Trust Your Gut: Build a Business That Feels Right for You

As an entrepreneur, advice is everywhere. Experts, influencers, and even friends (hey, that’s me!) have opinions on what you should do. But at the end of the day, this is your business, and only you know what’s truly right.

I intentionally consume a great deal of information during my day, always open to learning and leveraging best practices. BUT … if I’m not careful, my ambition gets hijacked by other people’s opinions and I end up frustrated by a lifestyle I didn’t set out to create.

Here’s the truth: your instincts are there for a reason. That inner voice often knows what’s best for you and your business, even if someone else’s advice sounds great on paper.

"Expert Advice" Isn’t Always Right

It’s easy to follow someone else’s “proven” method, but what works for them might not work for you. Their audience, goals, and values aren’t the same as yours. Ignoring your gut to follow their plan can leave you feeling frustrated and disconnected from the joy that inspired you to start your business.

#TrustYoSelf

Your intuition comes from your experiences and connection to your work. It’s there to help you make choices that align with your values and goals. If something doesn’t feel right, listen to that feeling. Trust that feeling.

Community Can Help

That doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. A supportive community like our Five Words In tribe (aren’t they just the cutest?!) is a great place to share ideas each week, receive encouragement, and stay accountable. We’re here to help, but we also believe that you know what’s best for your business. We actually trust your gut around here!

Build Your Way

You started this to create a life you love, not to follow someone else’s path. So, when making decisions, ask yourself:

🔸 Does it feel right to me?

🔸 Does this match my goals?

🔸 Will this help me build the life I want?

🔸 Am I doing this for me or because someone else said so?

The Bottom Line

Take advice, but trust your gut. Lean on our FWI community for support, but always remember: this is your business, and you’re the one building it.

We’re here to cheer you on as you make it yours! 📣 See you NEXT week!
