Quieting the Doubt: How to Keep Going When You're Building Something Big
Let’s be real—building a business is one of the most courageous things you can do. It’s vulnerable. It’s brave. And sometimes, it can bring up a whole lot of self-doubt.
You might question if you’re good enough, if anyone will buy from you, or if you’re cut out for this. That little voice that says “who do you think you are?” can be loud—especially when you’re dreaming big.
But here’s the truth: self-doubt isn’t a sign you’re failing. It’s a sign you’re growing.
And you don’t have to let it hold you back.
Here’s how to navigate self-doubt and keep building the business and life you truly want.
Start by Normalizing It
Self-doubt is part of the entrepreneurial journey. Every successful woman you admire has felt it—even when they looked confident on the outside.
The key isn’t to eliminate doubt completely. It’s to recognize it, acknowledge it, and decide to take action anyway.
Get Clear on Your Vision
When doubt creeps in, reconnecting with your bigger vision can help ground you.
Ask yourself:
Why did I start this business?
What kind of life am I building?
Who do I want to help?
Your vision is your anchor. When you focus on the impact you want to make and the life you’re creating, the fear becomes easier to move through.
If you haven’t created a clear business vision yet, now’s a perfect time. Write it down, visualize it, and keep it where you can see it.
Take Aligned Action
Self-doubt often thrives when you’re stuck in your head. The best way to silence it is to take small, meaningful action.
You don’t need to do everything at once. Choose one thing that moves your business forward and go all in on that.
Here are a few examples:
Publish that blog post you’ve been sitting on
Share your offer with one person today
Set up an email funnel inside FEA Create
Momentum builds confidence. And confidence quiets the doubt.
Set Up Supportive Systems
Sometimes, self-doubt comes from feeling disorganized or overwhelmed. That’s where having systems in place makes a huge difference.
With FEA Create, you can:
Build your website
Automate your email marketing
Schedule your social media posts
Launch your funnels
Streamline your client bookings
When you know your business is set up to support you, you naturally feel more capable and in control.
Surround Yourself with the Right People
Entrepreneurship can feel isolating, especially when you’re trying to grow something big. That’s why community matters so much.
Inside the Members' Club, you’ll find women who get it. Women who are chasing big dreams just like you. Women who will cheer you on when your confidence wobbles.
Having people around you who believe in you can be the thing that helps you keep believing in yourself.
Rewrite the Story
Self-doubt often stems from stories we’ve picked up along the way. Stories like:
I have to be perfect
I need more experience before I launch
I’m not as good as they are
But here’s the thing—stories can be rewritten.
Try replacing those thoughts with more supportive ones like:
I’m allowed to be a beginner
I bring something unique to the table
Progress is more powerful than perfection
The way you speak to yourself matters. Be kind. Be encouraging. Be your own biggest cheerleader.
Final Thoughts
Self-doubt doesn’t mean you’re not capable. It means you care. It means you’re stepping outside your comfort zone. It means you’re dreaming bigger than ever before.
So the next time doubt whispers that you can’t, remind yourself that you already are.
You’re doing the brave thing. You’re building something real. And you’re not doing it alone.
Your dream business is on the other side of the next small step. Keep going.
