Trying To Do Everything Is Holding You Back ft. Michelle Raymond | Episode 6

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 6 of the Faith & Finance Podcast by the Pentecostal Community Bank. Hosted by Brenda Emmanus OBE, this episode features Michelle Raymond, founder of The People’s Partner, HR and leadership consultant, author and entrepreneur. “You don’t need to do everything... you need to focus on one thing.” In this episode, Michelle Raymond challenges the idea that success means being everywhere, doing everything and wearing multiple hats. Drawing on her experience working with organisations including Amazon, Comic Relief and Lloyd’s Banking Group, Michelle explains why entrepreneurs and business leaders need to identify where they create the most value, focus their energy and execute well. But this conversation goes much deeper than business. Michelle speaks openly about one of the most difficult periods of her life, rebuilding after circumstances that changed her family and public identity, and the declaration she made to God: “I will never be invisible again.” She shares how faith, prayer, family and forgiveness helped her rebuild. She also explores her relationship with money, ambition and success, including what happened when her business began to come before God and why she now believes that hard work alone is not enough if God is not at the centre. From David and Goliath to pricing your services, scarcity, stewardship and investing in yourself, Michelle offers a practical and deeply personal perspective on what it means to build a successful life and business without losing sight of your faith. And when asked the most valuable lesson money has taught her, Michelle's answer is simple: “Money flows. It comes and it goes.” This is a conversation about faith, focus, resilience, leadership, money and learning what really deserves your attention.
