You're already her...We build to protect your intimacy.
Hey Founder!
Idk you well enough but for me starting is the easy part; it's exciting and for a few moments people who believe in you cheer you on but what happens when people stop cheering?
UR left with building ur dream in public. Left to get the clients, to move the needle, to see if you really have what it takes to build the vision God gave u.
Doubt tries to creep in and when you seek God you wonder if this is the space to be still or push through the silence.
Balance.
Finding the steadfast pace in the construction zone of a dream.
Building something you've only envisioned by the grace of God, hoping the skills you've learned along the way all meld together perfectly so you can carry the weight and wait well.
Yes both are necessary. It can be heavy carrying a God vision which is why it's crucial to know how to give it back to Him. There is also a wait in the build; knowing when and how to move, because even though He gave it to you... it was never really yours.
Anyways welcome to the Founder Files; a place where I gather my raw thoughts and share with you the strategies and journey of a Founder. I'm sure we'll have similar stories and I can only hope that my vulnerability can make the vision for you more CLEARR.
Here's to Legacy,
April Marie Johnson
