Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Monique Addison-Stinson, founder of Business Church Life, located in Pensacola, FL, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I help Pastors and Ministry Leaders move from overwhelmed & exhausted to calm & equipped Leaders who ACTUALLY love being in ministry.

Tell us about yourself

Hi! I'm Monique Addison-Stinson, and I have several certifications in the health space. Most recently, I became an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. As a Ministry Leader, I watched other Pastors & Ministry Leaders struggle with their health, and after reading some staggering statistics, I vowed to help.

I was shocked to read in the Duke Divinity Journal that weight, mental health, heart disease, and stress are the most critical issues concerning clergy. I also read a study of South Carolinian African American Episcopal Pastors that found that 93% of A.M.E. pastors were overweight, 68% of A.M.E. pastors suffered from hypertension, and 35% of A.M.E. pastors suffered from two or more chronic health conditions such as diabetes. That's when I created Business Church Life to address these issues.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment is being launched soon!!! The Burnout Prevention Method course will launch soon, and I'm so excited!!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

As a burnout prevention coach, I'll say one of the hardest things about being a business owner is preventing burnout. Creating a schedule and sticking to it helps tremendously.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Remember, it's never too late to start.
  2. Be o.k. with people not understanding your vision because it's NOT THEIR VISION.
  3. Don't rely on family and friends to support your business.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Just believe in yourself. YOU CAN DO IT!
