Category #1 is faith inspired clothing

  1. Wear your faith on your sleeve (so to speak) with incredible faith inspired clothing:

    1. MADE sweatshirt from Beacon Threads this is so soft and comfortable It is my current favorite sweatshirt! 

    2. PRAY hat also from Beacon Threads.com

    3. You Are Not My Enemy T-shirt from my own shop. I have it in Navy Triblend  and it is soft, fits well and raises a few eyebrows that open the door to cool conversations! I have several other designs available to inspire, encourage and proclaim your faith! Go to the Merch Shop at stephanieferrara.com to find this t-shirt and other apparel to express your faith!

Category #2 - Online Business Tech basics

Running an online business, specifically a service based business or coaching program requires you to be on camera! I have tried out a lot of tech over the last 8 years and these are my current favorite tech tools that I use practically every day.

    1. ViewSonic Webcam - The exact one that I use is no longer available on Amazon, but you can find this one on Amazon for about $50-$60 at the time of recording. I had the 001 model, this is 002, It is the best webcam I have found with auto-focus and a good built in microphone. I use it for all of my video calls, recording training videos, my podcast and YouTube videos, and for coaching calls. 

    2. Mini Lapel microphone - you can get this or similar microphones on Amazon and even Temu. It is a good tool to have when you are on the go and want to get clear audio on your TikToks, Reels and other mobile device recordings. These are usually under $20 and a great stocking stuffer for the creator in your life!

    3. Blue Yeti - while I use the ViewSonic webcam’s built in mic for most of my meetings, when it comes to recording my podcast, interviews, or YouTube videos, I want better noise canceling and sound quality overall. I have used this Blue Yeti for about 7 years now and it is still going strong! 

    4. Kajabi - OK, I can’t leave out my favorite business software, Kajabi! This is my all in one platform for website building, email marketing, sales pages, opt-in funnels, checkout and course delivery. I even use Kajabi to distribute The Dream Launcher Podcast. I love how easy it is to build web pages, send emails and create email sequences, and deliver my coaching courses and The Dream Launcher Membership, too! While I still have a Wordpress website as my front-facing website, the real power is in the Kajabi backend! I have been using it for about 8 years and I don’t see moving away from it anytime soon. I provided a more in depth overview of the features of Kajabi in another video. You can find the “Why I Chose Kajabi for my Coaching Business” review on my YouTube channel.

    5. Manfrotto Smartphone Clamp for tripod - OK, this may not be 100% necessary, but what I have found with most tripods is that they come with pretty flimsy clamps for your phone. I purchased this one and even with my big iPhone 12 Pro Max, it opens wide enough to put my phone in it without taking it out of the case AND holds it tightly and securely. I keep this on top of my small tripod that I basically use like a selfie stick! 

    6. USB C Docking Station - I have a Mac that has all USB C ports and I have a lot of accessories that are standard USB. This docking station usually stays in my backpack so I am ready for any adapter situation! With HDMI, USB, SD card slot, and more, this is a 12 in 1 docking station that is portable and has been a life saver in more than one on site meeting! 

Category 3 - A few of my favorite things

This segment has some of my most used and collected favorite things:

    1. Vera Bradley XL Campus Backpack - this is one of the best backpacks I have ever had! With three separate full size compartments, one includes a laptop sleeve to keep your precious money maker safe! It has two accessory compartments and water bottle pockets on each side. You can stuff a ton into this bag and it is going to hold up! I have had mine for a couple of years now. I bought it at their outlet in Branson, MO. If you can snag a deal on it like that - jump on it! So many cute patterns too!

    2. Sharpie S Gel pens - This might be more of a stocking stuffer, but pair these Sharpie S Gel pens with a nice journal and it is a full gift!! I like the pack with the different colors - black, blue, green and red, Somewhere along the way I found a pack that had a purple pen, too! Purple is my favorite color!

    3. Journals - Speaking of pens and journals, here are a few beautiful journals to choose from:

      1. Lined Spiral Notebook - The pages are numbered and there is a table of contents page at the beginning. Great for keeping track of powerful dreams, prophetic words, or those directives from Holy Spirit! 

      2. Aesthetic Spiral Notebook set of 3 - beautiful neutral tones

      3. Eccolo Large Lined Journal Notebook - OK, I have this one from a couple of years ago. I loved the feel of this journal and the lay flat binding. 

Category #4 BOOKS!!!

And a gift list isn’t complete without a few good books. Here is what I a reading right now and a few I have read and always recommend to others:

    1. The Esther Anointing: Becoming a Woman of Prayer, Courage, and Influence - This book is well worn because I have read it at least three times and refer back to it when I need a spiritual boost. At the end of each chapter there is a powerful prayer of declaration that always quickens my spirit and fills me with Holy Spirit power! I have gifted this book to many important women in my life! 

    2. Host the Holy Ghost by Vlad Savchuk - This is the book that I am currently reading. I love to listen to Vlad preach and I am truly enjoying his first book!

    3. 100 Days of Brave devotional by Annie F. Downs - This 100 day devotional will inspire you to think bigger, be bolder and take the actions you need to achieve that dream that has been bubbling inside of you for years. I have given this book away many times and always keep an extra copy or two on hand!

    4.  Start With Your People by Brian J, Dixon - I was honored to be on a crowdsourced editing team as Brian neared his deadline with his publisher. I was assigned Chapter 3 to proofread and as I read it my ideal customer came to life in my mind. I have talked about that process and how I reference Ruth (the name I have given my ideal client) in episode 11: The People You Were Meant to Serve)
