How to Kill the Disappointment That's Been Delaying Your Business

**#037 // *FOR THE KINGDOM WOMAN WHO'S BEEN BUILDING THIS BUSINESS FOR YEARS AND IS QUIETLY STARTING TO WONDER IF SHE'S THE PROBLEM…*** The first thing women tell me when they come into my mentorship is almost always the same sentence:  "*I've been trying to build this for years*." And underneath that sentence is something they don't say out loud. *I'm failing. I'm not cut out for this. I'm getting it wrong somewhere. Maybe I heard God wrong about the whole thing*. That's disappointment, and it's been sitting quiet, deep down on the inside, for a long time. So here’s the warning label right at the top of this episode: ⚠️ *If you put your hope in the wrong thing, you will generate disappointment*. Which means the disappointment isn't coming from how long this is taking. It's coming from where you've been putting your hope. And Sis, where you put your hope is a choice. Now here's the part that's going to get you. You already know not to put your hope in your own strength. But there's a second place you've been putting it that looks completely spiritual, that most of us would defend, and it is quietly wrecking you. In this week's episode of the *Jesus Girl Gang Kingdom Business Podcast*, I'm showing you exactly where your hope has landed, how to move it, and how that one shift kills disappointment and stops delaying your business. Here's what we're getting into: → **"AM I THE PROBLEM?"** What I hear from almost every woman who comes into my mentorship stuck, and why the stuckness itself has been manufacturing something far more expensive than lost time → **"BUT I'M TRUSTING GOD'S PROMISE."** This is the one that's going to offend some minds. There is a difference between where you think your hope is and where it actually is, and Scripture is specific about it → **"IS THIS SHAME I'M FEELING?"** Ask yourself one question and you'll know whether what happened to you was shame or something else entirely. Most women get this wrong and pay for it in their identity → **"WHAT IF THE DEADLINE ALREADY PASSED?"** What God started teaching me about when I was truly between a rock and a hard place, and why a passed deadline isn't what you think it is → **"WHY DOES MY HEART FEEL SICK OVER THIS?"** Hope deferred isn't about the waiting. It's about something you've been doing while you wait, and you can stop today If you've been building for years and the disappointment has gotten loud, this one's for you.
