In this episode, I talk about what happens when I stop trusting my own judgment and start following advice simply because an expert told me to. I share a story from my Grow Launch Sell program about a successful membership owner who planned a launch she didn't actually want to do, and how using strategies that don't fit me, my audience, or my offer can lead to poor execution, misaligned energy, and weaker results.
I also share why I'm moving my podcast and YouTube episodes from every Monday to every other Monday. This change gives me more space to create quality content, properly market each episode, and bring you more guest conversations. I also talk about how I distinguish between healthy nerves and the feeling that something simply isn't right for me.
Finally, I share how helping my client rebuild her launch around an approach that felt right for her led to more signups, strong retention, and renewed confidence. The biggest lesson is simple: I can listen to expert advice without automatically following it. The more I trust my own judgment and make decisions that fit my business, the better my results can become.
3 Key Takeaways
- Make Sure Advice Fits My Business
I don't need to follow a strategy simply because a successful coach or expert recommends it. Before adopting someone else's advice, I need to consider whether it actually fits my business, my audience, my offer, and the way I want to work.
- Pay Attention to How a Strategy Feels
There is a difference between feeling nervous because I'm stretching myself and feeling genuine dread because something isn't right for me. Paying attention to that distinction can help me recognize when I'm moving outside my zone of confidence versus when I'm forcing myself into an approach that doesn't fit.
- Trusting Myself Leads to Better Decisions
The more I outsource my decisions to other people, the harder it becomes to trust my own judgment. When I take the time to question advice, reconnect with what I actually want, and make decisions based on my own business, I can create launches that feel more aligned—and often get better results as a result.
