On this episode of the Front Parking Spot podcast, host Jennifer Bosma welcomes Christian business coach Melissa Harms to walk moms through identifying and launching a God-led business without sacrificing family time. Melissa shares her personal story — how she left teaching, started a profitable photography business, and later built two more businesses while staying at home — and why she’s passionate about helping moms build sustainable ventures in 20 hours a week or less. The conversation covers spiritual and practical starting points: begin with prayer and trusted Christian mentors, but don’t wait for a lightning-bolt revelation — take the first step and let clarity follow. Melissa introduces a Venn diagram approach to test business ideas: intersect passion, unique gifts/experiences, and a real market need. She explains why all three elements are necessary to move from hobby to income-generating business. Melissa then breaks down her SIMPLE business plan to get a business off the ground quickly: Specify your person (narrow your audience), Identify the problem you solve, Make an irresistible offer (one focused solution), Pick your platform (where your people hang out), Lean into consistency, and Expand later with systems and automations.
