Massive Spirit-Led Action: The Missing Ingredient in Your Business Growth

One of the most reliable ways to get results in life and in business is to take action — but not just any action. It’s action that’s aligned with your goals and your vision that actually moves the needle.

What Tony Robbins Gets Right

Personal development expert Tony Robbins teaches that success requires massive, determined action, built on three core steps:

  1. Absolute clarity on your goal
  2. A deep emotional purpose
  3. A non-stop execution plan

It’s a solid framework, and one that’s helped a lot of people build real momentum. But as a believer in business, I’ve come to see each of these three steps a little differently.

The Kingdom Version of Massive Action

Here’s how I’d reframe it:

  1. It’s not just clarity on your goals — it’s clarity on your vision. Specifically, your God-given vision for your business. Goals can be adjusted, chased, and revised. A vision from God is something you’re stewarding, not something you invented — and that distinction changes how you pursue it.
  2. It’s not just a deep emotional purpose — it’s alignment with your God-given mission. Emotional purpose can motivate you for a season. Alignment with a God-given mission sustains you well past the point where emotion alone would’ve run out.
  3. It’s not just non-stop execution — it’s massive Spirit-led action. Execution without direction is just movement. Spirit-led execution is momentum with purpose behind it.
As believers in business, we’ve been given something Robbins’ framework doesn’t account for: the Holy Spirit. That means we don’t have to be expert-led, coach-led, or guru-led as the ultimate authority on our next move. We have access to something more — the gift and blessing of being Spirit-led in business.

Where Spirit-Led Action Shows Up

There are a few key areas where I’ve seen this play out most clearly:

  • Opportunities. What opportunities have come your way that you’ve delayed — but that you still feel led to pursue? Sometimes Spirit-led action is nothing more dramatic than taking the next step on something already in front of you. It’s moving past doubt and fear to take a step of faith on an opportunity you’ve already been given.
  • Ideas. What ideas have you been sitting on because they felt too big, or because you didn’t feel qualified, or because you genuinely didn’t know how you’d pull it off? Spirit-led action often means moving forward on a God-given idea despite the uncertainty of how it will work out — not after the uncertainty resolves.
  • Collaborations. Who have you been meaning to reach out to? Spirit-led action frequently requires connecting with someone else to make something happen. God rarely wants us to do it alone — He lays specific people on our hearts to partner with. Sometimes the action isn’t a big strategic move at all. It’s simply reaching out to the person He’s already put on your heart.

Why Being Spirit-Led Actually Matters

  • Alignment. When you’re led by the Holy Spirit, you’re aligned with the will of God — and that alignment brings ease and flow into your business. It lets you choose activities that fit the way God designed you and designed your business, which is what allows you to actually stand out in the marketplace. In partnership with God, things that would otherwise be hard get done with ease and grace.
  • Attraction. Spirit-led action creates attraction toward the specific people you’re called to serve. It draws in your aligned, ideal clients — and it naturally repels the ones you weren’t meant to serve. That’s not a coincidence; it’s what happens when your actions are actually in step with your assignment.

The Bottom Line

If you want results that are aligned with your God-given vision and mission, take action. But don’t settle for just any action — take massive Spirit-led action.

You Are What You Believe

“You’re in the business of selling belief in outcomes.”

That’s what a colleague said to me during a conversation about my business, and it hit me like a ton of bricks. I am in the business of belief? I sat with that for a while, because it named something I’d been teaching my clients for years without ever naming it as the core of what I do.

Belief Was the Foundation All Along

What she didn’t know is that my foundational program already teaches belief as part of its framework — the B.E.S.T. Spiritual Way to Grow Your Business. The B in B.E.S.T. stands for Belief, and it’s not a soft, feel-good add-on. It’s the load-bearing wall of the whole framework.

In order to actually grow a business, I’ve found there are four distinct beliefs you need to hold — and if any one of them is missing, growth stalls.

The Four Beliefs You Need to Grow Your Business:

1. Belief that you are co-creating with God

The business is God’s idea. You are a steward of that idea, offering a solution He designed for the marketplace — not the sole owner of a thing you built from scratch. That’s a real mindset shift: from owning your business to stewarding it, and understanding that God is the true owner. 

Believing you’re partnering with God in business is the starting point everything else builds on.

2. Belief in yourself.

If you’re anything like me, you may wrestle with questions about your own capability. But growing a business requires believing that God gave you the vision for a reason. God gives each of us T.A.G.S: Talents, Abilities, Gifts, and Skills. 

Those are what allow you to accomplish your assignment on earth, and specifically, your assignment in the marketplace. Belief in yourself isn’t optional — it’s key to your success.

3. Belief in your business

You have to believe your business is viable, sustainable, and was created to help people who genuinely need what you offer. Without that belief, growth and scale become an uphill battle. 

This belief should include confidence in the unique way your business solves the problem — the specific angle, approach, or delivery that’s yours. 

That belief is what pushes the business forward, especially in the moments when growth feels slow.

4. Belief in your product or service.

Last, but just as essential: you have to believe wholeheartedly that what you’re selling is the best solution for the problem you’re solving in the marketplace. 

If you’re not fully convicted that you have the right product or service, it will be almost impossible to convince a consumer that you do. 

Conviction is contagious — and so is doubt.

So, Are You in the Business of Belief?

After sitting with what I actually teach my clients at the foundation of marketing and business growth, I’ve come to agree with her: I am in the business of belief. You could argue we’re all selling belief in an outcome — but that outcome-selling only works when it’s built on belief in God, belief in yourself, and belief in your business first.

So I’ll ask you the same question that started this whole reflection: Are you in the business of belief?

Perfectly Planned v. Purposefully Prepared

Jeremiah [29:11] is one of the most quoted verses in scripture, and for good reason: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you,
plans to give you hope and a future.”

It’s a beautiful promise. His plan includes prospering you, giving you hope, giving you a future. God’s plan is the only truly perfect plan.

But here’s the tension I’ve had to sit with as a business owner: God’s perfect plan doesn’t always look like the perfect plan we’ve built for ourselves — or for our businesses.

Why Our Plans and God's Plan Don't Always Match

Isaiah 55:8 explains why: God’s thoughts are not our thoughts, and His ways are not our ways. Which means the plan we conceive in our minds — the launch calendar, the quarterly goals, the five-year vision — may not be the same plan God has already written for us.

That gap requires something specific from us: surrender. We have to be willing to lay down our own perfect plans so that God’s perfect plan can actually reach fruition. In practice, in a business, that can look like abandoning what you thought you should do in order to be obedient to what God is actually calling you to do in this season.

When You're a Planner, This Is Hard

I’ll be honest about who I am: I’m a type-A personality and a planner, through and through. I have a plan for the quarter. I have a plan for the month. I have a plan for the day.

So the practice of sitting with the Lord daily — and letting that conversation adjust my plans — doesn’t come naturally. It’s a discipline. But it’s one that’s changed how I run my business, because it means my daily, monthly, and quarterly plans stay open-handed instead of fixed.

I’ve shared before about laying down my plans in a very concrete way: taking an entire quarter off to rest and abide in the Lord. That pause wasn’t something I planned for the year. It wasn’t on the calendar. But it was necessary — because God wasn’t just interested in what I’d do next. He was purposefully preparing me for it first.

Preparation Is Often About Being, Not Doing

Here’s the shift that reframed the whole season for me: sometimes God’s preparation involves less doing and more being — becoming the person He’s calling you to be, so that later you’re actually equipped to do the things He’s calling you to do.

That kind of preparation can look like:

  • Learning patience in the process
  • Expanding your capacity to receive
  • Increasing your ability to handle and manage what’s ahead
  • Building your confidence
  • Developing your courage

None of those are line items on a business plan. But all of them are the actual groundwork for whatever comes next.

Trading the Perfect Plan for the Prepared Path

What God needs to prepare in you is going to look different depending on who He designed you to be and what He’s assigned you to do. There’s no universal template for it.

So I’ve stopped trying to build the perfect plan. Instead, I’m learning to trust God in the process — trusting that He is purposefully preparing me for exactly what He desires for me to do next, even when the timeline doesn’t match what I would have chosen.

If you’re a planner like me, that’s not permission to stop planning. It’s an invitation to plan with open hands.

Strive v. Abide: Why I Paused My Business for an Entire Quarter

To strive is to exert strenuous effort — to try exceptionally hard, to vigorously contend against difficulties in pursuit of a goal. It’s the word most of us would use to describe what it takes to build a business. Hustle harder. Push through. Grind it out.

But that’s the world’s way of building a business. God’s way is very different — and it includes rest.

The Word That Changed My Quarter

To abide is to remain, to continue, to dwell in a certain state, place, or condition. God asks something of us while we build: that we remain in Him, even as we’re building the thing He called us to build. Matthew [11:28] puts it plainly: “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” It’s an instruction, not a suggestion — and for entrepreneurs especially, it’s the antidote to the overwhelm and burnout that come from trying to build a business entirely on our own strength.

What Abiding Actually Looked Like For Me

For me, abiding wasn’t a mindset shift I made while still running at full speed. It was a decision. I took the entire second quarter off and paused the daily activity of my business so I could actually hear from God about the next right step. That decision didn’t come out of nowhere. Going into the first quarter, I had a plan. I believed I knew exactly what God was calling me to do this season: launch a collaborative book and host a local retreat. I moved forward in faith, doing the work. But somewhere along the way, the effort started to feel like striving rather than abiding. I was working at something instead of walking with Him through it. And the results reflected that shift — despite genuinely feeling called to both projects, the fruit wasn’t there. That disconnect between calling and outcome was the signal I needed: it was time to stop and ask what God was really calling me to do in this season.

The Pause Wasn't a Quick Fix

I wish I could tell you that after three months of stepping back, I emerged with total clarity — a five-point plan and a launch date. That’s not what happened. I came out of the pause still unclear. The rest didn’t hand me a roadmap; it just made space. Clarity came later, and it came through community — I was invited to a quarterly planning workshop and strategy session, and it was in that room, surrounded by other people doing the work of discernment, that the plan and the next steps finally became clear. That’s a lesson in itself: sometimes abiding doesn’t produce answers in isolation. Sometimes it prepares you to recognize the answer when it shows up somewhere you didn’t expect — in this case, in a room built for exactly that kind of clarity.

What's Next

I’m genuinely excited about what’s ahead. The focus God gave me coming out of this season is working with women of faith in business — helping them build in a way that holds both excellence and rest, both strategy and surrender.

I’ll be sharing more about what this looks like in the coming weeks. If you want to be the first to hear the announcements — and get a free download as my thank-you for joining — sign up for my weekly newsletter at nadinemullings.com/power.

If any part of this resonated — if you’ve felt the difference between striving and abiding in your own business — I’d love to hear about it. Sometimes the pause is the most productive thing you’ll do all year.

8 ways a mastermind group can help you grow your business

I’ve been involved in mastermind groups for over 8 years. Mastermind groups are an amazing way to grow your business. Through masterminds, I have been able to gain new clients, grow my business, and make valuable connections.

So what exactly is a Mastermind? The concept of business masterminds became popular from the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill defined as “The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony. No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind [the master mind].”

I also like the definition provided in this article Mastermind Groups: Everything You Need to Know by Ramsey Solutions, it says, “a Mastermind group consists of a small group of people who want to grow in some capacity at an accelerated rate. Because of this, they commit to getting together regularly—online or in person—to discuss goals, get support and advice for their challenges, and build a network of like-minded professionals who keep them accountable.

In this post I will share 8 ways a mastermind can help to grow your business.

1. Connections

When you are in an intimate mastermind you make lifelong connections and friendships. These connections allow you to grow in life and in business. With these connections it opens you up to the member’s of your masterminds network and connections, which helps you to go further faster

2. Collaborations

Your mastermind peers can be great collaboration partners. I have partnered with and collaborated with several individuals from the various mastermind groups that I have participated in. These collaborations have helped to grow my business

3. Referrals

Referrals can be one of the best ways to grow your business and I have given and received several referrals from members of my mastermind groups.  Although giving referrals is not a requirement for being in mastermind group, it is a natural thing that tends to occur in a mastermind group

4. Focus

Being involved in a mastermind group that also includes content and curriculum really helps you to focus on the key things that you need to do to grow your business

5. Accountability

A mastermind group helps you to stay accountable to the things that you said you will do and the goals that you set for your business

6. Support

A mastermind group can offer you a safe and supportive environment to be vulnerable with what is going on in your life and in your business

7. Resources

Through my mastermind group I have learned about various tools that have helped me to be more effective and efficient in my business

8. Clarity

One of the advantages of a mastermind is being able to come to the group with a specific issue, problem, struggle or challenge and getting a fresh perspective on how to come to a solution

And this is why I have been a member of various mastermind groups and why I lead and facilitate my own mastermind group, The Master’s Mind:  A powerful mastermind for women of faith in business. 

As a member of The Master’s Mind, you will get all of the above and more. In addition, this mastermind focuses on not only your business growth, but your personal and spiritual growth too.
