Well, welcome back to redefining hustle navigating
success as a Christian woman. Did you catch
that? You've had a little tweak to our
podcast
title.
And in this brief episode, I would love
to take you through why
that was placed on my heart, I believe
by the holy spirit, and what does it
mean to navigate versus
pursue?
Hi my high achieving sister in Christ. Have
you experienced great business or professional heights in
your own strength, but you still feel empty
and unfulfilled?
Is your outward success clashing with your values
and priorities,
especially your faith?
If over achievement is like a badge of
honor for you, you'll find relief and respite
here. Welcome to redefining hustle, navigating success as
a Christian woman the weekly podcast for high
achieve like you who desire harmony between their
faith and ambition.
I'm Aaron Har, a Christian wife emptiness mom,
entrepreneur and recovering over
who felt those same things.
When I prayed for a better way to
work, God responded with let me drive
then he led me to help women like
you through my speaking, coaching and writing.
My mission is teaching you that success doesn't
require buying into the world's frantic
definition of hustle or into the so called
anti hustle movement.
Instead you can meet me in the middle
right here to redefine hustle and navigate success
with God as your Ceo.
Each week will spend a focus 15 minutes
connecting biblical truth to business with practical
application, so you can tune out the world,
tune into God's truth and turn out focus.
The truth is god made you ambitious. But
he didn't make you to do business as
usual. If this is the reminder that you
need today, let's dive in together.
I encourage you to go listen to episode
02:59
about navigating
success and your prayers for God's
direction because that
really is where the holy spirit found me
as I was recording that episode, and he
said it's time to change the podcast name.
So let me take you back for a
little bit of history. If you're new here,
this podcast celebrated its fifth birthday in February
of 20 24.
When I started the podcast, I didn't have
a professional microphone. I just had
some,
earbuds that were connected to a cord plugged
into my laptop. The sound was terrible,
but the point was to get out the
message. That god had given me. And in
that season,
what God had
directed me to speak about was
how to hustle with heart and heart
stood for helping entrepreneurs
align results to god's truth.
And that is really
was
from the beginning of Aaron Har coaching in
20 18, the formal beginning,
because I've been coaching for a while.
That is the message that he gave me
to share. And in fact,
content from the podcast,
then became part of my first book pursuing
success God's way, a practical guide to hustle
with heart, which I see is really the
handbook of how do we
operate as Christian women in
a marketplace that wants us to do more
and to be more and to drive for
more
and to work constantly and to believe all
of the lies of the enemy around what
it takes to be an entrepreneur. Now, I'm
not saying that it doesn't take hard work
because it does.
That said, we were also not made to
work in constant chaos. We were not made
to be over.
We were not meant to
toil, day and night, as it says, I
believe in Psalm 01:27.
But
instead,
we were
blessed with ambition,
but not to operate
as the world operates. In other words, you've
heard me say, not to do business as
usual.
And
that
title worked great for me for
3
years or so. In 20 22,
however,
through some
collaboration with a mastermind that I was in,
It became clear that the message that God
was asking me to bring forth at that
time. This was the fall of 20 22
was really around this idea of redefining hustle.
The anti hustle movement, if you will started
to take shape,
hu was really getting
a negative
connotation a very aggressive frantic, chaotic,
definition of hustle seemed to be everywhere. And
so everyone was really bucking the trend
to hustle.
However,
what the Lord was showing me is that
the definition of Hu
in the dictionary is really about
working with intention and purpose, and he connected
that dot for me to show me how
Jesus works. Jesus works with intention and purpose.
When he was here on the earth,
he worked with intention. He worked with purpose.
He worked with a sense of timing, and
he always sought his father first.
And that
truly is what Hustle looks like. It means
to be dedicated to the purpose
that you've been given in me needs to
be steadfast. It means to work with discipline.
And as a friend of mine said,
hu is really about not giving up regardless
of what the outcomes
may or may not look like, and particularly
when you are following Jesus
and walking in the mission in the marketplace
that he's given you.
That it means
you're not believing what doesn't seem to be
appearing. You're believing the Lord and the direction
that he's given you. And that served us
well
for
the time that that that's been around. Redefining
household pursuing success God's way became the title
of the podcast
in November of 20 22.
Now fast forward to where we are today,
on episode 02:59,
Really talked about that it's not the pursuit
of success,
it's really about navigating, and here's why friends
because as high achieving women
We are great at pursuit.
We are great at going after it and
getting it done. We are great at hitting
the milestones and hitting the goals And in
fact, we've been really good at achieving some
level of success in our own strength.
And then we hit a wall as I
did in 20 14,
where that outward
success
is causing
inward emptiness inward
turmoil,
inward un fulfillment, and we can't figure out
what's missing.
And as
a recovering driver driver and achievement Chaser. I
was constantly chasing the next, the next contract,
the next client, the next sales goal. I
was constantly chasing the next stage worthy moment,
the next comment in my paycheck. I was
chasing
the luxury car, which I got and the
big house, which I got. But though I
had those things
in October of 20 14,
I was completely unfulfilled, and that's because in
my pursuit,
the hole that I was seeking to fill
could not be filled, could not be
satisfied
could could never be quench
with the things of this world. It could
only be quench with Jesus because it was
a Jesus shaped hole.
And so therefore,
as we step forward as high achieving
daughters of the most high king. It's not
about the pursuit were good at the pursuit
and sometimes to our own fault.
It's the
navigation. Why?
Because we're so used to navigating business and
boardroom rooms, the way We've always been taught,
the way that has been modeled for us,
the way that our mentors have shown us.
The way that men in business in board
rooms have operated.
But to follow Jesus to be fully surrendered
as my friend T lin says to be
10 toes down
to be all in, which is which is
a vernacular from my days in multi level
marketing,
to be all in for Jesus,
to allow him to take the wheel and
be our great positioning shepherd our Gps to
allow him to direct us.
We have to learn to navigate
differently.
We have to navigate with humility.
We have to navigate with surrender
We've to navigate from a place of obedience
and worship
and listening
and a willingness to put aside our
great
for his
best.
It doesn't take pursuit.
It takes
navigation,
and that is why
this podcast will now be known
as redefining hustle,
navigating
success
as a Christian woman
because being a Christian woman being a daughter
of the king and a follower of Jesus
and allowing the holy spirit to have his
way day in and day out in our
business and in our work.
Looks different
than the way everyone else navigate
the world of success, the world of business,
the world of corporate life.
And that is the reason for the change
in the title. I pray
that this
opens your ears and deepens your listening
on these episodes, quite honestly all of the
content that
has been recorded in this podcast over the
last 5 and a half years. Points to
navigating. It's just that the Lord works on
us and he he took me into a
different perspective of what this show is supposed
to be. And therefore, while the content has
always been there, it was time for this
change. So I pray that this change bless
you, I prayed that this also
opens your mind to who else needs to
hear this show?
Where could you share this with a sister
in Christ, who is in business?
Where could you share this with a sister
in Christ, who's leading an organization, Whatever that
might look like I pray that this title
opens your mind,
and your eyes to who else could benefit
from this content and
before I go.

You're probably swimming in opportunities
overflowing with ideas and excited about the possibilities.
But you're overwhelmed thinking, how can I set
a strategy when I'm trying to run a
business and be productive?
There are so many ideas and opportunities, how
do I decide what's worth pursuing?
I don't have time to waste on things
that don't align to the vision and mission
that God's given me.
My client Jen felt this way. As she
sought to scale her business with a God
honoring strategy.

with Aaron was just what I needed. She
helped me look at my current services, dream
about the future and create a plan to
grow and scale.

day to day tactical tasks is a magical
combination I've never seen before.

foundation of faith.
