We had the good fortune of connecting with Niccie Kliegl and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Niccie, what do you attribute your success to?
Being called.
I’m a faith-based Life and Business coach. I help others understand the call that God has on their life and work… and how to tap into all the support, protection, impact, and abundance that comes from doing life & business with the Lord.
That is why my business has succeeded I know.
Oh, don’t get me wrong. I didn’t start out with such clarity.
I was 46 years old, having been a successful, (by the world’s standards) Director of Nursing for 20+ years.
But out of nowhere, I was bored…Doing the work that I truly felt God led me to, I now struggled with purpose and felt a strong nudge to move on.
I wasn’t deeply into my faith at that time or yet in my life. I knew God but really didn’t step into my faith. I went to church often but not always and we prayed for supper about half the time. So getting the ‘nudge’ felt strange yet, I knew it was from God.
So I listened.
See, soon this concept of hearing God’s nudges, being open to receiving, and responding, became my story and the story of those I work with.
I saw my life, in a matter of 2 years go from nurse leader to life coach, to faith-based author, speaker, and Christian online business leader … and now I am so passionate about the original call I had….
To hear the voice of God,
To go where God leads you,
To love and serve,
To make disciples of men,
For me to do it by building up other Christian entrepreneurs
-help them write and publish God-inspired books as you did
-show them how to market Gods-way (crazy impactful
-teach the to speak (my message) and to be heard.
What is so powerful is that this is what I do with others.
What God did for me. (To hear God and to obediently respond regardless of how odd it may feel or be)
To learn of you call….
Your God-partnered call.
That reaches more than you ever imagined, (spiritually, abundantly, energetically)
It heals fully
Loves deeply
Serves with grace
Gives generously.
As my business took off I was then able to do the awesome life-giving discipleship work that I had originally thought God was calling me to….
But I had to walk through all the rest first.
If I had simply heard half the call and responded to half a call…
Or if I’d gone out doing what was simply on MY heart
I’d have gotten half the fruit, as much fruit as I was able to snatch up.
Now I have a thriving God-partnered life & business coaching practice.
Raising up Christian entrepreneurs to do the same
– to hear God
– to do their life and business with HIM
– to serve the people HE has called them to
– to be bold and courageous with blind faith knowing it will bear GREAT fruit.
I not only have this growing successful business I also throw up praises to God for making a way for me to now run a nonprofit transitional housing discipleship program to get people back on their feet.
My brand is solid, it was revealed to me early on when I first learned to hear the voice of God.
But I had to step in with what I could see at the time – WITH BLIND FAITH-
I saw it unfold in real-time – visions that came to me years before they happen
Responding obediently to what He asks (nudged me to) know that it would bear fruit.
It might have seemed off course yet, I knew HIM – I know HIS voice and followed.
Even when it seemed like it was going off track – I would go through what he asked
And later found it was him equipping me for more.
I teach this to both my entrepreneurs (and awesome things are happening in their businesses)
And I teach this to my life coaching and transitional housing people… and watching God heal them from so much.
Addictions, infidelity, inner healing things, and footholds that have held them back for years.
My business and life are being blessed by getting God-partnered
This is the branding I have….
to get God-partnered in life and work.
I teach faith-based entrepreneurs how to market God’s way, to build products God inspired them to make, to serve as Jesus did and to then impact with the power fo the Holy Spirit. This is what i mean by being God partnered,
MY brand is what I had to learn
Fruitful God-partnered life and work.
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS… I run a faith-based life and business coaching practice.
My life coaching is mostly done by entrepreneurs that I certify to coach after my 4-part discipleship program of
1) Life Coaching (life purpose and getting God-partnered
2) Home coaching (helping others get their homes thriving
3) Community Coaching (helping others make an impact on their community)
4) Nation Coaching (Mission work and raising up the 5-fold ministry)
My business coaching is done within two masterminds
1) Sweetspot Mastermind (helping entrepreneurs get their companies built and to 6 figures)
2) Elevation Mastermind (helping entrepreneurs 10X by adding on teams, partners, higher-level services etc.
I also work & volunteer at a non-profit leading their transitional housing families to get back on their feel succeeding in life gods way. I am watching them get God-partnered and getting healed, restored, jobs, homes, etc.
WE’D LOVE TO HEAR WHAT SETS YOU APART FROM OTHERS,
I and my masterminds are very hands-on.
I just want kingdom impact.
Watching an entrepreneur struggle to figure out all the tech, marketing, business building stuff is silly to me. My way is to show you how and to even do it for you. We have a tech team that helps my entrepreneurs with all the difficult things. I share with them my funnels, my systems etc. We share our marketing team we do it all. We publish them and build their programs after they books etc.
WHAT YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF OR EXCITED ABOUT?
Helping others to hear God, to learn how life and business transforming it is to do it with HIM and all His power.
How did you get to where you are today business-wise?
By Romans 12:2 (Be transformed by the renewing of your mind, then will be able to test and approve your understanding of His will for you – His good and pleasing will.) I have learned to HEAR God and then to respond obediently. I teach others the same and it is simply blowing up
Was it easy?
No way. They tech and the scary early on imposture time that hold sso many back was so annoying…. That is why I give so much away and help others so much. I do not believe in scarcity and hanging onto what you know. I think, share it and share it fast — We have Kingdom work to do so get busy. God is with us, anyone who will turn to HIM and listen obediently.
IF NOT, HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THE CHALLENGES?
I just kept spending time with the Lord, in the Word, with praise music and prayer.
Oh and a lot of grit.
See a lot of faith people forget that they have to do some work too.
I believe in a … Run while you pray philosophy.
WHAT ARE THE LESSONS YOU’VE LEARNED ALONG THE WAY.
Yes, run while you pray and also…
Don’t sweat the small beginnings, they will multiply. (story of the talents)
WHAT DO YOU WANT THE WORLD TO KNOW ABOUT YOU OR YOUR BRAND AND STORY?
That they are called.
Whether they know it or not, they are called.
God will equip them if they are willing to step in.
And great fruit will come.
Far greater than any grit and work you can do on your own.
IF YOUR BUSINESS ISN’T QUITE WHERE YOU WANT IT TO BE,
Ask yourself:
1. are you doing it WITH GOD (His knowledge, strength and protection)
2. are you doing it WITH JESUS ( healed and whole… leading with service on your heart over selling)
3. are you doing it WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT (all his guidance and leading you with each step, showing you where to do, what your products are, who your future partners are, through the door He opens for you…. etc)
Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
They would need to come in May. The weather is in the 70s and sunny. We have our annual Tulip Festival with huge beds of bulb (tulips) planted throughout the whole town.
Our town goes from 8000 to 25,000. People come from all over our daily parades for three days. Our highschool plays in wooden shoes and the sound of the newly cleaned and wet streets (washed for the queen) makes the most delightful shuffling sound to the number one band in the area year after year. We serve traditional dutch food and the WHOLE town dresses in costume for the guests. We also host our community theater during this time and our night shows are worthy of a town 10 times our size.
You also might want to come to our nearby steak house (Archies Wayside) featured on Dinners Driveins and dives as well as Sfumato’s (our brick oven pizza place) featured on the Rachel Ray show.
If you are a church goer you will not want to miss First Christian Reformed Church. I am an elder there. When I came on we had just over 300 members. We now 3 years later have nearly 800 members. The praise & worship is filled with the Holy Spirit and our preaching is life-transforming.
You should also make your way to the Kliegl home. That’s our place. My husband runs the local meat shop and grills up an unforgettable beef tenderloin, with a golf course view on one of the oldest courses in the states.
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Kary Oberbrunner, Publisher who saw more than an author in me. Asking me to start coaching all of his other authors to next level their businesses based on their books. I never saw myself as a business coach but he did. Which gave me a platform and belief in me, leading other entrepreneurs to build successful practices.
Pastor Tim Breen, my pastor when my call started to open to me.
I’d been in so many churches but never one with preaching like he did.
Pastor Tim open my eyes to a loving God who wanted to get us moving and would help us move.
