What would happen to your business if you stepped away for a year?

In today’s wisdom-filled conversation, I’m joined by Fran Tabor, Christian entrepreneur and author who built and sustained a million-dollar family business for nearly five decades—starting with just $2,000. Fran’s journey isn’t about hustle. It’s about learning to steward time, faith, and responsibility as God’s business, not her own.

We talk about:

How to build a business that can function without you
Why urgency and busyness are poor leadership strategies
The powerful question every business owner should ask: “How is my community better off because my business exists?”

When Fran stepped away for an entire year to care for her mother in hospice, her business continued to operate. That season reshaped her understanding of obedience, surrender, and biblical time stewardship. She reminds us to never tell God “never,” to stay in the game, and to train others well enough that the business isn’t dependent on our constant presence.

This episode challenges Christian women entrepreneurs to stop undervaluing themselves, to see their employees as extensions of their leadership, and to build purpose-driven businesses that both give and receive with gratitude.

If you’re ready to move from striving to stewarding—and build something that lasts beyond your daily involvement—this conversation will shift your perspective.
