Welcome back product bosses! Have you ever had the thought, “If I change what’s working, I’ll lose everything?” It sounds strategic. Responsible. Smart. But what if it’s actually fear in disguise?

In this episode, I share a coaching conversation with a six-figure product business owner who was afraid that growing her online sales would tank her in-person show revenue. On the surface, it looked logical. But underneath?

Scarcity. I’m walking you through the exact framework I use when fear shows up dressed as responsibility, including the powerful “Then What?” ladder that helps you uncover the real fear beneath your pivot and trust yourself enough to take the next step.

WHAT SCARCITY TAUGHT ME ABOUT LEVELING UP

We’ll talk about the fear that sounds like strategy but isn’t, and why every new level of business requires a mindset upgrade. Scarcity often disguises itself as logic, loyalty, or risk management, especially for high-achieving founders who feel responsible for protecting what they’ve built.

I’ll show you how to use the “Then What?” ladder to uncover what you’re really afraid will happen if you pivot. Because usually, it’s not about losing revenue, it’s about what that loss would mean about you.

We’ll also explore the difference between certainty and self-trust, why your worst-case scenario is often survivable, and how one simple 24-hour sales stretch can create instant breakthroughs and new evidence.

If you’ve been waiting to feel 100% sure before making your next move, this episode will challenge that. You don’t need more certainty. You need deeper self-trust.

And I’ll leave you with one powerful question to reveal your next level: “If I fully trusted myself, what would I do next?”
