Episode 11—How to Tell If You’re Building Someone Else’s Business (And What To Do About It)
EPISODE: 11
ARE YOU BUILDING A BUSINESS THAT ACTUALLY FITS YOU—OR FOLLOWING A MODEL THAT LOOKS GOOD ON THE OUTSIDE BUT DRAINS YOU ON THE INSIDE?
"When your business model doesn’t align with how you naturally create or serve, it shows up everywhere—in your energy, your messaging, and even your day-to-day joy. It’s worth pausing and asking: am I building what I truly want, or what I think I should?"
Ever find yourself chasing a business model that worked for someone else—but leaves you feeling stuck, disconnected, or drained? In this episode of Boldly Introverted – the Online Business Podcast, we’ll explore how to spot when you’ve drifted into someone else’s path—and how to reconnect with what works for YOU.
You’ll walk away with practical ways to tune back in, stay aligned, and build a business that truly fits your strengths, values, and life.
HERE ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
How to recognize when your business is out of alignment
Subtle signals—like resistance to your offers or marketing that doesn’t sound like you—are often signs that you’re following a model that isn’t truly yours.
Why even intentional entrepreneurs fall into this trap
Visibility bias, comparison culture, and our craving for certainty can all pull us toward business models that aren’t the right fit for our strengths or values.
How to realign with what works for you
Simple, powerful ways to reflect on your offers, tune out the noise, and reconnect with your most natural and sustainable way of working.
The role of community in staying aligned
Surrounding yourself with supportive voices makes it so much easier to stay on your own path and resist the constant pull toward the “next big thing.”
INSPIRED ACTION (Optional):
This week, take 10 minutes to reflect:
What parts of your business energize you right now?
Where are you feeling resistance or dread?
Is there any piece you’ve built because it “works for others” but doesn’t feel aligned for you?
