This Mother Means Business: Strategy, Advice, and Support for Mom Entrepreneurs

What To Do When External Pressure Makes You Question Everything About Your Business (Even What’s Working)

Laura Sinclair

At the start of a new year, it’s easy to feel the pressure to do more — more tactics, more platforms, more strategies. In this episode, Laura shares a powerful coaching conversation that reveals why that urge often isn’t about strategy at all… it’s about trust.

If you’ve found yourself questioning a strategy that technically works, wanting something different even though nothing is broken, or feeling unsettled by how quiet growth can feel — this episode is for you.

 

In this episode you will hear:

  • 00:19 – The pressure of a new year and feeling behind by January
  • 01:45 – When a business is “working” but still feels heavy
  • 02:36 – What people think they’re asking for vs. what they actually need
  • 03:45 – When time, money, or capacity start to feel tighter
  • 04:51 – The belief that growth should feel lighter by now
  • 05:50 – Why smart women blow everything up too early
  • 07:15 – What seven-figure agency owners say about referrals
  • 08:35 – The reframe: you don’t need a new strategy
  • 09:30 – When the hardest work is trusting what already works
  • 10:45 – Why this quiet phase is where real momentum is built
  • 11:48 – Doubling down on relationships in a trust-based economy
