Are you a Christian entrepreneur feeling shackled by self-doubt or the fear of selling? Prepare to have your mindset radically transformed. In this candid interview, Nicky Billou, a renowned Iranian-Canadian entrepreneur and top podcast host, pulls no punches as he challenges conventional wisdom and inspires listeners to embrace the ultimate key to success: freedom.

Drawing from his powerful personal journey of escaping tyranny to unlock his true potential, Nicky passionately articulates why freedom is the bedrock of entrepreneurship. Without the liberty to express ourselves freely and chart our own course, he argues, the spirit of enterprise withers. Yet when we operate from a place of freedom, rooted in our faith and values, we unleash our ability to create abundantly and live out our God-given purpose.

At the core of Nicky's message is a paradigm shift in how we view sales – an area where many Christian entrepreneurs stumble. With tough love and refreshing candor, he reframes sales not as a necessary evil, but as an "act of love" – a sacred opportunity to serve those we care about deeply. This mind-shifting perspective invites listeners to confront self-limiting beliefs head-on and embrace discomfort as the catalyst for breakthrough growth.

• Gain a profound appreciation for freedom as the wellspring of entrepreneurial success
• Overcome the fear of selling by reframing it as an expression of love and service
• Discover actionable strategies for making firm decisions, committing wholeheartedly, and developing a resourceful mindset
• Learn how to stay true to your faith while pursuing ambitious goals and building a thriving business

much for having me on the show. It is

definitely my pleasure to have you on the

show today because you have been doing

some amazing things, not only like in

podcasting, but you're the number one

podcast host rated on podmatch. You've

done over 600 of these. Like, wow, that's

a lot of podcasts in a relatively short

period of time. But not only are you a

super amazing guest, you're a podcast

host, you're a phenomenal entrepreneur,

and you also have some programs that you

use that other business owners, christian

faith based business owners, can partner

with you with, where you teach us how to

become greater at what we do. So listen,

just take a minute. And those that may not

know you, please give us a little bit of

your backstory. Thank you so much. I

greatly appreciate that. So I'm actually

originally an immigrant from the Middle

east. I'm a Christian from Iran. When I

was eleven years old, the islamic

revolution took place in Iran. And my mom

and dad, right, they could see the writing

on the wall. Dad, God rest his soul. You

could say, man, this country is changing.

This isn't going to be a place to raise a

christian family. And so what they did is

they made a plan. It took them a while,

took them a few years, but they eventually

got me and my two brothers out of Iran,

and we settled where I now live in

Toronto, Canada. So I was eleven when the

revolution happened, and I was about 15

when we got to Canada. Now, from eleven to

15, I didn't want to leave my home. I

didn't want to leave my friends. Right,

right. I was a kid. But in retrospect, it

was the single greatest thing mom and dad

could have done for me and my two

brothers. Because they took us from a

legacy of tyranny. They brought us to a

legacy of freedom. I believe, Laquita,

inside every human breast beats the living

heart of freedom. God Almighty gave us

freedom, and we want the right to chart

our own course, to march to the tune of

our own drummer. Yes, yes. And that

informs everything about my worldview.

See, you want to be a business owner, you

need to have freedom. You need to be a

champion for freedom. Without freedom,

there can be no free expression. Without

free expression, there can be no free

enterprise. Free enterprise is the bedrock

of entrepreneurship. Yes, it is. Yes, it

is. I love the way you brought that. I

love the way you brought that out. Without

the freedoms that we have, not only in

North America, but, you know, in other

nations as well, and especially in western

nations, without the freedoms that we

have, we definitely either would not be

able to do the things that we can do as

entrepreneurs, or it would be extremely,

extremely difficult. And I like the fact

that you said that that was the bedrock of

freedom, is the bedrock of not only who

you are, but your ability to effectively

practice your faith and your ability to be

and do whatever you want to do as an

entrepreneur. How that. And I've never

heard it put that way. How does one, like,

just embrace that? Like, I don't think. I

don't think we really understand how

valuable freedom is. Well, I'll tell you,

if you're a Christian, one of the best

things you can do is go watch some of the

great speeches delivered by some great

Americans. So in March of 1983, President

Ronald Reagan delivered a speech to the

National association of Evangelicals. It's

his famous evil empire speech, in which he

called the Soviet Union an evil empire.

Right. And I'll tell you, he got a lot of

flack for it back then, but every

Christian in that audience knew that he

was right, that believing in God was the

bedrock of America's philosophy. And the

bedrock of America's philosophy comes from

freedom. Freedom. So I highly recommend

that you go and get on YouTube and type in

Ronald Reagan evil empire speech, National

association of Evangelicals, and go watch

that speech from beginning to end because

he'll articulate for you more powerfully

than anybody could, the importance of

freedom, the importance of faith in God to

living a great moral, amazing life.

Another great speech, Doctor Martin Luther

King's I have a dream speech. That speech

is laden with faith in the almighty, with

belief in God. And freedom is the basis of

Doctor King's speech. People don't know.

Doctor King was some, was some kind of

like modern lefty. Doctor King was a

pastor, Doctor kingdom, Doctor King was a

republican. People forget that. I mean,

you know, facts. No, it's easy. I mean,

crazy, crazy. These are two super powerful

speeches that every, every freedom loving

Christian ought to listen to. They will

awaken your faith, your belief in God, and

awaken your faith in your belief in

yourself as a child of God and your

ability to live a life less ordinary. Yes,

I love that. So guys, I hope that you

wrote that down. That was several amazing

points that Nikki has brought out so far.

But those two videos, YouTube is your

friend. The famous I have a dream speech

by Doctor Martin Luther King. You should

be able to just start typing that and it

auto populates and take you to any number

of video clips, if not the entire speech

in itself. And then the other one is

former President Ronald Reagan. His speech

to the evangelicals. And what year was

that again? 1983. It's the evil empire

speech. If you type that in, that'll auto

populate for you as well. It'll auto

populate as well. So listen, take those

two tools, put them in your tool bag, take

a moment later, go and check those

speeches out because the more that we

learn, the more that we grow and the more

we're empowered to do the things that God

has called us to do. Amen. And so with

freedom being the necessary bedrock for us

to be able to bc and do all that God has

called us to do personally, professionally

and all the things that we'll do while

we're yet walking this earth, one of the

things that I noticed here is that you

said that freedom is also important for

free enterprise and you talked about that

just a little bit. Would you like to

expound on that even more? Because

sometimes I feel like whether it's

capitalism, we could say capitalism, free

enterprise, entrepreneurship, a lot of

times that, you know, we're under attack.

People want more, people want greater, but

then don't fully grasp or understand the

value of free enterprise. And we think we

wanted to leave, but we really don't. Can

you talk to us a little bit about that?

Look, the only way for everybody to have

prosperity is if prosperity is growing.

And the only way prosperity can grow is

through free enterprise. Free enterprise

is really the voluntary exchange of goods

and services. Nobody's forcing you to do

anything. That's what free enterprise is.

And the evil, godless charlatans on the

left want to try to make you think this is

the devil. No, they are the devil, because

what they want to do is they want to force

you to follow their path. They think they

know best and they want to pass laws

that'll throw you in jail, that'll take

away what you own in order for them to

control you. If you don't have freedom, if

someone else is controlling what you can

do, what you can say, what you can think,

you'll never be able to build a business,

ever. Come on. Yeah, that's real good.

That's real good. That's real good.

Because as long as I have a freedom, then

I have the ability to create whatever type

of business I want, right? If I want to

sell polka dotted pajamas on eBay, on

Wednesdays and Fridays only, I should have

that, right, to sell polka dotted pajamas

on eBay and only on those specific days.

But when we reduce our freedoms, when we

allow laws to be enacted that, that are

designed to siphon away our freedoms, then

we do heavily put ourselves at risk for no

longer being able to have that type of

control over our life. How I earn my

income, where I earn my income, from, what

I do with my income, free enterprises, is

absolutely necessary. I know in our

entrepreneur space, we talk a lot about

marketing, branding and all of those

things, but I don't think that we fully

realize that the backbone of that, first

and foremost, before I can think about

building my personal brand, I have to make

sure that I have the freedom to do that.

Amen. Amen. Right. And as believers, it's

even. I'll say that it's even more so

important for us because oftentimes I

found that I'm not sure about you. I found

that the exercising of my faith in certain

situations, or me being unapologetic about

my faith in certain situations does have

the tendency to maybe kind of slow down

my, my ability to push my business

forward. So, um, what would you say to

christians who may be experiencing that or

they're afraid to even say I'm a

Christian. When I'm trying to create or

push my personal brand forward. God

intends for you to be abundant and rich.

It's a lie that God wants you to be poor

to prove your piety. It's a lie. Yeah,

it's a lie. Okay. Reverend Catherine

Ponder, she's still alive. God, God bless

her. She's 96 years old. She wrote a

series of books called the Millionaires of

the Bible. Right. One of them was the

millionaire from Nazareth, the millionaire

Moses, the millionaire Joseph, are

biblical heroes, are biblical teachers.

We're all wealthy, wealthy, wealthy men.

God intended for every man, every woman to

enjoy the abundant blessings of the earth.

And for you not to understand that, to buy

the lie of the evil left that has been

attempting to suborn and subvert

Christianity is what is causing you to

live a life that you're not happy with.

Because God, look at everything. You go to

an apple tree, there are hundreds of

apples on it. Yes, it is. You cut open a

pomegranate. There are thousands of seeds

in the pomegranate. Absolutely right. When

God intends a man and a woman to come

together to make a baby, there are

millions of sperm and hundreds of eggs.

God has stacked the odds in your favor

everywhere. Why do you insist, insist on

saying he's wrong and you're right. Come

on now. Great question. Great question

indeed. He has stacked the odds in our

favor. Everything that he has is ours.

We're entitled to what we've inherited

because we received and believed and

called on his name. And so why should not,

why shouldn't we, why shouldn't we walk in

that? Why shouldn't we have that? I

oftentimes when I'm, when I'm talking to

different entrepreneurs or women as an

example within the christian faith, we

love to use the example of the proverbs 31

woman as the perfect kind of wife. And in

those, in some situations where, you know,

women feel like they can't or don't, or

even where you're saying, well, you know,

we're just going to be humble. We're going

to, you know, be settled for less than,

and this is all of these things, and

thinking to myself, that's not at all what

the proper 31 woman did. She was wealthy.

And it wasn't that she was just wealthy

because of what her husband did for a

living. He was wealthy, yes, because if he

was at the city gates, that that denotes

that he was a gentleman of importance. But

while he was taking care of his business,

she was literally buying real estate,

creating a vineyard creating jobs for her

local community while yet supporting her

children, while yet being supportive of

her servants. Like, this lady did

everything, and she's, to me, the constant

entrepreneur. She was building wealth for

her family. She just wasn't at home.

Nothing wrong with being at home. Cooking

and cleaning. Don't get me wrong, ladies,

like, we have to do that. Nothing wrong

with that. But she was building wealth,

and she was building wealth, and I want to

use the word independently. Not that her

husband didn't know what was going on, but

obviously they had some great

communication going on because it wasn't

like in the parable of the shoe man woman,

where she had to go ask permission to get

the chariot to go to find the man of God.

The scriptures don't say that. In that

particular passage. It said, she saw it,

she thought it was good, and she bought

it. She figured out it was good to be a

vineyard, and that's when she created it.

Throughout the course of scripture, there

are so many instances where we see men and

women of God who were quite wealthy and

use their wealth in positive ways to

advance the kingdom. And so. And it didn't

take away from who they are as a Christian

at that time, who they were as jewish men

and women. It didn't take away from that

at all. It was, you know, value added to

that. And so as, as. As we're talking to a

predominantly, uh, christian audience,

what, um. What tip would you give this

audience as to what can we do to create

great personal brands that don't. Where I

don't have to compromise who I am at all?

Look, when you're a Christian, okay, you

got to understand the rules of success are

the same for everybody. There are four

qualities everyone needs to embrace in

order to be successful. First of all,

Laquita, you've got to make a decision

that you will be successful. A decision.

This doesn't mean I'd like to be. It'd be

nice. No, I will be. You must declare it.

I am successful. And you make that

declaration, there is no turning back.

It's like the Greeks back in ancient times

when they attacked Troy, they burned the

ships behind them. There's no retreat.

They had made a decision that we're going

to take Troy or they were going to perish.

Yeah. So think about that. That's a

decision. Business is the same. You must

make a decision that you will be

successful. You got to commit. That means

you got to be willing to be bad at it

before you're okay at it, before you're

good at it, before you're great at it.

It's the only way. Love that. Love that.

You got to commit, and you're going to be

bad at it for a while. Okay? And then

thirdly, you got to hire a coach, and you

got to be coachable. The great Robin

Sharma said, if you want to double your

income in any given year, you got to

triple your investment in personal

professional development. You need to hire

the coaches. You need to join the

masterminds. You need to participate in

the conferences. You need to do the

courses, read the books. Yes, yes. You are

the most important investment you're gonna

make. You should be putting more money

into yourself than anything else in your

business. It just makes sense. People

understand investing. There's a difference

between spending and investing. You spend

a $1,000 on a beautiful new coat, you

invest $1,000 in coaching for yourself

because that money you spent, it's not

going to come back. But the $1,000 you

invest in yourself will make you $10,000.

Yes. Yes. And you shouldn't have to hire a

coach. That will force you to compromise

your christian values. So you should hire

a coach like me, who's somebody who can

help you live your christian values while

becoming successful. Yeah. And then

finally, you've got to be resourceful. You

gotta be resourceful. Back in the early

two thousand ten s, I was going through a

divorce. My then wife, seemingly out of

the blue, decides she didn't want to be

married to me anymore. I was devastated. I

maybe should have seen it coming, but I

didn't. A friend of mine took pity on me

and bought a ticket for me to attend the

conference. I saw a man deliver a speech.

It spoke to my heart, to my soul. I walked

up to him at the end of the speech, and I

said, hey, I think I need to hire you. Let

me tell you my story. You listen to my

story. At the end of it, he said, okay,

you can hire me, but my minimum fee is

$5,000. I get paid upfront, in advance, in

full, and I offer no guarantees and no

refunds. You still want to hire me? I

said, oh, my God, I don't have that kind

of money. He said, okay, I'll give you

some free coaching. I said, wow, that

sounds great. Free coaching. He said, it

doesn't matter how much money you have. I

said, hold up, hold up. You just said, I

need to give you $5,000. Of course it

matters how much money I have. Of course

it matters. He said, no, it doesn't. First

of all, you need me. I don't need you. I

got 20 people lined up. I don't care

whether I get your money or not. I said,

okay. He said, it doesn't matter how much

money you have. What matters is how bad do

you want change? You're sleeping on your

mother's couch. Your wife has kicked you

out of the house. You can't see your kids.

How much longer you want to tolerate this?

A day, a week, a year? A lifetime? Whoa.

No, no, no. So then that, I told him, I'll

come see him in a couple days. I got on

the phone, I started calling people. I

said, hey, I need, I need, I need, I need,

I need, I need some clients. So I called

some clients that had not said yes, had

not said no. And I said, hey, I got good

news for you. They said, what? I was a

fitness trainer at that time. I said,

you're fat. You need to lose weight. And

I'm broke, and I need money so I can see

my kids. So I'll give you my coaching

program for half price. $1,000.02. Guys

said yes. I collected two grand. I told

him, you have to pay me upfront in advance

or forget it. And in full at $2,000. I was

elated. I went to see this man in a couple

days, and I gave him the $2,000. I was so

excited. He said, this is great, son, but

I told you 5000, not 2000. My spirits

fellae. And I said to him, bill, his name

was. I said, bill, how many people have

you told this story to? He said, over the

years, 30, maybe 40. I said, wow, that's a

lot. He said, yeah, it is a lot. And I

said, how many of them besides me ever

came back to you with any money? He said,

oh, you're the first. I'm like, I'm the

first? He says, oh, yeah. I said, then,

look, take my $2,000 and I'll sign a

contract saying, I'll pay you the rest

within 30, 60 days, whatever the case may

be. He agreed. The rest is history. Within

six months, I made six figures. I paid

them off early, and I've never looked

back. And the question that I'm going to

ask your listener, yeah, you want a

personal brand. You want to be successful.

How bad do you want change? Yeah, how bad

do you want it? It really does boil down

to that. We have to be willing to make a

decision, and once we've made that

decision, we have to be willing to commit

to it and not commit to it based on how

well we do, but commit to it when I'm bad,

when I'm mediocre, when I'm kind of good,

and to the place where I'm real good at

it. But the commitment is key. And hiring

a coach, that is so phenomenal, hiring a

coach that is in alignment with my core

values and that number one core value

being my faith in God. And also hiring a

coach, not only that is in line with my

core values, but that has the tenacity to

motivate me, inspire me, kick me in the

butt, whatever term you want to use to

keep me moving forward in the direction of

my desired result because the coach can't

do it for you, you have to have those

first things. You have to have made that

decision, and you have to have made a

commitment before the coach will do you

any good. Listen, that work there will

save a lot of people a lot of money and a

lot of wasted time, because if you

haven't, if you don't have the ability to

make a solid decision or make a definite

commitment, it doesn't matter. As that

gentleman told you, it doesn't matter how

much money you have available to pay for

whatever coach, it's not going to work

because you haven't done step one and step

two. Make the decision. Make the decision,

and then be committed and stick to the

decision. Wow. That's. That's powerful.

And so you yourself also are a coach. Can

you talk to us a little bit about your

program and why your program is

successful? Well, there's a lot of people

in this space, christians especially, that

are afraid of sales. They're just afraid.

They have great morals, great ethics, but

low sales skills, low self belief. They

don't want to be seen as pushy as salesy.

They don't want to reek of commission

breath. Right. So, as a result, they don't

make sales, and their businesses suffer.

One of the programs I run is a sales

accountability program. Call it 90k in 90

days. The objective is to help you get an

additional 90,000 in the next 90 days in

business. And what we do is we help get

people past their fear of sales. We hold

their feet to the fire to sell, to go out

there, talk to people, ask for business.

And I got to tell you, Laquita, that has

worked really, really well. So, if you're

a christian business owner and you know

you need sales and you know that you're

not good at it or. Or scared of it, then a

sales accountability program like mine is

exactly what you need. Get you past your

fear get you into action, get you selling,

because God intends for you to sale. Sales

is an act of love. I only sell to people I

love. I say that again. I say that part

right there. Sales is an act of love. I

only sell people I love. Wow. I've never

heard it put that way. I've never heard it

put that way ever. And as you're saying

it, I'm thinking, like, wow, that's a big

statement. But then, as a business owner,

I'm thinking also, I want to do business

with who I want to do business with. And

that does not mean I want to do business

with everybody that can afford to do

business with me. So my understanding of

that statement is I'm selling to people

that I love, people who I see the

potential in, and that I want to work

with. Is. Is that kind of close to. To

that? Mmm. I love that. So. Exactly. I

only want. I only want to spell people

that I. I have an affinity for. So if

somebody is going to be disrespectful, you

know, disloyal is going to push back. I

don't want to sell them. Not at all. Yeah.

Yeah. So listen, people, I hope, I hope

and I pray that if nothing else stuck out

to you today, there should be at least

four things that stuck out to you today.

Number one, make a decision. Number two,

commit to that decision. And number three,

sell to people that you love. I only sell

to people that I love. I only sell to

people who I want to maintain a

relationship. Like, I want to sell to a

specific group of people. And because I

love them and want them to do better, I

want. I know they need to be connected to

me and I need to be connected to them, and

that's why I'm selling them. So what I

hear you also saying in that is changing

our mindset about sales. Yes. Yes. That

it's not a bad thing. That it's. It's

actually a good thing. And, and are those,

those are different things that people

within your group and your accountability

group that you go through with helping

them to make that shift in their thinking

about sales? Absolutely. Without that

shift in their thinking about sales, they

are not going to succeed. Let's be 1000%

honest with each other. You cannot succeed

if you are unwilling to change your mind

about sales. If you're going to be soft in

your conversations and nice, you're going

to be stuck with your client in the apathy

zone. People buy when they're hungry, and

when they're excited, when they're hungry,

they got to make a change. When they're

excited, they see an exciting future that

they want. When they're in the middle

because of you. That they're in the middle

because your language is soft, because

you're shading the truth, also known as

lying. Oh, wow. Yeah. Look, if you're a

fitness coach, right, and you're talking

to a client and go, well, listen, you're

just a little bit big boned. No, you're

fat. You're fat. You need to lose weight

so you don't die 20 years early and your

family gets to have you around longer.

It's cause you're fat. It's cause you're

fat. Not cause you're big boned. Cause

you're fat. And you know why you're fat?

Cause you eat too much and you move too

little. That's a problem. And we need to

change that. You understand? Like, that's

how I would speak to you. And if you're in

business and your business is under 100

grand and you're not able to make your

mortgage payments, you don't have enough

money for groceries, you're going deeper

into debt every month, you suck at

selling. You suck at selling. You. No, no,

it's not that times are tough. It's you

suck at selling. We need to make you not

suck at selling. We need to make you good

at selling. We need to make sure that you

understand why that's important and we

need to push you out of your comfort zone

if this hurts your feelings. You care more

about your feelings than you do about your

life and your success. Wow. I submit to

you that if you care more about your

feelings than your life and your success,

you are not truly a child of God. That is

allowing God to serve you, because God

gives you messages like two by fours to

the head sometimes. Yes, he does. Yes, he

does. He's unapologetic. My God is a

loving God, but my God is not a wasp. Not

at all. Not at all. He gives you the truth

and nothing but the truth, and we just

have to take it. For the truth shall set

you free. Do not seek a shade of the

truth. Do not seek a indirect version of

the truth, also known as a lie. See that

part? The truth. The truth. The truth

shall set you free. Yes. Yes. Oh, my. Do

you lack energy? Are you overweight?

You're fat because you eat too much and

you don't move enough. Let's handle that.

Right? Are you going further and further

into debt every month? Right? Are you

unable to pay your mortgage? Your business

is failing because you don't know how to

sell and you're afraid of selling. Those

are true. Let's do something about that.

Let's do something about it. Do something

about that. Right. Right. Wow. So when.

When a person wants to connect with you

and your accountability, your sales

accountability academy, they have to be

ready to receive the truth. They have to

be ready to receive the truth that's not

sugar coated and be determined that, okay,

this is the truth. This is why I'm here.

What do I need to do to fix it? And be

willing to make the necessary commitments

to take the steps to fix the problem.

Amen, sister. Amen. Wow. Wow. I'm here

coming from love, but I'm here. Not coming

from. From weakness. Not coming from

wanting you to like me. I don't care if

you like me. Mm hmm. I want you to know I

love you, and I'm here to help you win.

I'm coming, love, but I'm not gonna let

you keep lying to yourself. Not. Come on.

That's. Those are the most. Those are the

most devastating lies we tell are the ones

we tell to ourselves. Yep, you got it. Oh,

yeah. Yeah. That could be a whole topic of

conversation right there. The lies we tell

to ourselves to keep us stuck. But listen,

Nikki, thank you so much. Do you have

given us some amazing food for thoughts

and powerful tools to pull into our

toolbox. But before we wrap this podcast

up, please let our listeners know where

they can reach you, where they can connect

with you. My name is unique Nikki Baloo.

go type my name into any social media

platform that I'm on, you'll find me, like

Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn. Nikki

Baloo, come check it out. If you're a

reader, and you should be a reader, if

you're interested in personal branding and

thought leadership, then I've written ten

books. Go to Amazon and look at my book

list and order all the books. I recommend

you order every single book I've ever

written, and I recommend you read them all

because you'll learn. I'm a deep thinker.

I write about things that are helpful to

you, that help you make more money, you

know, have a stronger mindset, win in

life. That's super important. But if

you're a business owner who's ready for

change, ready for some truth and for some

love, and is clear, they're not to be

treated like a wuss. They're to be treated

like a grown man and a grown woman. Then
