Laurie Delk - author, speaker, coach, trainer

Laurie's life journey is a testament to unwavering faith, entrepreneurial spirit, and the transformative power of resilience. Rooted in a lifelong foundation of Christian values, instilled from her upbringing and a pivotal move from Texas to Middle Tennessee in 1986, Laurie embarked on a path marked by both professional achievement and personal devotion.

In 1993, driven by a profound desire to nurture her growing family, Laurie made a courageous decision to transition from a decade-long, successful career as an accountant at a Fortune 500 company. This pivotal moment, coinciding with her husband's aspiration to pursue his calling in law enforcement, became a catalyst for a life dedicated to purpose and service. Through prayerful consideration, they embraced both paths, demonstrating a commitment to faith-led action.

God has uniquely privileged Laurie to serve Him in numerous capacities over the past few decades. Her entrepreneurial journey began with the inception of her web & graphics, branding, marketing, and design company. Recognizing her talents as gifts to be shared, she pledged to utilize her skills for divine purpose. This commitment manifested in the creation of over a thousand websites, marketing materials, training platforms, and courses for pastors, churches, evangelists, missionaries, colleges, and a diverse range of business clients. Her expertise extended to comprehensive rebranding initiatives, empowering organizations to articulate their vision with clarity and impact.

Beyond her business acumen, Laurie is a prolific author, having penned the best-selling books "Keep Those Clients" and "We All Have Choices," and co-founded the transformative "Gratitude Girls - 100 Day Gratitude Journal Challenge." She has also contributed her insights to three additional publications. As a sought-after motivational speaker and corporate sales trainer, Laurie inspires audiences with her authentic voice and empowering message, often called upon for special speaking engagements around the world. Her dedication to education is further evidenced by her five years of teaching at her children's Christian school and her subsequent decision to homeschool them, allowing her to balance her growing speaking career with her commitment to family.

Her mission to empower women to embrace their God-given potential has taken her across the globe, where she shares her wisdom and encouragement with diverse audiences. Laurie's life, however, has not been without profound challenges. In 2013, she experienced the devastating loss of her children's father in a tragic accident, navigating the complexities of grief while raising her four children, then aged 25, 18, 16, and 12.

Believing in God's guidance for her life, Laurie remarried in April 2020 to Kevin Radecki, following their meeting in December 2019. Laurie prayed for exactly what she wanted in a husband and God showed Himself strong in giving her more than she asked in a God-fearing and God-loving husband.

Laurie's unique experiences over the past few decades provide special insight and encouragement for those who take her courses. Her story is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the transformative power of faith, and the profound impact of living a life dedicated to purpose and service. Her journey inspires others to embrace their own unique paths, to overcome adversity with grace, and to live with unwavering gratitude and purpose.

Be Present

Laurie’s Lesson #005
The People in Front of You Matter Most

Yesterday was Father’s Day.

I could have posted another Laurie’s Lesson.

Instead…
I chose to live one.
I turned off social media.
I put my phone away.

I spent the day making memories with the people God has entrusted to my life.

My dad.
My sister.
My husband.
Our children.
Our grandchildren.

We shared a meal.
We laughed.
We swam.
We talked.
We simply enjoyed being together.

And not once did I think…
“I wish I’d spent more time on my phone.”

But I know one day I’ll look back and treasure every conversation, every laugh, every hug, and every memory we made together.

Technology is a wonderful tool.
But it should never replace the people sitting right in front of us.

One day, our children won’t remember how quickly we answered a text.
They’ll remember whether we looked into their eyes when they were talking.

Our grandchildren won’t remember how many posts we made.
They’ll remember that we got in the pool.

Life isn’t measured by how much content we create.
It’s measured by the love we give and the moments we share.

So today…
Put the phone down.
Look someone in the eyes.
Listen a little longer.
Laugh a little louder.
Love a little deeper.

Because the people in front of you are one of God’s greatest gifts.

❤️ Be fully present.

That’s where some of life’s greatest blessings are found.

📖 “Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.” — Ephesians 5:16 (KJV)

❤️ Today’s Reflection
Who in your life needs more of your presence than your screen today?

🙏 Today’s Prayer
Lord, thank You for the precious people You’ve placed in my life. Help me never become so distracted by the urgent that I miss what is truly important. Teach me to be fully present, to listen well, to love deeply, and to treasure the moments that can never be repeated. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If this lesson encouraged you, consider putting your phone down for a while today and giving someone you love your undivided attention.

I have a feeling they’ll remember that far longer than anything you could post online. ❤️

🌸 Laurie’s Lessons
Until tomorrow…
Keep choosing faith. Live with purpose. 💖

I am SO incredibly thankful and grateful for every client and customer who has trusted me through the years. 🙏💖

This week, a client who purchased a health product from me back in July of 2002 came back to purchase another product. Think about that… 24 years later they remembered who served them well and chose to return. 🌟

That’s a powerful reminder for anyone in business:

💡 Not everyone will buy today.
💡 Some people don’t need it yet.
💡 Some aren’t ready.
💡 Some simply aren’t interested right now.

And that’s okay.

Your job is not to pressure people. Your job is to:

✅ Share your product or service with confidence
✅ Stay connected and build real relationships
✅ Follow up with kindness, not pressure
✅ Serve people with integrity
✅ Be available when the timing is right

When you genuinely care about people and consistently stay in touch, they often come back when they need what you offer. 🤝✨

That is what true sales looks like.
That is relationship marketing.
That is serving with integrity.

Success doesn’t always happen instantly… sometimes it shows up years later. 🌱💎

Keep planting seeds. Keep serving people well. Keep showing up. Your consistency matters more than you know. 💪🔥

Made from the land

Someone told us this was the best burger they had ever eaten… and honestly, they may be right! 🍔🔥

We stopped by Made From The Land in Franklin and wow… fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked burger, amazing fries, and that homemade flavor you can immediately tell is different. The kind of meal where you take the first bite and instantly understand why people keep talking about it.

The burger was juicy, flavorful, stacked just right, and those fries were crisp on the outside, soft inside — exactly how they should be. Sometimes simple food done exceptionally well really is hard to beat. 👏✨

If you are local or passing through Franklin, this one is definitely worth trying. Have you eaten here yet? If so, what did you order?

Sam Kendall’s Camden, SC

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cute little stop right off the highway! 🚗✨

Stopped into Sam Kennedy’s and loved the cozy, welcoming vibe right away. The food was really good — and let me just say… the broccoli cheese bites were AMAZING 🤩🥦🧀 (seriously, don’t skip those!). The fries made me smile because the portion felt a little short haha 😄🍟 — but they were still tasty!

Service was a bit slow, but they were clearly busy, and our server stayed kind, attentive, and did a great job keeping everything together. I always appreciate great attitudes even when things get hectic 👏💛

Overall, such a cute place with good food and a fun atmosphere — definitely a great stop when you’re traveling through. We’ll be back!
