Join my free community online here: https://lindsayfletcher.co/community When people don't understand the vision God gave you, it's tempting to shrink it until it's easier to explain. This solo episode is for Christian women in business who are building something the people around them can't see yet. It's also for anyone who's tired of wondering whether the pushback she's getting is wisdom or just someone else's fear. Lindsay starts with a story from a recent Leaders' Table event. A member had just found out that friends were asking behind her back, "Who does she think she is?" From there, Lindsay gets honest about her own version of this. She knew she was supposed to build a business network for Christian women. Instead she started a general Facebook group that never mentioned faith, a watered-down yes she kept up for close to two years. She explains how she now tells wise counsel apart from asking for permission, why she doesn't share an early vision with everyone, and what Habakkuk 2:2 does and doesn't mean for business owners. The second half covers why expansion usually requires elimination. That includes laying down the sales workshops she's good at, and turning down a speaking spot at an online summit this week. The short answer: someone questioning your strategy is different from someone questioning your calling. Listen hard to the first. If the vision lines up with Scripture, it doesn't need a committee's approval. Questions we get into: How do I know if my business vision is from God or my ego? What's the difference between wise counsel and seeking permission? How do I say no to a good opportunity without feeling like I'm falling behind?
