When the answer isn’t black or white…

This Week's Message...

  • Why waiting for a “perfect yes” could be keeping you stuck right where you are
  • The $XX,XXX decision I made with zero guarantees (and how it led to $17M in revenue)
  • A 3-question framework to make big decisions when the answer isn’t black or white

Dear Entrepreneur,

You’ve been taught that the “right” investment in your business should feel like a clear yes.
The kind where the clouds part, the angels sing, and you know it’s absolutely going to work. 

But here’s the truth—most of the best business decisions you’ll ever make… won’t feel that way (or at least they haven’t for me). 

I learned this in August 2006.
One warm, sunny Sunday, I decided I wanted to be an entrepreneur.
Monday morning, an email popped into my inbox:
“Have you ever thought of starting your own business?” 

It felt like a sign from the universe.
Until it didn’t. 

Because once I started the process, that clear “yes” got murky.
Doubt crept in. Fear moved in. Logic kept whispering all the reasons it might not work. 

It’s like high schoolers being told they must go to college if they want to succeed.
No guarantees, but it’s still positioned as the logical next step. 

So, on December 28, 2006, I stood in front of a $XX,XXX investment I didn’t have…
with zero guarantees. 

And I said yes anyway. 

That one decision led to:
💰 Over $17M in gross revenue
💡 10 years of leadership and growth
🔥 Three years of grueling 80+ hour weeks before I learned how to scale sustainably 

Here’s what I know now:
When the answer isn’t black or white, you need a framework that helps you decide from possibility—not fear. 

My 3-question “Next Step Navigator Framework”: 

  1. If I say yes, will I gain access to the kind of support, knowledge, or opportunities I don’t currently have? 
  2. If I say no, will I still be in the same spot 6–12 months from now? 
  3. Am I willing to do the work to make this decision pay off? 

If you’re losing sleep over a decision in your business right now, maybe it’s time to stop waiting for the “perfect yes” and start moving toward the right next step. 

That’s exactly what we do inside The Legacy Business School—sort through the tough decisions and build a business you can actually scale without burning out. 

You’ll have lifetime access to our private community (7-day-a-week support) and private weekly Power Sessions for your first 90 days so you can get clarity fast.

One simple action step to improve your business this week. 

💡 Use The Next Step Navigator Framework.
Think of one decision you’ve been sitting on for weeks (or months). Write your answers to these three questions:

  1. Will saying yes give me access to support, knowledge, or opportunities I don’t currently have?
  2. If I say no, will I still be in the same spot 6–12 months from now?
  3. Am I willing to do the work to make this decision pay off?

Circle your answers and decide. Clarity comes from action—not more thinking.

I had been struggling with so much overwhelm in my business. I was creating more work for myself and I didn’t have the clarity I needed to know what exactly to be focusing my time and energy on. Having a coaching session with Sailynn was SO helpful! She asked engaging questions about my business and listened so intently to me. I had so many “Ah-Ha” moments during our call together and how everything that I have created in my business lfows and works beautifully together – I just has to come up with a better system for it to work for me better!  Thank you, Sailynn!!” – Jenna, Journaling Coach
