The Amanda Ferguson Show

As humans, we are constantly looking for validation. In this episode, I will discuss what it takes to be courageous and how to pursuit your dreams without asking others for permission.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that God has called you to be a Pioneer. Pioneers do not have patterns, they start patterns. They blaze the trail and blazing trails can be uncomfortable.

Listen in to get these three tips on having the courage to pursue your dreams and more!

1. [1:03] You must have the confidence to stand up for yourself and protect your dreams.

2. [5:10 ] Keep your mouth closed when surrounded by people that don’t have your drive and motivation.

3. [ 9:03] You can only do what God has placed in your heart.

You might feel the least qualified but you must lean on God’s divine instructions for your life. When God is calling you, it’s because He has a plan for you.

Are you afraid of failure?
In Episode 2 of The Amanda Ferguson Show, I share the many things that I failed in. Often, we are afraid of failure because we view failure as a negative. We associate people that fail as failures. It is not true!

This episode will remind you that sometimes failure is God’s plan. I have failed at several ventures throughout my life. Ventures that I never truly believed in, ventures that were not built on a firm foundation, and ultimately ventures that were not in God’s plan. Without failure, I would’ve continued making the same mistakes.

I would encourage you to fail more often, fail every single day. People only see the success, but you know all the work it took behind the scenes.

I want to challenge you not to compromise your relationship with God to get rich quick. Rather make sure your business is Christ-centered and allows you to not only prosper financially but also maintain the biblical principles of your home.

Allow me to speak into your life through this episode and remind you that there’s a significant thing that God has placed in you, for you to show the world and be a blessing for his glory to be revealed.

Strategies on why failure is NOT a bad thing:

1. [4:26] Advertising a product that is not in line with who you are or what you believe in is not authentic. If you have failed with this, at least you have tried. Behind a successful person, there was a failure.

2. [8:57] Not everyone is called to be an entrepreneur. However, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have an additional source of income.

3. [19:33] Be prepared to put in the work. Hard work is part of the process. How bad do you want it?

4. [21:27] Remember not to follow your passion but your work ethic.

Welcome to The Amanda Ferguson show! In this first episode, I share the experience that I had during the months leading up to my mother’s passing in 2011.

I talked about the grief, financial stress, and emotional burdens that I endured. It was a rough patch for me.

Fast forward to several years later in my attempt to start my consulting business. I ran into difficulties wanting to go into the corporate world while having an exclusively breastfed newborn who didn't take a bottle. Both of those experiences changed the trajectory of my life as I soon saw a common theme: “ My obstacles were simply opportunities for God's glory to be revealed.”

How obstacles turn into opportunities:

[10:20] You can turn traumatic or bad life experience into a financial opportunity.

[13:20] Don’t let financial stress to bury that one thing you were passionate about. It is time to use it as an opportunity.

[17:21] If your obstacle is transportation or family related, use that as an opportunity to go online and create extra income.
