957 | You’re Not Scared to Start a Business… THIS Is What's Holding You Back

Author: Stefanie Gass - Christian Business Coach, Podcast Coach, Online Business Coach May 11, 2026 Duration: 18:10
What if you’re not actually afraid to start… but afraid of what might happen if you do? What if the hesitation you’ve been calling “wisdom” is really fear in disguise? In today’s episode, we’re uncovering what’s really holding you back from starting the business God has placed on your heart. Because for so many women, it’s not a lack of ideas, discipline, or even desire... It’s the fear of failure... subtle, convincing, and often masked as being “wise” or “waiting on God.” But let’s be honest…Are you truly waiting on God? Or are you waiting for a guarantee? A guarantee that it will work. That you won’t fail. That you heard Him right. Because the real fear isn’t starting, it’s facing the possibility that it might not go the way you hoped. And that’s the part no one talks about. In this episode, we’re gently exposing the patterns, thoughts, and beliefs that keep you stuck in hesitation, overthinking, and delay. You’ll begin to see that what feels like caution may actually be the very thing keeping you from your calling. But we’re not stopping there. I’m also walking you through how to move forward with the fear... not after it’s gone. Because courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s obedience in the middle of it. And make sure you stay until the end, because I’m giving you a simple 3-step reset to help you break free from paralysis, quiet the noise, and finally take aligned action. You don’t need a guarantee. You need trust. And when you choose obedience over fear, everything begins to shift. I pray this blesses you!
