We had the good fortune of connecting with Chandler S. Bailey and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Chandler S., we’d love to start by asking you about lessons learned. Is there a lesson you can share with us?
The most important lesson I have learned in my career is found in the unpacking of these two reflections. “Steward well what is not working well and He or She who pivots first gets paid first.” I believe that developing professional agility is critical to finding success in today’s marketplace. Today’s market is moving and shaking faster than ever. I consider myself a “Pastorpreneur” the best way I can explain it is someone who is called to motivate and inspire entrepreneurs through coaching, consulting, and care. I didn’t plan on having these services and I did not know it would grow to reach over 100,000 connections online via the Clubhouse app but if I didn’t pivot during the pandemic I would have missed out on the prosperity waiting for me.
There were some business owners, brands, and influencers who panicked during the pandemic but there were also others who pivoted during the pandemic. If it wasn’t for my pivoting I would have missed out on getting paid. Lastly, the art of consistency is rooted in stewarding well what is not working well. Many entrepreneurs and influencers have struck oil in their niche, their idea is magnificent but the world is not conducive to the reveal of their brilliancy yet. What I mean is I was already in place as a faith-based business and had content through motivational speaking, and encouragement, and was pastoring many via my social media content. However, when the world was shaken up and people needed hope I was able to slip right in there. Why, because I was stewarding well what wasn’t working well!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First I would like to honor my wife Audria for supporting me and being present as I grew this brand and built this business. I love you and you have always been right there. To my children thank you for sharing daddy with the world but also holding me accountable for the love we have in our home. I would like to thank my parents Drs Baileys. They have set me up very well in the ministry by being an example of sustainability and longevity. All I am doing is taking the truth that my ministry lineage has established and blending it through divine innovation in the marketplace. Secondly, I want to thank my following at Kingdom Business Network who have received my pour. I would like to say you all have gravitated to my voice and have propelled me into influencer land where I get to reach more people through my words of inspiration and coaching systems for the marketplace.
