  • 062: Why Testing Your Vision Is A Trap
    Nov 10 2025
    In this episode, I dive deep into a question that many entrepreneurs grapple with: Is the advice to test your niche or build a minimum viable product really serving your journey? I challenge the conventional wisdom that encourages constant testing rather than trusting your vision. While hustle culture pushes us toward validating our ideas through market trials, I argue that this approach can lead to burnout and diminished self-esteem, especially for those of us who have experienced the entrepreneurial grind with its accompanying pressures and fears. I reflect on the roots of this testing mentality, suggest that it stems from an underlying fear—that our ideas and visions are not valid unless proven through sales or approval from others. I emphasize that your vision is not merely a test; it is a divine assignment, a calling that you are uniquely equipped to manifest. Instead of seeking validation, I advocate for a shift towards trusting our innate wisdom and lived experiences, which fundamentally shapes our entrepreneurial endeavors. My philosophy centers on the idea that when we prioritize our vision and work with purpose, we can truly harness the potential that comes from aligning our business goals with our personal values. Throughout my journey as a Gen X entrepreneur, I share personal anecdotes, including my transformative experience after a health crisis that forced me to reevaluate my relentless pursuit of hustle. As I navigated my recovery, I discovered the importance of trusting in a vision that connects my professional goals with my personal mission—helping others manage their health and build successful businesses without sacrificing their well-being. It is this profound awareness that drives me to say that when we move away from testing towards embracing our calling, we can cultivate both clarity and peace of mind, which naturally leads to profit that follows purpose. To support this shift, I introduce my book, "Dear Entrepreneur," and my accompanying "Heart and Mind Business Playbook," designed as practical tools for the entrepreneurial journey. The book contains 52 letters of love and encouragement intended to remind you of your worth and the significance of your vision. Along with this, the playbook serves as a guided system, providing structured weekly activities that allow you to reflect, write, and take action towards your goals—whether that means confronting feelings of unworthiness or navigating challenges like comparison. My aim is to help you create a stay-calm system that inspires you to take bold actions and ultimately honor your calling. As I encourage you to stop testing your vision, I also remind you that you possess the power to bring your dreams to fruition. I believe wholeheartedly in your potential, and this episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that your vision is worthy, and you are deserving of the journey ahead.

    In this episode, I share my personal journey of transformation and empowerment after an unexpected health crisis that dramatically altered my life. It's been seven years since my last podcast episode, and in that time, I faced challenges that forced me to confront truths about my health. Diagnosed with type 2 diabetes during a critical health scare, I recognized that I had been ignoring the signs my body was sending me. This revelation was both humbling and motivational. While reflecting on my hospital experience, I speak about how my condition was a result of years of neglecting the important signals my body was providing. It became clear that ignoring warning signs—whether they appear in health or business—only postpones inevitable crises. I've taken the past five years to rebuild my health through diet, education, and understanding my needs, both physical and entrepreneurial. This journey not only restored my health but also allowed me to refine my vision and voice as a leader in the entrepreneurial space. I am dedicated to serving Gen X entrepreneurs who may feel lost, overwhelmed, or late to the game but still possess the vision and experience to thrive in today's business landscape. This podcast is an invitation to my fellow entrepreneurs, particularly those who are pivoting after significant life events or who are returning to the business world after setbacks. I resonate with those who feel societal pressure to have everything figured out and who are disillusioned by the hustle culture that glorifies grinding and overwhelming work ethics. I emphasize the importance of listening to ourselves—both our bodies and our businesses—instead of conforming to external expectations. My message centers on reclaiming your narrative and using your unique experiences as strengths rather than weaknesses. I also unveil my latest work, "Dear Entrepreneur," a collection of 52 letters filled with love and encouragement designed to support fellow business owners on their journeys. I created a Playbook that includes the ebook, audiobook, journal, and bonus Toolokit avilable as a support for your business journey. This episode marks a renewed commitment to my podcast, where I'll be sharing my real talk content across various platforms to engage and support you wherever you are. Together, we will explore how to navigate the entrepreneurial landscape without compromising our well-being. I invite you to join me on this journey towards embracing our true selves as entrepreneurs. It's a time to give yourself permission to start anew, pivot, and prioritize your well-being while achieving business success. You do not need to prove yourself to anyone; you simply need to believe in your unique value and potential. If you're ready for this journey, let's walk it together, and I encourage you to connect with me for resources that can support you in overcoming your own obstacles in entrepreneurship.
