Listen "Ep 31. - Stay Ready or Miss Out"
Episode Synopsis
Don’t Wait to Get Ready – Prepare to Be Ready
Opportunities don’t always announce themselves — they show up suddenly. And the difference between stepping into them or missing out? Preparation.
In this episode, we dive into what it means to live ready, not just hopeful. It’s not enough to want the dream — you have to prepare for it. I share lessons I’ve learned from moments where I missed opportunities because I wasn’t ready — and why now, I choose to stay in preparation mode, even when nothing seems close.
We explore:
Why desire alone isn’t enough — action is what positions you for the opportunity
The power of Abraham Lincoln’s mindset: “I will prepare and someday my chance will come”
The biblical parable of the wise and foolish virgins — and how preparation was the only difference between open doors and missed ones
You’ll also get practical ideas on how to prepare while you wait:
How consistent prayer over your dreams brings clarity, direction, and divine connections (like Oral Roberts' story)
Why developing your skills now — through learning, serving, or seeking mentorship — sets you up for what’s next (think Joanna Gaines before Magnolia)
Remember: You don’t just show up ready. You become ready.
Even the smallest actions today are preparing you for tomorrow.
