actually the beginning.
You host the event, deliver value, make an offer, and then… nothing. But the workshop was never meant to be where the sale happens. It's where the sales conversation begins.
The Workshop Is Step One in Your Sales Conversion System
When someone shows up to your activation event, they're saying "I'm curious. I'm interested." But that doesn't mean they're ready to buy on the spot. Most people need time to process, think, and have a safe conversation to establish a relationship.
The activation event creates trust and clarity in under an hour. The sale happens in the days after—in the follow-up emails, in the one-on-one conversations, in the quiet moments when they realize "this is exactly what I need."
How to Sell After Your Workshop Without Feeling Pushy
The real momentum kicks in after your activation event ends. Here's the exact follow-up sequence that converts:
Step 1: Send a Replay Email with a Clear Next Step
Don't just send the replay link. Include:
What you covered in the workshop
Why it matters to them specifically
Their clear next move
Give them momentum and start conversations without adding pressure.
Step 2: Send a Personalized Follow-Up Email
This is where you flip the power dynamic. Instead of saying "buy this thing," you say "here's what I noticed during the workshop that tells me what you need next."
Try something like: "If you were nodding along during the last part of the workshop, there's a good chance you need [specific solution]."
This email almost always triggers replies and, most importantly, conversations. (Want my exact follow-up email templates? They're inside The Activation Room along with the Steward Well Power Hour training on turning conversations into clients.)
Step 3: Drop a Value-Heavy Bridge Email
Connect the dots between the problem they have and your paid offer. Something like: "Here's the problem we addressed. The workshop was just the beginning. Here's how we fix it for real."
This is teaching while selling—reminding them what you offer and why it matters.
Step 4: Send an Invitation Email
Make it read like an invitation, not a pitch: "If this workshop gave you clarity, imagine what six months of working together would look like."
Break down what they get, what changes, and what's possible. You don't need fake urgency or scarcity when trust is already high.
Step 5: Close the Loop with a "No Pressure" Email
Show maturity in your leadership: "If now isn't the right time, I'm still here cheering you on. Whenever you're ready, the door is open."
People buy from safety, not pressure. This email proves you're safe to buy from.
Why Activation Events Work Better Than Long Launch Strategies
I used to rely on five-day and nine-day launch strategies, but they weren't sustainable as my business and life evolved. After sitting in rooms with six, seven, and eight-figure entrepreneurs, I noticed something: their shorter masterclasses and one-day workshops were converting just as well—if not better.

Why Your 2025 Strategy Needs Activation Events
In 2025, we're operating in what I call a "trust recession" where trust is the currency of today's market. We've moved into a relationship-based marketing era. Gone are the days when you could simply put an offer out and people would instantly buy.
The buying decision has lengthened. Your ideal clients are taking longer to discern if something is right for them. And it's not your fault—it's the current landscape.
Activation events solve this problem by:
Building trust faster than any other strategy
Creating real human connection in a digital world
Allowing people to experience your expertise firsthand
Opening the door to deeper conversations
You don't need a giant audience, a polished brand, or a perfect funnel. You need a deep topic that resonates with your ideal client and roughly an hour of focused teaching.
The "Be a Human First" Approach to Workshop Marketing
Activation events aren't really about selling—they're about serving deeply enough that the selling becomes obvious. They help you:
Get seen by the right people
Make your message land with clarity
Build real connection in an era that demands authenticity
Be human first in your marketing
When someone shows up for your activation event, they're raising their hand and telling you they're curious. If you lead well through that event, curiosity becomes clarity, clarity turns into conversations, and conversations turn into paid clients.
Common Questions About Hosting Activation Events
How many people do I need to register? You don't need 100+ people. Having 10-25 highly aligned registrants is more valuable than hundreds of lukewarm leads.
What if I have a small email list? Activation events work exceptionally well with small, engaged audiences. Quality beats quantity every time.
How long should I promote the event? I promoted my recent workshop for just 48-72 hours and got 25 registrants. You don't need a month-long runway.
What if only a few people show up live? A 20% show-up rate is normal. Five engaged attendees can lead to multiple sales conversations and conversions.
Do I need complicated tech or funnels? No. You need a registration page, a way to go live (Zoom, Facebook Live, etc.), and a follow-up email sequence.
Ready to Host Your First Activation Event?
If this strategy resonates with you, you don't need more information—you need activation. The difference between entrepreneurs who consistently hit $3K-$5K months and those who struggle isn't strategy. It's implementation.
Activation events work because they collapse the gap between stranger and client. They position you as the expert. They build trust in real time. And they attract the exact people who are ready to invest in transformation.
Your next level isn't hiding behind a bigger audience or a better funnel. It might be hiding behind a single, well-positioned workshop that goes deep on a specific topic your ideal clients are struggling with right now.

🔥 Episode Summary
In today’s episode, Kristin invites you into what she calls a “family meeting”—a deeply honest, Spirit-led reflection on your year in business, leadership, and identity. If you've found yourself thinking, “I thought I’d be so much further by now…” this conversation is going to feel like fresh air to your soul.
Through the lens of Kingdom leadership, perspective, being, integrity, and stewardship, Kristin unpacks why this year may have felt heavy, slow, or confusing—and the exact internal shift required before you cross into 2026.
You’ll learn why leadership starts long before you feel ready, why your clients mirror your being more than your knowledge, and why your perspective—not your strategy—is often the silent bottleneck to consistent 3–5K months.
This episode is deep, direct, and freeing. Grab a journal. You're going to want it.
🎙 What You’ll Hear in This Episode
1. “I thought I’d be further by now…” — Why You’re Feeling This
Kristin normalizes the end-of-year wave of disappointment and recalibration that many Kingdom women are walking through. And why—despite the feelings—you are exactly where God intends to shape you.
2. The Business of Performance & What Kingdom Leadership Really Is
Leadership doesn’t begin when you hit six figures or hire a team—it begins the moment God entrusts influence or assignment to you.Even if it’s your first client, first DM inquiry, or first stirring in your spirit.
3. The Powerful Truth: Your Clients Rise to the Level of Your Being
Your high-capacity, Holy-Spirit-prepared clients aren’t avoiding you.They’re avoiding the atmosphere you lead from.This segment will hit hard in the best way.
4. The Difference Between Knowing and Being
You can study leadership, but still drown in the deep end when you’re actually called to lead.Kristin breaks down why knowing is informational……but being is transformational.
5. Perspective: The Single Factor That Shapes Your Results
Fear-based perspective vs. heaven-based perspective.Two women. Same circumstance.Completely different outcomes.
This alone can shift your entire 2026 trajectory.
6. The Internal Narrative That Has Been Running Your Year
Your subconscious “background music” dictates your leadership posture.Kristin helps you identify what’s been driving your decisions—and how to shift into a Heaven-aligned narrative of authority and stewardship.
7. Ego, Victimhood, and Integrity—The 3 Leadership Saboteurs
A deep dive into:
how ego blocks growth
how victim-mode blocks favor and results
how integrity (to others and yourself) determines your capacity to lead
8. The Kingdom Vision That Unlocks Your Next Level
Vision is not a goal.Vision is a future reality so compelling that it demands you show up differently now.
When your vision aligns with Heaven, your identity shifts… and so does your income.
9. Your End-of-Year Leadership Journal Prompts
Kristin gives rich reflection questions you can bring into your quiet time, planning sessions, or year-end review.

What have I actually been being this year as a leader?Not what I learned or intended—who was I in the moments that mattered?

How to Build Your Business From Heaven: Activating Spiritual Senses, Destiny Scrolls & Kingdom Strategy w/ Bralynn Newby [Ep 186]

How to Build Your Business From Heaven
A conversation with spiritual business coach Bralynn Newby on the Kingdom Business Revolution podcast
Introduction
What does it really mean to operate from heaven rather than for God in your business? In a recent episode of the Kingdom Business Revolution podcast, host Kristen sat down with Bralynn Newby, spiritual business coach and creator of Kings on Fire, to explore this transformative shift in how Christian entrepreneurs can build their businesses.
Bralynn doesn't just talk about heaven—she helps entrepreneurs operate from it, activating their spiritual senses to hear from God clearly and partner with heaven to build businesses that shift culture.
From Church Age to Kingdom Age
One of the most profound distinctions Bralynn shares is the difference between operating in the "church age" versus the "kingdom age."
Church Age Thinking: Praying up to heaven, asking "Oh Lord, bless my business."
Kingdom Age Reality: Actually operating in the kingdom, understanding that "the kingdom of the Lord is within you" (as Jesus declared), and functioning from your seat in heavenly places.
This shift isn't just theological—it's practical. As Bralynn explains, "When He's sitting on His throne, I need to be sitting on my throne. When He's commanding angel armies... I need to be commanding the armies that I have assigned to me."
Activating Your Five Spiritual Senses
Many believers don't realize they have spiritual senses that need to be activated. Bralynn breaks down the biblical foundation for each:
1. Hearing (Spiritual Ears)
John 10 speaks about hearing and knowing your shepherd's voice. This isn't just about occasional divine whispers—it's about consistent communication with your heavenly CEO.
2. Seeing (Spiritual Eyes)
John 5:19 reveals that Jesus only did what He saw the Father doing. If Jesus needed to see into the spiritual realm to know what to do, so do we.
3. Tasting (Spiritual Taste)
Psalm 34:8 invites us to "taste and see that the Lord is good." This spiritual sense helps us discern and experience God's goodness in tangible ways.
4. Touching (Spiritual Touch)
Matthew 10:7 describes heaven's Kingdom as "accessible, close enough to touch." We can reach into spiritual realities and bring them into the natural realm.
5. Knowing (Spiritual Perception)
When Peter declared Jesus was the Son of God, Jesus said, "You didn't get that from man. You got that from the Lord." This divine knowing—an inner witness—is a critical spiritual sense.
Your Imagination: The Interface With Heaven
One of Bralynn s most fascinating revelations concerns the role of imagination in spiritual communication.
When Paul writes in Ephesians about "the eyes of your heart being illuminated," he's referring to something profound. The word for imagination didn't exist in Greek at the time Paul was writing. The Hebrew concept of "hearts and minds" (yeser) carries the connotation of imagination.
As Bralynn explains, "The screen of our imagination is something that God gave us to interface with Him and to really see what He's doing in heaven so that we know what to do on Earth."
This isn't about making things up—it's about using the interface God designed for spiritual communication.
Understanding Your Destiny Scroll
Perhaps the most intriguing concept Bralynn introduces is the idea of destiny scrolls—what the Bible also refers to as "books" written about each person's life.
What Is a Destiny Scroll?
Psalm 139:16 declares: "I knew all of the days of your life were written in the scroll before you were born."
Bralynn describes it in simple terms: "It's what's been written about your life... Heaven is all about recording and writing everything down."
Some people see their scroll as one book with different chapters (marriage, business, community). Others, like Bralynn, see multiple scrolls—like a library full of possibilities.
How to Access Your Scroll
Even if you can't "see" anything spiritually yet, Bralynn encourages operating by faith:
"By faith, just know that the Lord counts every hair on your head. He cares about you... Heaven is all about recording and writing everything down."
Her daily practice includes:
Receiving her scroll by faith
Asking angels to read it
Praying: "Guard and guide my steps. Put the things in front of me that I need to see and keep distractions far from me."
The Power Behind Your Scroll
Here's something remarkable: "When you receive your destiny scroll for your business, the Lord has spiritual beings on the other side of the veil whose job it is to help you execute it."
You're not building alone. Heaven has assigned help specifically for your destiny.
The Kingdom Covenant of Trade
In 2020, Bralynn received a download that transformed how she understood kingdom business. It came from 1 Samuel 10:25, when Samuel anointed Saul as Israel's first king.
Samuel wrote down in a book:
The responsibility of a king
The responsibility of citizens
How the king would protect, provide, and create an environment for people to thrive
Bralynn spent eight hours in communion, asking Holy Spirit: "What was in that book?"
The result was the Kingdom Covenant of Trade—like a constitution for your business that addresses:
Who your ideal client is and how to speak to them
What problem you solve (not just your solution)
The culture and values you'll provide
Your partnership agreement with heaven
Your day-to-day practices and prayer life
Kingdom strategies for growth
This document informs everything from your marketing to your business plan, because heaven is concerned with solving problems on Earth, not just religious activities.
Soul-Driven vs. Spirit-Led Business
How do you know if you're building from your scroll or from the world's wisdom?
Signs You're Operating Soul-Driven:
Copying what successful people are doing
Creating vision boards from magazines (what you want)
Choosing comfortable, doable goals
Comparing your journey to others
Signs You're Operating Spirit-Led:
Deep, sustainable peace about your direction
Being called to something bigger than your capabilities
Needing to step out of your comfort zone
Operating with "it is finished" energy (tele die in Greek)
Comfortable with not knowing the "how"
As Bralynn powerfully states: "If your goal and your vision is something doable, it's probably not from God. It's probably a part of it, but He probably has a bigger plan."
Removing the Veils
Many entrepreneurs struggle to hear from God because of what Bralynn calls "veils" and "filters"—wounds and lies from childhood that create static over your spiritual gifts.
The lie "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me"? Bralynn calls it what it is: "A lie from the pit of hell."
Those childhood words that said:
"Who do you think you are?"
"You're not good enough"
"You'll never amount to anything"
These create filters that distort your ability to receive from heaven and walk in your true identity as royalty—as a king or queen seated in heavenly places.
The Kings on Fire Program
Bralynn's signature program, Kings on Fire, addresses all these elements systematically:
The Five Pillars:
1. Identity - Igniting Your Inner King Removing poverty mindsets and embracing royalty consciousness
2. Authority Understanding what undermines your authority and how to properly use it
3. Warrior Learning to war from the spirit realm while seated in your throne of rest
4. Priest Becoming the representation of the people to God and God to the people
5. Kingdom Understanding your business is your kingdom with its own rules and covenant
The program comes in both personal and business versions, with the business version partnering with a coach who has built multimillion-dollar coaching businesses.
Accessing Kingdom Intelligence: Heaven's Answer to AI
In November, Bralynn is hosting a free three-day challenge called "Accessing Kingdom Intelligence: Heaven's Answer to AI for Business."
Her message is timely and urgent: "We are in a shift right now of a quantum technology shift... But when we are accessing kingdom intelligence and we're operating from kingdom places, that surpasses all of it."
You don't have to fear AI, quantum technology, or any advancement when you're operating from kingdom intelligence.
The challenge runs November 13-15 and teaches entrepreneurs how to access the wisdom of heaven for their businesses in practical, applicable ways.
The Secret Place
Bralynn also offers a free activation called "Imagination to Secret Place," which teaches:
How to use your imagination properly
Activating your spiritual senses
Establishing your secret place with the Lord
Many believers pray with closed eyes, seeing only darkness, their minds wandering to grocery lists and laundry. But Jesus invites us to meet Him in the secret place—an actual location in the spirit realm.
As Bralynn discovered: "You have a sanctuary, a place where Jesus will meet you and only you... It can look like a room in your mansion that the Lord has prepared for you. It could look like a garden, a mountaintop... whatever is your peaceful place."
Paul says the spirit realm is more real than the physical realm. Your secret place is waiting for you.
No Competition in the Kingdom
One of the most liberating truths Bralynn shares is this: "There is no competition in the kingdom. This online space is not saturated. It's saturated with those who are copying others."
When you grab your scroll and bring forth the heavenly solution to an earthly problem that the Lord has specifically for you, you step into something completely unique.
Your design creates your desire, which leads to your destiny. God designed you to desire the things that help you walk out your calling.
Final Words
Bralynn 's closing blessing captures the heart of this message:
"Walk the way that the Lord is calling you to walk. Don't look to the left or to the right at what someone else is doing. Don't look at someone's success. Don't compare your journey to anyone else's journey because the Lord has a sweet spot for you and He wrote about it before you were born and it's already there. All you need to do is discover it."

Don't Launch to Crickets: Validate Your Offer Before You Build [Ep. 185]

Stop Throwing Parties to Empty Rooms: Why You Need Validation Before Creation
Have you ever planned an event with your whole heart? You've got the decorations, the snacks, the music, the lighting—maybe even that cute sign by the door. You clean the house, light the candles, bring out the good china. You're buzzing with excitement because you know lives are about to be changed.
And then 6:00 PM comes. No one's there.
The doorbell rings—it's your mom. (Thanks, Mom.) A few minutes later, your two friends who you bribed with snacks arrive. 6:30 comes. 7:00 PM comes. And then you realize: no one else is coming.
You close down the party with that sinking feeling mixed with embarrassment and disappointment, asking yourself: Is there something wrong with me?
But here's the truth: Nothing is wrong with you. Nothing was wrong with your excitement, your belief, or your heart.
The only missing piece? Validation before creation.

The Empty Room Problem in Online Business
This exact scenario plays out every single day in the online business world—especially for kingdom women entrepreneurs who build in isolation.
We invest time, energy, and emotion creating programs, courses, and offers before even checking if our people want them. We plan, polish, and perfect. We buy the tech, make the slides, record the lessons, pick the fonts. Then we plan, polish, and perfect again.
And when we finally throw the doors open to our product, we're praying people come rushing in.
Except they don't.
Suddenly it feels like that empty house on party day. You're looking at your work thinking, Lord, did I get this wrong? Did I misunderstand the assignment?
But here's what you need to know: Nothing is wrong with your passion, your calling, or your heart. The Lord wants you to bring that heavenly solution down to that earthly problem.
The problem wasn't your offer. It was your approach.
Why We Build in Bubbles
I see so many kingdom women accidentally repeating this pattern:
Build the curriculum first
Record all the lessons
Design the workbook
Set up the software
Pick the fonts
Then pray it sells
But we never actually ask real humans along the way. We never get feedback. We never test the idea out loud. We build the entire party without knowing who is actually planning to show up.
The solution? A founding member launch that validates your offer idea before you spend months building it.
What Really Holds Us Back
When I work with clients, I see three main reasons we don't put our offers out into the world:
1. Fear (Disguised as Protection)
Fear shows up as procrastination or protection. We procrastinate because we're protecting ourselves from something:
Backlash from friends or family
What coworkers might think
Fear of failure
Fear of success
Ask yourself: What am I protecting myself from?
2. Unknown Territory
Your brain is wired to keep you safe in the familiar. When you step into unknown territory—like launching your first program—your brain sends off alarm signals.
We label those sensations as fear or overwhelm. But really, it's just your brain doing its job, letting you know you're in unfamiliar territory. And that's okay. Because as soon as you do the thing, it becomes familiar. And you start getting the feedback you need.
3. Technology Perfectionism
The link's not perfect. The email automation isn't exactly set up right. The landing page could be better.
Yes, we want to put exceptional things into the world because we're kingdom women entrepreneurs, and all glory goes to our Heavenly Father. But when we wait until it's perfect, we've waited too long.
Because feedback and data are what you need to tweak and get clear on what you're doing.
Here's What You Need to Understand
The feedback you get doesn't mean anything about you. Your identity is rooted in Christ Jesus. Your calling and mission are rooted in the One who called you.
The data just tells you what needs to be tweaked:
Maybe your messaging wasn't clear
Your opt-in page didn't call out your ideal client
Your offer structure needs adjustment
Your call to action wasn't strong enough
But you won't know any of this until you actually put your content, message, or offer out there.
What You Lose When You Don't Launch
When you don't put that idea or offer into the world, you lose:
The data you need to make improvements
Momentum that creates excitement and results
Courage as that fire inside begins to dim
Impact because people are waiting for your heavenly solution
Income because you're not selling your product or service
You stay in preparation mode instead of activation mode.
The First Stage is Supposed to Be Messy
Here's what no one's telling you: The first stage of your business is supposed to be messy.
The women making $5K, $10K, $20K months? They didn't wait for perfection. They launched scrappy. They adjusted and gathered real feedback. That's where you build momentum.
Treat Your Business Like a Scientist
I approach my business like a mad scientist—and I want you to do the same.
Think in experiments and hypotheses. Your founding member launch is an experiment you're testing. When something unexpected happens—revenue dropping, an email flopping, a message that doesn't resonate—don't panic.
Instead, think: Ooh, I wonder why that happened. I wonder what will happen if...
Because nothing in business or life is irreversible:
Broken funnel? No big deal. It's just business Legos. Take it apart, rebuild, make it stronger.
Lost money? Money ebbs and flows. The Lord is your provider.
Screwed up a message? Congratulations—you just earned a PhD in what not to do.
To me, the worst outcome isn't failure. It's never knowing. I don't want to live with the question of "what if" because there was a moment I could have been brave enough to find out, but I didn't.
What Happens When You Actually Get Feedback
When you put your idea out there and get feedback, you receive:
Real, actionable data—not theories or opinions. Evidence of what's working and what's not.
Message clarity—Your message gets louder, stronger, and clearer once you start getting it out there and your ideal clients give you feedback.
Momentum—Results create excitement, and excitement creates momentum you can capitalize on.
Confidence—Actually doing the thing, getting feedback, making tweaks, and seeing results builds confidence that no amount of planning ever will.
Check Your Alignment
Sometimes you can have all the tech working, your messaging on point, your funnel running smoothly, and things still aren't clicking. That's when you need to check:
Am I in alignment with my kingdom assignment?
We can have all the business strategies in the world, but if we're not in alignment with where the Lord wants us to go, some things won't work as well. Spend time with your Heavenly Board of Directors to make sure you're aligned.
Your Action Step Today
Whatever that thing is that you need to put out into the world for feedback—whether it's a piece of content, a post, a podcast episode, or that offer you've been sitting on—validate it.
Put it out into the world. Get the feedback you need.
Stop building in isolation. Stop hoping enthusiasm will equal engagement. Stop throwing parties to empty rooms.
Start testing. Start gathering data. Start building momentum.
Because there are people waiting for your heavenly solution to their earthly problem. And they can't benefit from what you never release.
Ready to Stop Building in Isolation?
If you haven't yet seen consistent $2K-$3K months, it's time to discover the Idea to Income Method—my proven system and the fastest way to launch a profitable, impactful, and sustainable business by God's design.
Join the Idea to Income Live Activation Experience
This FREE 3-day event will help you turn your God-given idea into a profitable offer that actually sells.
Most kingdom women spend six months (or six years) trying to perfect the right niche, the perfect branding, every module—before anyone buys. They build first and pray it works. Then what happens? They launch once, or never at all, and hear crickets. Or maybe they get a buyer or two, but there's no momentum, no consistency, and no repeatable system.
Not because the idea was wrong, but because they built it in isolation with no buyer validation, no market feedback, and no demand before delivery.
That's not going to be you.
In Just 3 Days, You'll Discover How To:
✓ Break free from the "I need to niche down" trap that's keeping you stuck✓ End the start-stop cycle that's wasting your time and energy✓ Validate your offer BEFORE spending months building it✓ Launch scrappy and gather real feedback that creates momentum✓ Build a scalable, validated offer that actually sells✓ Finally hit those consecutive $2K-$3K months with confidence
This Event is Perfect For You If:
You know you're called to entrepreneurship but keep second-guessing your idea
You've been "preparing" for months (or years) but haven't launched yet
You've launched before but heard crickets and don't know why
You're tired of building in isolation and want real market feedback
You're ready to stop guessing and start getting paid to create your offer
Save your seat now: BusinessByGodsDesign.com/Idea
Remember: Success in online business is all about curiosity, not certainty. Give yourself permission to try things that might not work. Because everything in business is an experiment, and every "failure" is just feedback and data you need to succeed.

The Faith-Fueled Reset: How Christian Women Can Trade Burnout for Peace, Purpose, and Power with Special Guest Ashriel Huber [Ep. 184]

From Overthinking to Peace: The Power of a Heavenly Reset
A conversation with Ashriel Huber about Love Moves and finding your reset as a Kingdom business woman
Trading Pressure for Peace
If you're a woman in business who's tired of overthinking, feeling stuck in fear, or carrying the weight of stress on your shoulders, I want you to know something important: you're not broken. You just need a reset.
That's the powerful message my guest Ashriel Huber shares in this episode of the Kingdom Business Revolution podcast. As the creator of Love Moves—a six-minute faith-filled workout for your thoughts and body—Ashriel helps women trade pressure for peace and fear for love.
An Ordinary Woman, An Extraordinary God
Ashriel didn't set out looking for a transformation. Life was fine, even good some days. But beneath the surface, she carried loneliness, anxiety, and fear—shadows she couldn't shake or talk about.
Then Jesus met her in the middle of her ordinary life and pulled off an extraordinary rescue. He woke her up, dusted her off, and reset everything in her mind, body, and soul.
Out of that rescue came Love Moves—first as a personal invitation to move in God's love, then as a ministry to help other women discover their own reset in Him.
As Ashriel beautifully puts it: "The shadows in my story are still there, but now they're a bright backdrop for Jesus to have this rescue and reset."
What's a Heavenly Makeover?
We all love makeovers—the dramatic transformations where someone sits in a chair and emerges looking breathtaking. But how do we get prettier on the inside?
A heavenly makeover isn't about surface changes. It's about:
Lifting off heavy layers of fear, shame, and striving
Replacing lies with God's truth
Working out from the inside by moving your body, mind, and spirit together
The result? People don't necessarily see what changed, but they sense something different. They'll say, "You seem lighter" or "You're more joyful." That's the transformation that happens when you work out from the inside.
Why Your Thoughts Matter in Business
As Kingdom women in business, our thoughts aren't just background noise—they're seeds.
What we think consistently shapes what we believe. What we believe guides our actions. And over time, those actions become our future.
When we operate from fear-based thinking, we:
Hesitate and play small
Shrink from visibility
Fall into comparison traps
Overwork to prove ourselves
Experience burnout
But when our thoughts align with heaven's truth, our lives and businesses begin to reflect heaven too.
As Proverbs 23:7 reminds us: "As she thinks in her heart, so she is."
The Missing Piece for Kingdom Business Women
After working with countless women, I've noticed something: many know their business strategy, but they're missing the understanding of how powerful they truly are.
The enemy knows that if he can get you stuck—especially in the beginning stages of your business—you won't keep moving forward to make the eternal impact God called you to create.
The real power comes from putting your eyes back on the One who called you to the business battlefield, instead of getting distracted by shiny objects and everything going on in the world.
Abiding: Your Connection to the Source
Abiding isn't just an "extra" for Kingdom business women—it's essential.
Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches." When a branch detaches, it withers and dies. The same is true for us spiritually.
But here's what's important to understand: Fruit is the byproduct of abiding, not the proof of it.
You might be in a winter season right now—like those Michigan trees that look bare and lifeless. But you're not dead. You're not failing. You're still rooted, still alive, and still loved.
Abiding doesn't mean nonstop fruit. It means nonstop connection. And the reset of His love is what keeps us steady until the season shifts.
A Message for the Weary Mama
If you're a mom questioning whether you have what it takes, here's what I want you to hear:
You are not dead. You are not failing. You are still rooted, you are still alive, and you are loved.
Abiding doesn't mean always bearing fruit. It means staying connected to the source of life. That's where your heavenly makeover begins.
You don't have to do it all at once. You just need one little reset to start with. One pause to remember:
His love is your reset
His presence is your strength
His word is your anchor
Even in winter, His love is moving in you. And spring will come.
Experience a Mini Reset
During our conversation, Ashriel led us through a simple warrior wake-up reset. Here's how it works:
Roll your shoulders while praying: "Lord, wake us up as warriors, reset our minds and bodies with your peace."
Tap your shoulders (alternating) while asking: "Lord, what heavy burden do you want me to lay down today?"
Tap your knees (alternating) while asking: "Lord, where are you calling me to stand for truth?"
Reach your arms wide and declare three times: "I am called. I am equipped."
Final breath: Inhale "Wake up warrior," Exhale "I fight from victory."
That's it! A tiny mini reset that can shift your whole day.
Why Make Resets a Habit?
God didn't rescue us once and say, "You're done." We leak, we get tired, we drift back into fear or performance or striving. That's why we need daily resets.
Here's the science: Our brains are constantly rewiring based on repeated thoughts and actions. When we do resets regularly, we:
Strengthen pathways to peace, focus, and faith
Replace old defaults of fear and anxiety
Interrupt stress cycles
Activate our rest-and-restore system
Create dual-task learning where body anchors truth in the brain
Eventually, abiding becomes our default response, not the exception.
The Rhythm of Reset
Resets need to become a rhythm—not because you have to, but because you get to live as a Kingdom woman.
Your reset will:
Reconnect you by bringing your eyes back to Jesus
Renew you by interrupting stress cycles and giving you a holy pause
Transform you by retraining your thoughts and wiring in truth
Why make it a habit? Because abiding isn't one and done. Fruit only comes through connection, and your soul will never stop needing His love.
One Reset Changes Everything
Don't underestimate the power of one reset in your life. It was one reset that brought us into the Kingdom.
When you choose to pause, pray, and move into God's love every day, you are:
Rewiring your brain
Restoring your body
Rooting your soul deeper in Jesus
You may feel like a Michigan tree in winter—bare, tired, unfruitful. But you are still alive. You are still called. You are still abiding. You are still God's.
And spring will come.
Until then, remember: moving in His love will reset your soul. And you'll need that every day, because His love is something we need every day.

The #1 Strategy to Explode Your Email List as a Christian Woman in Business—Even If You’re Starting From Zero [Ep. 182]

How to Grow Your Email List Fast with Digital Bundle Events
If you're tired of being a slave to social media and want a proven strategy to grow your email list with qualified subscribers, I'm about to share the game-changing approach that's transformed my business and helped my clients experience massive growth—even when starting with nearly zero subscribers.
Join the Bundles With Impact Cohort
Starting at the end of October 2025 - Join us here

From Three Subscribers to Hundreds: Stacey's Story
Let me tell you about Stacey. She had three people on her email list. Two were the same person (yes, really), and the third was her mom. But when she leveraged the strategy I'm sharing today, everything changed. She significantly grew her email list and successfully launched her beta founding member program right after her first bundle event.
If it worked for Stacey, it can work for you too.
What Are Digital Bundle Events?
A digital bundle event is a collection of high-quality, normally paid-for resources or digital products packaged together and offered to a specific targeted audience to solve a specific problem.
Here's how the magic happens: You bring together multiple contributors, each offering something highly valuable. In exchange for access to these resources, participants sign up with their name and email address.
It's a true win-win-win:
Contributors grow their email lists
Participants receive amazing free resources
You, as the host, expand your reach in a big way
Why Bundles Are My Favorite List-Growth Strategy
Over the past few years, I've hosted multiple bundles, virtual events, summits, roundtables, and private audio podcasts. The result? Thousands of engaged subscribers have joined my email list and those of my collaborators.
My first bundle event alone grew my list by 946 amazing women. And here's the best part: bundles can be put together in 30 days or less with low to mid effort for a high result.
Compare that to virtual summits, which take 90-120 days to organize. While summits offer the biggest bang for your buck, bundles are the fastest, most effective strategy when you want to capitalize on momentum quickly.
Four Powerful Reasons Why Bundle Collaborations Work
1. Massive Exposure
When you collaborate with multiple contributors, you're not just tapping into your own audience—you're accessing the combined reach of every contributor involved. Your bundle has the potential to reach thousands, even tens of thousands of people you might not have been able to reach otherwise.
Don't have a big list yet? That's perfectly fine. You don't need a large audience to host a bundle. In fact, hosting a bundle is the perfect strategy to elevate your authority status and align yourself with other experts in your space. When you do the legwork to create this collaborative platform, contributors will bring their audiences to sign up, which means your email list grows really, really fast.
2. Higher Quality Subscribers
The quality of subscribers you get from a bundle is often higher than other methods because participants opt in for a specific targeted resource that aligns with their interests. These people are more likely to be engaged and interested in what you have to offer.
Bundle participants generally want what you're providing, which means they're likely to open your emails, click your links, and eventually become paying customers.
The key: Make sure your bundle speaks to your ideal client in a specific, targeted way. Avoid making it too fluffy, broad, or vague. You want to attract your level 10 client—that perfect ideal client who will eventually invest in your offers.
3. Valuable Relationship Building
Bundles are a fantastic way to build relationships and network so you can continue collaborating in the future. By working closely with other entrepreneurs, you're not only expanding your reach but also creating valuable connections that lead to future collaborations, joint ventures, and even friendships that support your entrepreneurial journey.
Some of my closest entrepreneurial friends came from collaborating in events, whether I was the host or just a contributor. These people already have things in common with you—you're serving the same ideal clients, making it a perfect place to build your network.
4. Scalability at Every Level
Whether you're just starting out or you're an experienced entrepreneur, you can tailor your bundle to fit your needs. Start small with just a few contributors and grow as you gain confidence and experience. It's completely up to you what kind of bundle event you want to host and how big you want it to be.
Your Quick Step-by-Step Guide to Hosting a Bundle
Step 1: Planning
Choose a theme that resonates with your ideal client and addresses a specific need or problem they have. Remember, it needs to be specific and relevant—not fluffy or vague. Then reach out to potential contributors who align with that theme and topic. Ensure every resource in the bundle provides real value that your audience will be excited about.
Step 2: Execution
Set up a landing page for signups using ThriveCart, your email service provider, Go High Level, or whatever platform you prefer. It doesn't need to be complex—simple works beautifully.
Manage the contributions from your collaborators and plan out your promotional strategy. Make sure everyone knows what's expected of them and when to promote the bundle. Remember, this is a team effort where you're leveraging each other's audiences to grow together.
Step 3: Follow-Up
Once the bundle is over (typically 5-7 days live, with a little extra time for participants to access resources), it's crucial to nurture your new subscribers. Set up a welcome sequence to introduce them to your world, provide additional value, and let them know what to expect from you moving forward. This is where you build the relationship that turns new subscribers into loyal followers and customers.
Perfect Timing for Your Bundle
Right now is the best time of year to put together a bundle event. You can have a holiday bundle ready to drive revenue and momentum as you head into 2026, or prepare a New Year bundle to tap into that fresh-start energy your ideal client is feeling.
Start Small and Scale Up
If this is your first time hosting a bundle event, you don't need to go big right out of the gate. Start with something smaller—maybe just a few contributors—and see how it goes. You'll learn a lot from your first experience, and you can always scale up from there.
The key is consistency. I've seen incredible growth in my email list from hosting bundles consistently. It's not just about the immediate boost in subscribers—it's about the long-term relationships and opportunities that come from these collaborations.
Your Most Valuable Asset
Your email list is your most valuable asset. Social media is not a business growth plan. Digital bundle events offer you a way to grow your list with qualified, engaged subscribers who are genuinely interested in what you offer—without being chained to social media algorithms.
If you haven't yet tried hosting a collaboration event, specifically a digital bundle, I encourage you to give it a try. It could be the game-changer you've been praying for.
Not quite ready to host your own? Start by participating in someone else's bundle event. Search for opportunities in relevant Facebook groups or join communities where bundle opportunities are regularly shared.
Remember: You don't need a massive email list to start. You just need the willingness to collaborate, serve your audience with value, and take that first step.
Ready to grow your email list without being a slave to social media? Digital bundle events might be exactly what your business needs to reach the next level.

Why High Ticket Offers Aren’t Selling: Building a Trust Pathway Offer That Converts in 2025 & 2026 - For Christian Women Entprepreneurs [Ep. 181]

Welcome to the Trust Recession: Why Beginners Are Winning in 2025
Why high ticket isn't dead—but the old way of selling it is
Join us inside The Activation Room! https://go.kristindronchi.com/activation-room
 
The Real Problem Isn't What You Think
A potential client recently shared something that stopped me in my tracks. After months of building her first offer in isolation, she finally launched—and got zero sales.
When we dug deeper, she said something profound: "I don't think people really trust me yet. Not because I'm not good at what I do, but because they don't know who I am."
That conversation perfectly captures the 2025 market landscape. It's not that people aren't buying—it's that they're buying differently.
We're Not in a Financial Crisis. We're in a Trust Recession.
Here's what most entrepreneurs are missing: Buyers aren't broke. They're burned.
They're done with overpriced promises that don't deliver. They're skeptical by default. Their attention is shorter than ever, and they're looking for more than bold claims and flashy marketing.
The good news? If you're in the beginning stages of your business, you're not behind. You're actually ahead. You have the chance to build the one thing this market values most: trust.
And if you're a Kingdom woman entrepreneur? You have a unique advantage in restoring trust to the online space.
Why Traditional Strategies Are Failing
The old playbook looked like this:
Run paid ads to cold leads
Funnel them through a webinar or live launch
Sell high-ticket programs ($2K-$10K+) immediately
Minimal personal involvement, maximum automation
This approach worked beautifully three to five years ago. But in 2025? It's dead in the water.
Here's why: The trust deficit has changed buyer behavior completely.
Your ideal clients are bringing past disappointments into every purchasing decision. They've been burned by courses that overpromised and under-delivered. They've paid for "personal access" only to be handed off to a team member. They've invested thousands in information they could have Googled.
So now, even though they have the financial means and desire for premium solutions, they're taking longer to decide. They're more discerning. They need to see proof that you can actually deliver results before committing to high-ticket investments.
The Currency Has Changed: From Information to Transformation
People aren't looking for:
Free information (they can get that from AI)
Educational content without application
Surface-level engagement
Empty promises and expert status
They are looking for:
Real, tangible transformation
Authentic relationships and human connection
The ability to "test drive" before committing
Proof that you can actually solve their problem
Here's a powerful question to consider: If you had to give someone a transformation and solve their problem BEFORE they paid you, how would you show up? What kind of service would you provide?
That's the standard your market is demanding right now.
The New Winning Model: The Trust Pathway
The businesses thriving in 2025 aren't abandoning high-ticket offers. They're just changing the path to get there.
Instead of the old model (cold leads → discovery calls → live launch → high ticket), the new model looks like this:
Phase 1: The Trust Pathway Offer
Low barrier entry point (think: impulse buy, like grabbing a candy bar at checkout)
Low price, low commitment, low risk
Delivers a genuine quick win and real transformation
Proves your expertise and methodology
Brings clients into your ecosystem by the hundreds
Phase 2: Momentum & Transformation
Clients experience real results from your trust pathway offer
Builds confidence and trust in you and your process
Creates natural desire for deeper engagement
Clients tell you what they want next
Phase 3: The Internal Upsell
Seamless transition to mid or high-ticket offerings
Clients are pre-qualified and ready to invest
Higher conversion rates due to established trust
You're selling to an internal buyer's list, not cold leads
Why This Changes Everything
Think about the difference:
Old Model: You're constantly spending money to reach strangers (external acquisition), who take longer to convert because they don't trust you yet. Even when they do convert, the rates are lower.
New Model: You have an internal pool of people who have already experienced results with you. They trust you. They've seen your methodology work. The next step feels natural, not risky.
High ticket isn't dead—it's just evolved. The demand is absolutely still there. But buyers want that trust pathway first.
Your Beta Launch: The Perfect Starting Point
If you're just getting started, now is actually the perfect time to launch. Here's why:
You can do a beta or founding member launch—even for what will eventually be your high-ticket program. Bring in your first clients at a lower investment while you create the program with them. They get tremendous results at a discount. You get:
Revenue while you build
Testimonials and social proof
Real feedback to refine your offer
Confidence in your methodology
Proof of concept for future sales
After your beta launch, you'll determine: Is this my high-ticket offer that I'll now sell at full price? Or is this my trust pathway that leads to something bigger?
Either way, you win.
Why Kingdom Entrepreneurs Have an Advantage
The trust recession creates a unique opportunity for Kingdom women entrepreneurs. Why?
Because you're called to:
Deliver real value and genuine transformation
Build authentic relationships
Serve with excellence and integrity
Stay connected to your people
Lead with conviction and boldness
These aren't just nice qualities—they're exactly what the market is desperate for right now.
You have the opportunity to restore trust to an industry drowning in empty promises. And when you do, you won't just survive this market shift—you'll thrive in it.
The Path Forward: Three Critical Mindset Shifts
1. Embrace Authentic Authority Step fully into your God-given expertise. Lead boldly, without apology. Your convictions matter. The market needs more genuine voices, not less.
2. Build Trust Before Asking for Major Investment Create low-barrier entry experiences that deliver real value. Prove your methodology works before selling high-ticket. View every stage of the customer journey as an opportunity to serve.
3. Focus on Internal Buyers, Not Just External Leads Stop pouring all your energy into reaching strangers. Build a trust pathway that converts at scale, then upsell your internal buyer's list to higher-ticket offerings.
The Bottom Line
The market isn't broken—it's evolved. The rules have changed. And those who adapt won't just survive; they'll thrive.
People are still spending. They're still buying. They're just more careful about where their money goes. High-ticket services have a bright future—especially as AI tries to take over and people crave genuine human connection even more.
Trust is the new currency. Authenticity is how you earn it. Transformation is the only product worth selling.
The world is drowning in information. But activation? Human connection? Real results? Those are in short supply. And that makes them incredibly valuable.
So the question isn't whether this market will reward the trust-first approach. It already is.
The only question is: Will you adapt to capitalize on it?
Ready to build the foundations of a trust-based business that actually gets results? The activation room is currently open for founding members at just $37/month. Learn how to map your signature framework, launch your beta offer, and create a trust pathway to your high-ticket programs.  Learn more here!
