Meet Amanda Moffett

We recently connected with Amanda Moffett and have shared our conversation below.

Amanda, thanks so much for taking the time to share your insights and lessons with us today. We’re particularly interested in hearing about how you became such a resilient person. Where do you get your resilience from?

I draw my resilience from three main sources: 1) my faith in God, 2) mental strength that my parents instilled in me, and 3) my drive to provide a beautiful life for my family and take great care of my children. Those three things motivate me in life so much and help me keep pushing on the hard days. My faith in God has always been important to me, and He has been faithful and so merciful with me through my life. I owe Him everything. And my parents have always pushed me in the most healthy, kind, and loving way – always encouraging me and teaching me to dream big, think outside the box, do things differently, and to always remember “where there is a will, there is a way.” I’ll always carry that with me. Finally, my husband and children are my heart of hearts. They inspire me and help me keep going when I’m discouraged. My resilience in life is in large part for their benefit because I love them so much.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

My name is Amanda and I’m a devoted Christian, wife to my amazing husband Nathan, and a mom of two little ones – a daughter and son ages 2 and 1. My passion is in the world of business these days are radically simple yet highly effective business systems that intersect at faith, family, and fierce entrepreneurship! I aspire to bring a magnetic energy of calm, rooted, and sincere joy to the world of online business. I was once a ballerina who traveled the world for my dancing, and my journey began at 18 when I bought my first business, a dance studio the month after I graduated high-school. In my first year of ownership, I doubled my revenue and set the stage for scaling and systemizing as I built what I call my “dream team” – a high-performing team of result-driven individuals whose hearts were truly in the mission. I sold my dance studio and now specialize in helping Christian businesswomen systemize their business so that they can live their dream freedom-filled life.

As I grew my own business, I noticed a gap in the business education landscape for Christian women. Existing resources were either superb for business but clashed with Christian values or were deeply rooted in faith but lacked the depth needed for serious scaling and were too surface-level for ambitious leaders. Determined to bridge this divide, I founded Pursuit – an online haven for high-performing Christian businesswomen.

Pursuit isn’t just a business; it’s a mission. I am on a crusade to empower women with the tools they need for seamless and joyful business systemizing. Through my proven 6-pillar framework, membership, and The Pursuit Podcast, I am aiming to create a vibrant community where deeply-rooted faith and high-level leadership & business systems coexist.

My faith and my family are my number one, and I do it all for them! It’s such a blessing.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

The three things I wish I could impart on everyone starting in their journey would be:

1) Messy action is better than inaction. You have to move, do, complete, and execute for your ideas to actually come to fruition. Stop waiting and procrastinating, just start messy and go from there. Trust me, starting without all the answers is how you find the answers.

2) Welcome failures and no’s because what those valleys give you is information. When you don’t meet your numbers, you learn. When someone says no, you move onto someone else. Don’t take it personally, learn to enjoy the no’s so that you can get to yes’s quicker.

3) Don’t let other people’s unhappiness, unkind words, and opinions steal your joy and peace. Don’t ever let someone’s mean email or rude review or anything similar bring you down. You won’t be best friends with every single person you ever meet in business, and that is a-okay. Simply move on with grace and find your people.

What was the most impactful thing your parents did for you?

My parents instilled in me an unwavering belief that “where there is a will, there is a way.” They are some of the most resilient and hard-working people I know – they are what I call “survivors.” I knew that I could count on them, and they taught me to be someone who dreams big, things outside of the box, thinks critically, and work hard. They taught me to rise above, give people grace, and stay in my own lane. These are character traits that have carried me through life and I pray that I can impart these amazing lessons onto my children like they did to me.
