Go First: Building a Business in a Lane No One Else Is In | Ep. 87

What do you do when God calls you to build something that has no blueprint? In this episode of Founder Diaries, we're getting real about the tension between what feels safe and what feels obedient and why going first is exactly what God is asking of you.This week's conversation covers the money mindset shift that changed how I talk about my offers, why I stopped trying to sound like every other entrepreneur online, and what God revealed to me about serving an underserved market with printed products. We also dig into what it looks like to be in a building season, pulling back on content, fixing your infrastructure, and trusting that multiplication follows obedience.If you've been wrestling with your calling because no one else is doing what you're doing, this episode is your confirmation to keep going.In this episode:Why talking about money felt "icky" and the mindset shift that changed itHow Jesus spoke people's language before giving them what they actually neededWhat it means to "go first" as a faith-led entrepreneurBuilding demand by serving underserved peopleWhy Q1 is a season of infrastructure, not performanceHebrews 12:11-12 and taking a new grip when you're tired<< Get in NOW for the Inner Circle: Accelerator.
