It Only Works If You Keep Going

In this episode of Sh*t I Just Quit My Job, host Maricella Herrera sits down with serial entrepreneur, community builder, and podcast host Raven O’Neal for a conversation about fear, consistency, and what it really takes to follow through on big ideas.

They talk about how fear evolves with experience, what it looks like to walk away from a business idea even when it has real potential, and why consistency is often more powerful than inspiration.

Listeners will also hear Raven reflect on her journey from corporate marketing to launching multiple ventures, helping hundreds of entrepreneurs as a startup advisor, and running her podcast Hacking the Patriarchy.

Whether you're wrestling with self-doubt, struggling to finish what you started, or wondering how to know when it’s time to quit — this episode offers thoughtful, no-BS insight from someone who’s been on both sides of the table.

Key Takeaways:

- Why fear often gets louder, not quieter, with age and responsibility- How to know when to walk away from an idea — and when to come back- What women need to unlearn about sales and negotiation- The connection between visibility, self-doubt, and consistency- Why messy progress still counts
