When I first started my business, IN NO WAY did I believe that I was going to make it to the top. But here is how I changed that.
I was willing to fight the battle in my mind. And I was fighting it well BEFORE I ever started a business.
As a teenage mother I was determined to learn how to be a good parent. The voices of shame in my head told me I didnt-and couldn’t possibly-know what I was doing since I didn’t start the right way. The shame often convinced me I was going to ruin my kids.
Going through a divorce compounded the shame and feelings of unworthiness. I fought this battle in my mind daily by reading good Christian parenting books.
A few years later, the Lord lead me to homeschool my children. I was no stranger to fear and regularly wondered if I truly was capable of giving my kids the education they needed since I was, after all, a high school dropout. I did go to college but I didn’t finish because motherhood responsibilities became the priority. I fought this battle in my mind daily by reading books about how to successfully homeschool.
I did, by God’s grace, successfully homeschool my children.
A few years ago when I started my business, I didn’t feel worthy or “special” enough to make it to the top. I worried quite often what people thought of me and that held me back so much!! I looked at the people at the top and thought “I am not as smart/beautiful/charismatic/successful as they are and I don’t know if I can be.” I fought this battle daily in my mind by reading good books about sales, leadership, and mindset.
I am now a top leader in the company, serve on the company advisory board, and have developed quite a few 6 figure earners. I am confident I can accomplish whatever I decide to accomplish. I am also confident I can help others accomplish whatever they decide to accomplish.
And I STILL read these books daily because that is what it takes to fight the battle in my mind.
It’s not that I don’t struggle. It’s just that I am willing to fight the battle for the rest of my life. Are you?
What are you doing to fight the battle in your mind?
Reflection Questions
What voices of shame, fear, or unworthiness have shaped my beliefs about what I’m capable of—and where did those beliefs begin?
How have past experiences or “imperfect starts” influenced the way I view my ability to succeed today?
What habits am I currently using (or avoiding) to fight the battle in my mind and renew my thinking daily?
Where am I letting comparison or fear of others’ opinions hold me back from stepping fully into what God has called me to do?
If I truly believed growth is possible through consistency and obedience, what would I commit to learning or practicing every day?

Want to Build a Business From Home?
I mentor busy mommas through a network marketing business model that lets you build your own business on your own schedule—without having to invent a product or create all your business systems from scratch. You earn commission through your own sales and by helping others succeed, with no income cap, proven success systems, and mentorship already in place.
This may be for you if you:
✨ Want a scalable business with real income potential
✨ Value integrity, personal growth, and biblical principles
✨ Are willing to work consistently (about 10 hours a week)

~Care more about comfort than growth
~Don't care about reaching your potential
~Don't want to be challenged
~Avoid responsibility or accountability
If you’re curious whether this is a good fit, apply for mentorship and we’ll talk it through.

Top Books That Shaped My Biblical Perspective About Money
The exact books that reshaped how I think about money, work, wealth, generosity, and stewardship {from a biblical perspective} with real-life application.
I’m Brittney Howard - wife, mom of six, and business mentor for Christian women who want to provide for their families without sacrificing presence at home. Years ago, I was studying the Proverbs 31 woman and was struck by how industrious she was - how she used her wisdom and business savvy to bless her family financially. I wanted to be like that.
The problem? I had zero business experience, no career background, and as an introvert living in a tiny country town, I barely knew anyone. I tried and failed at several things before discovering network marketing - a business model that gave me products I believed in, skills I could learn, and mentors to guide me. Over time, I built not only a thriving business but also the confidence and leadership to help other women do the same. Now I mentor ambitious Christian moms to build six-figure network marketing businesses on biblical principles, without manipulation, without hustle, and without sacrificing their faith or family.
Here’s what I believe:
• The world says strive → God says surrender.
• The world says hurry → God says walk faithfully.
• The world says achieve → God says be fruitful.
• The world says hustle harder → God says be diligent.
I believe profit is simply the reward for serving people well. I believe diligence honors God more than hustle. And I believe that when we build our businesses faithfully, the fruit of it impacts generations.
