Outsmart the Hustle

When people you respect tell you to quit your business dreams, what do you do?

Short answer: you keep going.

But not blindly! Definitely in discernment and discipline.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what to do in seasons of pressure, when the path gets foggy, and when even wise voices question your vision. Because sometimes the resistance is a sign to pivot, and sometimes it’s simply proof that you’re early.

Ask yourself:
• Am I building from fear or from faith in the vision God already showed me?
• Is this resistance trying to protect me or grow me?
• Am I chasing comfort or calling?
• What evidence in my story already proves I can do hard things?
• What does future-me thank me for choosing today?

If you're in a season where you feel stretched, misunderstood, or tempted to shrink, this episode is your reminder: pressure isn’t a stop sign. It’s the gym where your future leadership muscle is built. Exercise amidst the pressure!

This is your chance to level up your capacity, and the good news is you're not in this alone because every entrepreneur feels this pressure at some point, or many points.

Stay rooted in your God-given purpose. Stay in the room long enough to see the harvest. Winter is merciless. The life of spring is right around the corner.
