Your "Entrepreneur's Journey": Why It's Okay That You Haven't Succeeded (Yet)
🚀 Chad's message this week was simple: You are exactly where you're supposed to be. Here's why that feeling of fear is actually the final step before your breakthrough.
Does this sound familiar?
You have a "gold mine" of an idea. You’ve "cracked the code" to something special. You know you're sitting on a winning strategy... but you just can't pull the trigger. That lack of confidence is holding you back.
You're stuck.
This week, Chad delivered one of his most important mindset lessons. He calls this feeling the "Entrepreneur's Journey," and it's a phase every single successful person goes through.
The "Painful Blessing" of Watching Someone Else Win
The most painful part of this journey is what happens while you're waiting for the "perfect" time.
You'll be sitting on your idea, and one day... someone else will launch it. You'll watch them go out there, "put a button on it," and start crushing it with your idea. Your first reaction is, "Damn it, I should have been doing this the whole time!"
Chad's response to this? That's a blessing.
That feeling of regret is the "kick in the ass" you need. It's the universe forcing you to pay attention. You get to see them make it work, and you get to reverse-engineer their success. You'll see their simple logo, their "not very pretty" page, and their simple video, and you'll realize... "Man, I know how to do all that."
That's the moment your journey starts to turn.
Confidence Isn't the Starting Line (It's the Result)
We think we need to feel confident before we can act. Chad's story proves this is 100% backward.
When Chad started, he was a self-proclaimed introvert who was "scared to be on video." He was raised by an abusive stepdaddy who told him he'd "never amount to anything." He had every reason to lack confidence.
So what made him act? He had no choice.
He was living check-to-check, going to check-cashing centers, and had two little girls to support. His "why" was so strong that it forced him to overcome his fears.
Confidence isn't what gets you started. Courage is.
The real fear, Chad warns, isn't failure. The real fear is "not doing anything." It's looking back 10 years from now and being in the exact same place, knowing you had the ideas and the tools but never put them to use.
You Will Never Know Your Value Until You Sell It
The confidence you're looking for will only come from one place: putting a button on the page.
As Chad explained:
"You will never know your value if somebody can't buy it. It'll never hit you... People will never be able to invest in you. They'll never be able to come back and give you feedback. They'll never be able to compliment you. They will not be able to help you grow unless you put a button on the page."
You don't need to sell a $3,000 product tomorrow. Start with a $7 or $15 offer. The moment you get that first sale, everything changes.
That one customer—that one person who invested in you—gives you the feedback, the compliment, and the proof that you needed. That's what builds real confidence. That's what gives you the fuel to keep going.
So stop waiting for the fear to go away. It won't.
You are right where you are supposed to be. Keep connecting the dots. Keep learning. But today, go put a button on the page.
