The 9-to-5 Habit That's Secretly Stalling Your Business {5.06.26}

from The Goal Getter Guide with Jen Laffin · host Jen Laffin

There's a version of "doing the research" that's actually just postponing a decision you already know you need to make.In this episode, Jen shares the moment in her own business when she realized she wasn't waiting for more information — she was waiting for someone outside of herself to confirm what she already knew. And the longer no one did, the more she doubted it.She unpacks why this pattern is so common for women entrepreneurs, how the habits of an employee mindset follow us into business ownership, and why results — even the ones that don't go as planned — are just data, not proof that you can't be trusted.If you've been sitting on a decision longer than feels reasonable, this episode is worth your time.This week's question: Are you waiting for more information, or are you waiting for permission?Ready to stop waiting and start moving? The Momentum Room is built for exactly this. Calm accountability, no angst, and a community of women done letting hesitation run the show.
