🎧 Episode Summary:

Today I want to talk about the mindset hurdle that keeps so many solo entrepreneurs stuck... waiting to feel “ready.”  I am sharing five clear signs that it’s time to take that next step, even if your confidence hasn’t caught up yet, and what it means to uplevel on your terms.

We will also be talking about why fear will always tag along for the ride (and why that’s okay), and how to move forward in your business even when things aren’t perfectly lined up. So if you’ve been circling that idea, itching for more, or feeling just a little too comfortable, grab your favorite mug and let’s talk about why you’re more ready than you think.

What I hope you take away from today's episode... 

☕ You don’t need to feel 100% ready to take the next step. Being ready and willing is enough.
☕ Outgrowing your comfort zone is a sign that it’s time to grow.
☕ That idea that keeps circling your brain? It’s not random. It’s a nudge.
☕ Feeling stuck, bored, or restless isn’t failure. It’s an invitation to explore something new.
☕ You don’t need a big, flashy launch to uplevel. Small, aligned steps count just as much.
☕ There’s no “right way” to grow your business. Your way is the right way.
