285: The Audacity to Trust Yourself in Business

Trusting yourself in business sounds simple, but in practice it can feel complicated. Especially when you are capable, prepared, and still hesitating at the moment it matters most.

In this solo episode, we unpack what audacity really looks like for Black entrepreneurs. Not the loud or performative version, but the quiet conviction it takes to move without guarantees, stop self editing, and let your own judgment lead even when the outcome is uncertain.

This conversation is for the entrepreneur who knows they are ready, but keeps waiting. Waiting for better timing. Waiting for more confirmation. Waiting until it feels safer.

DURING THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:

• Why hesitation often shows up after you’ve done the work, not before

• How self editing quietly costs Black entrepreneurs opportunities before a “no” is ever given

• What audacity looks like in everyday business decisions, not viral moments

• How to tell the difference between seeking perspective and avoiding responsibility

• Why waiting for certainty keeps you stuck in preparation mode

• How to rebuild trust in your own judgment one decision at a time
