You Can’t See What You’re Not Ready For

In partnership with

A few years ago, I had what I now call a “mirror moment.”

You know the kind. When everything feels stuck—your energy, your income, your motivation—and the only thing staring back at you is your own reflection and a pile of unanswered questions.

I remember pacing around my house, frustrated that I wasn’t seeing the results I knew I was capable of. I had skills. I had experience. I had drive.

But despite all of that, nothing seemed to be clicking.

And that’s when it hit me:

It wasn’t that the opportunities weren’t there. It’s that I couldn’t see them.

When You’re Not Developed Enough to Recognize the Door

There’s a saying I love:

But here’s what I’ve learned in this season of my entrepreneurial journey—the teacher has often already appeared. It’s just that most of us aren’t developed enough to recognize them as the teacher.

Sometimes it’s a program.
Sometimes it’s a person.
Sometimes it’s a problem.

But if you haven’t done the inner work—
The mindset work.
The identity shifts.
The soul-deep digging...

Then you’ll scroll right past your next opportunity and not even realize it.

You’ll think,
“Maybe it’s just not my time,”
or worse,
“There must be something wrong with me.”

But really?
You just haven’t grown into the version of you who’s able to see it.

My Season of Misalignment

Before I built my AI Agency I was deep in the network marketing world.

Nineteen years.

It gave me incredible experiences, financial renumeration, relationships, and lessons—but toward the end, something shifted. I felt out of alignment. And yet, I kept grinding, thinking success would come if I just worked harder.

But here’s what I’ve come to realize:

Hard work doesn’t fix misalignment. Clarity does.

And clarity only comes from growth.

For much of that time, I wasn’t mentally, emotionally, or spiritually developed enough to see that what I really craved was ownership, creativity, and a space to build something mine. Not something I had to constantly convince others to commit to.

I thought that was what I wanted…but it truly wasn’t.

It wasn’t until I heavily tapped back in to my personal development—mentorships, books, silent mornings, prayer, reflection—that I started to unlock the truth:

The Truth About “Not Getting a Break”

I speak to so many women who feel like they’re doing all the right things, but nothing’s shifting.

They’re:

• Posting content consistently

• Listening to podcasts

• Taking courses

• Praying for breakthroughs

But it’s like everything keeps missing them by just an inch.

Here’s what I tell them:
You’re not being punished. You’re being prepared.

Preparation happens in the dark.

It’s in the journaling.
It’s in the inner healing.
It’s in the boundaries you’re learning to hold.
It’s in the confidence you’re rebuilding.

And until those parts of you are ready, the doors won’t open—because the version of you that walks through them wouldn’t be able to handle what’s on the other side.

This isn’t meant to discourage you. It’s meant to empower you.

Because when you know the delay isn’t denial, but development…
You stop resenting the process and start leaning into it.

How I Started Seeing the Opportunities That Were Always There

Once I committed to my personal growth, it’s like someone wiped the fog off my windshield.

• I saw how AI wasn’t just a trend—it was a tool that could change lives.

• I realized that business owners didn’t need “more content”—they needed real solutions.

• I noticed that the very skills I’d developed in network marketing—relationship building, automation, speaking—were superpowers in the B2B space.

And guess what? None of those things just appeared.
They were always there.

But I needed to grow into the woman who could see them.

The same is true for you.

Three Action Steps to See What You’ve Been Missing

If you’re reading this and feeling like you're in that foggy space, here are 3 simple but powerful action steps to help you develop into the version of you who can see and seize your next level:

1. Audit Your Input

Ask yourself:

• What content am I consuming daily?

• Who am I spending the most time with?

• Am I feeding my mind junk food or nourishment?

Sometimes, the fog isn’t from confusion—it’s from clutter.

Choose inputs that elevate your thinking. That challenge you. That call you up.

2. Do One Hard Inner Thing a Week

Pick one belief, habit, or behavior you know is keeping you stuck—and confront it.

• Set a boundary you’ve been avoiding.

• Journal on a fear you’ve been stuffing down.

• Forgive someone (or yourself).

Growth doesn’t happen by accident. It happens by intention.

3. Create a Personal Growth Ritual

Even 15 minutes a day can be transformative.

Try this:

• 5 minutes: gratitude journaling

• 5 minutes: visualizing your future self

• 5 minutes: consuming something high-level (podcast, book, prayer, etc.)

Do it before the scroll.
Do it before the distractions.
Start your day as the version of you who’s ready to recognize what’s meant for her.

Final Thoughts: The Breakthrough Isn’t Coming. It’s Already Here.

Here’s the truth I want you to walk away with:

You’re not broken. You’re becoming.

If things feel unclear, misaligned, or just not working… take a step back.

Not to quit.

But to reflect, refocus, and recommit to your growth.

Because the path to your next big opportunity doesn’t start with doing more.

It starts with seeing more.

And the more you develop, the more undeniable your breakthrough becomes.

Let’s keep growing together, sis. The doors are already there. Let’s make sure you’re ready to walk through them.
