#192: Failure to Launch: 5 Reasons Why Your God-Given Business Hasn’t Gotten Off the Ground . . . Yet

July 13, 2025

You’ve started the business God told you to build — not once, not twice, but more times than you can count. So why does it feel like it’s still stuck on the runway?

Every relaunch, every rebrand, every “this time I’m serious” feels like it fizzles before the wheels even lift. You’re exhausted from trying to DIY your way to breakthrough. You’re secretly wondering if maybe you’re not cut out for this — or worse, if you somehow misheard God.

But hear me: you didn’t mishear Him. And you’re not failing. You’re missing a Spirit-led blueprint and the right support to finally launch with clarity and confidence.

This episode? It’s your lifeline. Your confirmation. Your hope that all this starting and stalling hasn’t disqualified you — it’s prepared you for what’s next.

In this episode, we’re talking about:
✅ The 5 reasons my God-given business stayed grounded for years (and how I broke the cycle).

✅ How self-doubt and fear of charging kept me stuck “helping for free” instead of stewarding my assignment boldly.

✅ Why overselling to the wrong people (and neglecting the right ones) sabotaged my momentum.

✅ The endless “research” trap — how comparison disguised itself as productivity.

✅ Why chaos and constant pivots are no substitute for a proven, Spirit-led framework.

Are you ready to stop stalling on the runway? Sis, this business launching thing isn’t “too much” for you. You’re not too late. And you are absolutely not disqualified. You definitely don’t need more hustle. 🙄

What you DO need is a sanctified strategy and a fresh start. If you’re ready to talk about how to get this business off the ground for real this time, I want you to – grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and… Let’s Go!
