Biblical Goal Planning with Life Coaching: My Exclusive T.O.W.E.R. Framework

Life Coaching provides the calm table where you sit down first, count wisely, and map a path you can finish with peace.

“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?” — Luke 14:28, KJV

Goals With a Blueprint: Count the Cost, Finish the Work

There is a holy steadiness to real progress. Godly goals are not hurried wishes; they are prayerful blueprints. The Lord Jesus invites us to sit down, to count, to plan, and then to rise and build with faithful hands. Planning is not unbelief. Planning is wisdom under the Lord’s plumb line.

“Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established.” — Proverbs 16:3, KJV
“Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” — Habakkuk 2:2, KJV

When Christian women plan with Scripture in one hand and a pencil in the other, the heart grows courageous. Hope takes on feet. The fog of overwhelm gives way to the clear path of stewardship.

With Life Coaching, holy desire becomes scheduled steps, and hope takes on feet that finish well.

Why “Counting the Cost” Is Worship

A Life Coach helps you reframe “problems” into stewardship and keep faithful hands upon the plow.

The world chases outcomes; disciples steward assignments. A “problem” speaks of weight without meaning; stewardship speaks of trust and purpose. As daughters of the King, we do not rush the work. We reverence it. We ask, “Lord, what hast Thou entrusted to me in this season?” Then we build in order, with peace.

Word Upgrade (Problem-Focus → Stewardship-Focus)

• problem → challenge, assignment, stewardship

• obstacle → next step to solve, area for growth

In practice, Life Coaching turns this framework into weekly conversations, accountable milestones, and gentle course corrections.

The T.O.W.E.R. Plan

A simple, Scriptural framework to move from vision to finished work.

T — Target the Aim

As your coach, I help you crystallize the target until it is specific, measurable, and aligned with Scripture and calling.

Name one clear, kingdom-aligned goal.

• Scripture: “Write the vision, and make it plain…” (Habakkuk 2:2, KJV)

• Practice: Replace vague hopes with a measurable target.

  • Vague: “Grow my business.”

  • Clear: “Enroll 6 new coaching clients in the next 90 days through weekly outreach and two webinars.”

In coaching we trade vague wishes for precise words, numbers, and dates that honor your season and capacity.

Coaching Questions

• What single outcome would most bless your family, your clients, and your church in the next 12 weeks?

• How will you know that it is complete?

O — Outline Resources

A coach helps you measure time, talent, training, treasure, and team with honest clarity before you begin.

List what this will require: time, talent, training, treasure, and team.

• Scripture: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God…” (James 1:5, KJV)

• Practice: Estimate hours, budget, tools, and people. Decide where you need mentorship or training.

Together we name gaps early and secure the right tools, mentors, and rhythms so the goal is truly buildable.

Coaching Questions

• What skill must you strengthen to honor this assignment?

• Who will pray for you and hold you accountable?

W — Write Milestones

Coaching turns big aspirations into bite-sized milestones you can actually check off.

Break the goal into weekly, visible steps.

• Scripture: “Let all things be done decently and in order.” (1 Corinthians 14:40, KJV)

• Practice: Create 4–8 milestones. Give each a due date and a deliverable. Place them on the calendar.

With a coach, every milestone receives a date, a deliverable, and a simple definition of done.

Example

• Week 1: Define offer and pricing; draft landing page.

• Week 2: Record 2 teaching videos; schedule emails.

• Week 3: Host webinar; hold 6 discovery calls.

• Week 4: Onboard new clients; begin fulfillment.

E — Establish Boundaries

Life Coaching protects margin by helping you set holy boundaries that keep the main thing the main thing.

Protect margin and focus so you can finish.

• Scripture: “See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time…” (Ephesians 5:15–16, KJV)

• Practice: Say “no” to lesser goods in service of the assignment. Block work sessions. Schedule rest.

We plan recovery and guard focus, because faithfulness requires strength as well as zeal.

Boundary Starters

• Quiet hours for deep work.

• Two social media windows per day, then log off.

• Sabbath rhythms: worship, rest, and renewal.

R — Review and Rejoice

A coach helps you review gently, adjust wisely, and celebrate progress without losing momentum.

Measure, adjust, and give thanks.

• Scripture: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord…” (Colossians 3:23, KJV)

• Practice: Each week, evaluate what moved, what stalled, and why. Adjust the plan. Celebrate small wins.

In our sessions we ask what worked, what needs pruning, and what single change will make next week smoother.

Coaching Questions

• What one adjustment would make next week smoother?

• What will you thank the Lord for today?

A Gentle Case Study: Building With Peace

Coaching gives language to move from overwhelm to stewardship and offers a steady hand when the waves rise.

Rebecca, a Christian entrepreneur, longed to relaunch her coaching program, yet felt “overwhelmed.” We reframed her language and her lens.

• Old self-talk: “This problem is too big.”

• Truth Mindset: “This is my stewardship for this season.”

Step by step, coaching kept Rebecca accountable to T.O.W.E.R., converting intention into results and peace.

Using T.O.W.E.R., Rebecca targeted a clear aim (10 clients in 90 days), outlined resources (5 hours weekly for outreach, budget for webinar software, a prayer team of two friends), wrote milestones, established boundaries (quiet hours 9–11 a.m., Sabbath media fast), and reviewed each Friday with gratitude. She enrolled 12 clients, but more importantly, she finished with peace.

Counting the Cost Checklist

Time

• Where will this live on the calendar? Which hours will you defend?

Talent & Training

• What skill must be sharpened? What book, course, or mentor will help?

Treasure

• What budget or tools are required? What can be deferred?

Team

• Who will pray, advise, or assist? Who needs clear expectations?

Risk & Resilience

• What obstacles may arise? What will be your next step to solve each?

Margin

• Where will you rest, refill, and reconnect with God and family?

Seven-Day Builder Sprint

• Day 1: Pray, then write your Target and the first three milestones.

• Day 2: Block calendar time; list resources; ask for prayer.

• Day 3: Complete Milestone 1.

• Day 4: Complete Milestone 2.

• Day 5: Protect boundaries; remove one distraction.

• Day 6: Complete Milestone 3; prepare next week’s steps.

• Day 7: Rest, review, and rejoice.

Common Word Upgrades While You Build

• “I have a problem.” → “I have a stewardship and a next step.”

• “This obstacle stops me.” → “This is an area for growth; my next step is ____.”

• “I am overwhelmed.” → “I am at capacity right now; I need margin and a simple plan.”

Journaling Prompts

1. What tower am I building with God this quarter, and why does it matter?

2. What cost must I count honestly (time, training, money, energy), and what boundary will protect it?

3. Where have I seen the Lord’s faithfulness in past assignments, and how will I remember it this week?

Truth Declaration

By God’s grace I will plan with wisdom, build with diligence, and finish with joy. I will count the cost, commit my works unto the Lord, and walk out the steps He guides.

Life Coaching holds you to this declaration by aligning weekly actions with what you profess to believe.

A Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, Master Builder, thank Thee for entrusting me with this assignment. Teach me to sit down and count, to rise and work, to pause and worship. Establish my thoughts as I commit my works unto Thee. Grant me clean motives, clear steps, and holy courage to finish the work. In Thy precious Name, Amen.

As your coach, I will pray with you and help you translate Amen into action.
