If you've been wondering whether your business will ever really get off the ground, or sometimes feel like you're the only one struggling, this conversation is for you.
In this episode, I talk to my friend and colleague Jennie Lakenan about overcoming fear, building a business, and continuing to move forward even when life feels messy. As a web designer, certified StoryBrand Guide, and certified life coach who has built more than 150 websites over the last eight years, Jennie combines design, messaging, and coaching to help business owners navigate growth and the challenges of putting themselves out there.
You'll hear Jennie's story of overcoming a long-standing fear of driving one small step at a time, and how you can apply that same method to business growth. We also discuss life balance, how Jennie approached growing her family while being the primary breadwinner, and why progress often comes from moving forward even when you don’t feel completely ready.
Whether you're facing a fear, contemplating a big decision, or trying to grow your business without expecting too much of yourself, Jennie's journey will remind you that small steps can add up more than you imagine.
What you’ll learn:
- How Jennie made the decision to pursue her business full-time while raising young children
- Why an element of trust or faith is essential when making decisions and how it can look different for everyone
- How Jennie worked through her fear of driving without expecting herself to overcome it all at once
- Why the “go big” approach isn’t always the right choice for sustainable business growth
- Practical business advice to help you clarify your messaging and let go of perfection
