<p>Jenny and Shelley share how a simple speaking opportunity led to unexpected momentum, from presenting on mindset at a conference to being invited onto a podcast, and ultimately deciding to write a book with a six-month deadline. </p><p>They talk about figuring things out as they go, emphasizing that you don’t need to have everything planned before taking action, and how opportunities—from publishing connections to building a website and launching a podcast—came together over time. </p><p>Throughout the episode, they discuss the role of faith, mindset, and daily habits, including how the first hour of the day can shape everything that follows and how intentional practices like prayer and affirmations have influenced their lives. </p><p>They also reflect on lessons from Southwestern, including persistence, taking action quickly, and the belief that “everything is figureoutable,” along with stories from their time selling books and how those experiences shaped their outlook. </p><p>The conversation highlights perspective—how challenges, delays, and even rejection can be reframed—and how their mission has expanded beyond a book into speaking, podcasting, and future plans like coaching and retreats.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Where to find Jenny and Shelley:</p><p>Website:</p><p>Abundantlyfavored.com</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook:</p><p>Abundantly Favored</p><p>Shelley Bailey Haisman</p><p>Jenny Dunkin</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram:</p><p>@abundantly_favored_</p><p>TikTok:</p><p>@abundantly.favored</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>00:00:00 Start</p><p>00:09:03 Speaking Opportunity &amp; Mindset Talk <br>00:09:39 First Podcast &amp; Deciding to Write a Book <br>00:10:29 Taking Action Without Having It Figured Out <br>00:17:15 Choosing the Right Publisher &amp; Marketing Concerns <br>00:19:11 Building a Bigger Vision (Website, Podcast, Retreats) <br>00:21:27 “Everything is Figureoutable” &amp; Taking Action Quickly <br>00:31:25 Faith, Daily Habits &amp; Starting the Day with Intention <br>00:42:25 Perspective During Challenges &amp; Delays <br>00:44:38 Affirmations &amp; “Abundantly Favored” <br>00:53:14 Rejection is God’s Protection <br>01:12:25 First Summer Headquarters Story <br>01:13:37 Worst Territory Experiences (California &amp; Yuma) <br>01:19:35 Hardest People to Sell To (Teachers) <br>01:36:29 Cookbook Demo Pranks in the Field <br>01:40:09 Off-Schedule Stories &amp; Learning Discipline <br>01:48:00 Mindset Shift: “Everybody’s Getting Them” <br>01:50:48 “Cheeto Man” &amp; Choosing Your Path</p>
