Have you ever planned an event with your whole heart? You've got the decorations, the snacks, the music, the lighting—maybe even that cute sign by the door. You clean the house, light the candles, bring out the good china. You're buzzing with excitement because you know lives are about to be changed.

And then 6:00 PM comes. No one's there.

The doorbell rings—it's your mom. (Thanks, Mom.) A few minutes later, your two friends who you bribed with snacks arrive. 6:30 comes. 7:00 PM comes. And then you realize: no one else is coming.

You close down the party with that sinking feeling mixed with embarrassment and disappointment, asking yourself: Is there something wrong with me?

But here's the truth: Nothing is wrong with you. Nothing was wrong with your excitement, your belief, or your heart.

The only missing piece? Validation before creation.

This exact scenario plays out every single day in the online business world—especially for kingdom women entrepreneurs who build in isolation.

We invest time, energy, and emotion creating programs, courses, and offers before even checking if our people want them. We plan, polish, and perfect. We buy the tech, make the slides, record the lessons, pick the fonts. Then we plan, polish, and perfect again.

And when we finally throw the doors open to our product, we're praying people come rushing in.

Except they don't.

Suddenly it feels like that empty house on party day. You're looking at your work thinking, Lord, did I get this wrong? Did I misunderstand the assignment?

But here's what you need to know: Nothing is wrong with your passion, your calling, or your heart. The Lord wants you to bring that heavenly solution down to that earthly problem.

The problem wasn't your offer. It was your approach.

I see so many kingdom women accidentally repeating this pattern:

But we never actually ask real humans along the way. We never get feedback. We never test the idea out loud. We build the entire party without knowing who is actually planning to show up.

The solution? A founding member launch that validates your offer idea before you spend months building it.

When I work with clients, I see three main reasons we don't put our offers out into the world:

Fear shows up as procrastination or protection. We procrastinate because we're protecting ourselves from something:

Ask yourself: What am I protecting myself from?

Your brain is wired to keep you safe in the familiar. When you step into unknown territory—like launching your first program—your brain sends off alarm signals.

We label those sensations as fear or overwhelm. But really, it's just your brain doing its job, letting you know you're in unfamiliar territory. And that's okay. Because as soon as you do the thing, it becomes familiar. And you start getting the feedback you need.

The link's not perfect. The email automation isn't exactly set up right. The landing page could be better.

Yes, we want to put exceptional things into the world because we're kingdom women entrepreneurs, and all glory goes to our Heavenly Father. But when we wait until it's perfect, we've waited too long.

Because feedback and data are what you need to tweak and get clear on what you're doing.

The feedback you get doesn't mean anything about you. Your identity is rooted in Christ Jesus. Your calling and mission are rooted in the One who called you.

The data just tells you what needs to be tweaked:

But you won't know any of this until you actually put your content, message, or offer out there.

When you don't put that idea or offer into the world, you lose:

You stay in preparation mode instead of activation mode.

Here's what no one's telling you: The first stage of your business is supposed to be messy.

The women making $5K, $10K, $20K months? They didn't wait for perfection. They launched scrappy. They adjusted and gathered real feedback. That's where you build momentum.

I approach my business like a mad scientist—and I want you to do the same.

Think in experiments and hypotheses. Your founding member launch is an experiment you're testing. When something unexpected happens—revenue dropping, an email flopping, a message that doesn't resonate—don't panic.

Instead, think: Ooh, I wonder why that happened. I wonder what will happen if...

Because nothing in business or life is irreversible:

To me, the worst outcome isn't failure. It's never knowing. I don't want to live with the question of "what if" because there was a moment I could have been brave enough to find out, but I didn't.

When you put your idea out there and get feedback, you receive:

Real, actionable data—not theories or opinions. Evidence of what's working and what's not.

Message clarity—Your message gets louder, stronger, and clearer once you start getting it out there and your ideal clients give you feedback.

Momentum—Results create excitement, and excitement creates momentum you can capitalize on.

Confidence—Actually doing the thing, getting feedback, making tweaks, and seeing results builds confidence that no amount of planning ever will.

Sometimes you can have all the tech working, your messaging on point, your funnel running smoothly, and things still aren't clicking. That's when you need to check:

Am I in alignment with my kingdom assignment?

We can have all the business strategies in the world, but if we're not in alignment with where the Lord wants us to go, some things won't work as well. Spend time with your Heavenly Board of Directors to make sure you're aligned.

Whatever that thing is that you need to put out into the world for feedback—whether it's a piece of content, a post, a podcast episode, or that offer you've been sitting on—validate it.

Put it out into the world. Get the feedback you need.

Stop building in isolation. Stop hoping enthusiasm will equal engagement. Stop throwing parties to empty rooms.

Start testing. Start gathering data. Start building momentum.

Because there are people waiting for your heavenly solution to their earthly problem. And they can't benefit from what you never release.

If you haven't yet seen consistent $2K-$3K months, it's time to discover the Idea to Income Method—my proven system and the fastest way to launch a profitable, impactful, and sustainable business by God's design.

This FREE 3-day event will help you turn your God-given idea into a profitable offer that actually sells.

Most kingdom women spend six months (or six years) trying to perfect the right niche, the perfect branding, every module—before anyone buys. They build first and pray it works. Then what happens? They launch once, or never at all, and hear crickets. Or maybe they get a buyer or two, but there's no momentum, no consistency, and no repeatable system.

Not because the idea was wrong, but because they built it in isolation with no buyer validation, no market feedback, and no demand before delivery.

That's not going to be you.

Remember: Success in online business is all about curiosity, not certainty. Give yourself permission to try things that might not work. Because everything in business is an experiment, and every "failure" is just feedback and data you need to succeed.
