You have the talent. You have experience. You may even have evidence that other people value what you can do.
So why don’t you feel ready?
After being fired and spending approximately a year searching for another traditional job, Del began paying closer attention to women who were earning meaningful income from skills like hers. She saw full-time self-employed home bakers, coaches, authors, and speakers building businesses around their abilities.
Their success didn’t guarantee hers. But it raised an important question:
"Why not me, too?"
In this episode, Del explores how practical preparation can sometimes conceal a deeper doubt about our own capability. While training, strategy, and experience matter, constantly creating another requirement can keep us preparing for something we may already be capable of beginning.
In this episode, you’ll consider:
Why familiar structures can feel safer than creating your own The difference between being inexperienced and being incapable How “I’m not ready” can become a permanent waiting room Why accomplishments don’t always silence self-doubt What other women’s success can reveal about possibility Why belief doesn’t require certainty that you will succeed How action can create evidence that strengthens self-trust If you’ve been questioning whether you’re truly ready, take the free What’s REALLY Holding You Back? assessment. It can help you begin identifying the pattern beneath the reason you’ve been giving yourself:
