Lol,
You’re pouring time, energy, and soul into your online business.
You’re learning, trying, testing. But deep down, something still feels off… like you're missing that one thing that could unlock your momentum.
Howard Schultz once felt the exact same way.
Before Starbucks became the global coffee brand we all know, it was a small shop in Seattle selling beans and equipment - no lattes, no seating, no experience.
Howard was just a young marketing guy working for a kitchenware company when he stumbled upon the store.
Something clicked. But not clearly.
He didn’t have a full vision. He just had a feeling.
A feeling that coffee could be more than just a beverage, it could be a ritual. A community. An experience.
When he pitched his idea for turning Starbucks into an espresso bar like those in Italy, the original owners said no. Repeatedly.
So he started his own coffee shop, failed, fought, borrowed money, and eventually bought Starbucks himself.
Today, Starbucks is worth over $100 billion.
But the success didn’t come from certainty.
It came from listening to that tiny voice inside that whispered, “There’s more here.”
So if you’re building and wondering:
“What am I not seeing?”
“What’s holding me back?”
“Am I missing something… or just close to a breakthrough?”
Let this be your reminder:
✨ Sometimes what’s missing isn’t strategy - it’s stillness to reconnect with your vision.
✨ Sometimes it’s support or systems you haven’t yet found.
✨ And sometimes… it’s just belief.
Belief that you’re not behind.
That you’re not failing.
That your instincts matter. Because they do.
You’re not meant to copy someone else’s path.
You’re here to build your own - and there’s no roadmap for that kind of magic.
Keep going. The breakthrough you’re chasing might just be one decision away.
