Nick works with Christian small business owners to simplify tax planning, separate personal and business finances, and make investments that align with biblical values.We unpack why “more followers equals more money” is a flawed mindset and why the right audience matters more than a massive one. Nick shares practical tips on giving yourself a raise by cutting expenses and boosting revenue, and we dig into how creators can decide which monetization strategies align with their convictions before opportunities — and temptations — arise.We also talk about the balance between ambition and contentment, how stewardship transforms the way you run your business, and why clarity and trust in God go hand in hand. If you’re a Christian entrepreneur or content creator who wants to build a profitable business without compromising your values, this conversation is for you.Key TakeawaysWhy the quality of your audience matters more than sizeThe biggest financial mistake Christian entrepreneurs makeTwo simple ways to give yourself a raise this monthHow to filter monetization opportunities through your valuesThe power of stewardship in business and investingConnect With Nick GarofaloWebsite: OpenHandedWealthhttps://www.openhandedwealth.com/Chapters00:00 – Welcome and introduction to Nick Garofalo00:34 – Why “more followers = more money” is misleading01:38 – The #1 financial mistake Christian entrepreneurs make04:24 – Separating personal and business finances for clarity07:00 – Balancing ambition with contentment as a Christian entrepreneur12:38 – Biblical principles for investing and stewardship15:13 – How to give yourself a raise in your business17:41 – Cutting expenses vs. increasing revenue21:56 – Choosing monetization strategies that align with your values27:47 – Preparing value-based decisions before opportunities arise30:35 – Clarity, trust, and following God’s direction in business36:32 – The rope-walking trust analogy37:46 – Why “Open Handed Wealth” is more than just a name38:51 – Final advice for Christian online creators42:49 – Where to find Nick and his resources43:23 – Closing remarks and listener call-to-action
