Why “just do what feels good” is keeping you stuck

Everyone’s moved on from the outdated belief that “you have to hustle 24/7 to succeed” But now, too many women are blindly following the idea that “just do what feels good and everything will magically fall into place” and THAT’S the real problem.

I get it. On the surface, “just follow your gut and do what feels good” feels like the answer.

It seems like a breakthrough because it finally gives you permission to stop hustling, to stop feeling guilty for wanting ease, and to honour your energy. It feels like freedom and who doesn’t want that?

But here’s the catch: without structure, strategy and aligned action, this approach keeps you stuck in inconsistency, overwhelm, and missed opportunities. You may feel “aligned” but your business growth, your income and your impact often lag behind your intentions.

Even though this new approach is a step up from nonstop hustle, it’s still missing a crucial element: clarity and intentional action that actually moves the needle. You need more than feelings, you need a plan that fits your life and priorities.

What Most People Miss

When you rely solely on doing what feels good, here’s what tends to happen:

• You bounce between tasks based on energy or mood, leaving important business goals on the back burner
• You chase shiny ideas that feel exciting in the moment, but don’t actually grow your business
• You end up frustrated because you’re not seeing the results you want, even though you’re “working in alignment”

The reality? Feeling good is important, but it’s not enough to grow a sustainable, thriving business especially when you’re juggling family, clients and life.

The Truth About Results

The people who actually get results don’t just stop at “doing what feels good”. They understand that clarity + aligned action + intentional systems + accountability is what moves the needle.

It’s about knowing your priorities, taking steps that fit your energy and having a roadmap that ensures your business grows while your life doesn’t suffer.

Imagine:

• A business that brings in consistent clients and income
• Mornings where you’re calm and in control, not stressed before school drop off
• Evenings where you actually have time to unwind, connect with your family, or enjoy a quiet cuppa without guilt

This isn’t a dream, it’s exactly what’s possible when you combine aligned action with the right support.

How to Stop Following the Wrong Advice

If you want clients, income and impact while still enjoying your life, you need to stop relying on “just do what feels good” alone. You need to start building a business that works around your life.

Here’s how:

1. Get Clear on Your Priorities
   Know exactly what matters most in your business and life. Your strategy and daily actions should always serve these priorities.
2. Take Aligned Action
   Stop doing random tasks that feel good but don’t move you forward. Focus on what actually grows your business.
3. Create Systems That Support You
   Automate, delegate, and design routines that make your business run without burning you out.
4. Build Accountability and Support
   Growth is easier and faster when you’re supported. Having someone to guide you and keep you on track ensures momentum and consistency.
