She's on Fire
When you're not supported
Have you ever shared your big business dreams only to be met with blank stares or doubt? That disconnect can sting, but here's the truth: your vision wasn't given to them—it was given to YOU.
As women building online businesses, we often navigate a lonely path when our immediate circles don't understand our ambitions. Those well-meaning but discouraging questions like "Are you sure about this?" or "Is there any money in that?" can chip away at our confidence. But what if I told you that building a powerful support system changes everything?
Let's dive in and figure out how you can feel supported.

All right, hey there, my gorgeous souls. Welcome back to the she's on Fire podcast. I'm your host, jen Gaines, and today we're diving into a topic that so many of you have shared with me creating a powerful support system for yourself, even when no one in your immediate life supports what you do. And, believe me, I feel that I really really do. All right, so let's be real about this Stepping out into the online business world, especially as women can feel lonely. Right, it can. You're ready to be bold, visible and build a business that gives you freedom. But when the people around you don't get it, it can be a mess, right, it can mess with your mind, it can mess with your confidence, but guess what? I'm here to remind you that you don't need permission from anyone to chase your dreams. I really want you to feel that, so let's talk about how you can build a support system that really fuels your fire. So what do you do when your circle doesn't get your vision? Have you ever shared your big dreams with friends or family, only to be met with blank stares, skepticism or maybe silence? I've been there, I know, and I know so many of my clients and others in my community have been too, and it really can sting. But here's what I want you to know. Here's what I want you to know your vision wasn't given to them. It was given to you. It's okay if they don't understand. You got to let it go, all right, they don't have to understand. What matters is that you believe in it. So that's what building a support system can help you do. That's why building a support system is a non-negotiable Because when you're building something bold, something out of the ordinary, you need voices around you saying yes, you can go get it. Yes, you can do it, instead of are you sure you want to do that? Are you sure about it? Is there any money in that? You know what I mean. And sometimes those voices the good ones not saying that people that are saying the other stuff to you are bad ones, but the good voices that we want to hear aren't going to be in your immediate circle. But that's okay, because we live in an incredible time where we can connect with the right people online throughout the entire world people online throughout the entire world. I have friends in other countries, on other continents, that I have never met in person, and we are good friends and they've helped me so many times. I have friends in other states that I've never met, so building this circle is really so important. All right, so let me tell you, I would not be where I am today without online communities, and this is a fact.
Speaker 1:Okay, social media is more than just a place to scroll. It's more than just sitting there and watching funny TikTok videos. You know this, but I really want to dive into this to make you understand, especially if you have people in your ear who don't believe in you. If you have people in your ear who don't believe in you, it's really where you can find your tribe the women who get you, who get what you're doing, who understand how much you want it, the ones who understand the late nights, the fear of going live and the dream of creating a business that brings you freedom. This is why I created my she's On Fire community. You know, it's not just the Facebook group, it's not just the podcast, it's everything together. It's not just the podcast, it's everything together, not just my programs, it's everything, because you shouldn't have to do this stuff alone. This community is for women like you, ready to break through fears, have big conversations, you know, in-depth conversations about building businesses about celebrating wins. My community I really should say our community, because it's not just about me, right? It's a place to connect and get support and be surrounded by women who believe in big dreams. It really is. It really is. My absolute passion is creating these ripple effects and creating such a big impact in this world, in women's lives, in their families' lives and I know that's yours too, and that's why you're here. That's why you started a business. No matter what your business is, you did it for a reason, and we're going to be opening the door soon to a really cool retreat, and so I want you to get on the wait list for it, because it is going to be amazing. You want to be in this room, I'm telling you, because when you surround yourself with fire, when you surround yourself with women who are ready to pour gasoline on that fire, your spark turns into a blaze. It really does. So I want to make sure you get on the wait list. So keep listening, because I'm going to tell you at the end of this how to do that.
Speaker 1:Um, there is power in in-person events. Now, I've always said you don't have to go away to an in-person event to be successful, all right. I've always said that and I still believe that. However, every time that I have gone to an in-person event, I have become even more successful, and there's a reason for it. Something changes the game in these events, all right. In these events, all right.
Speaker 1:Again, you do not need to go to an in-person event in order to build a successful business. I don't believe that. I even have a blog post about it. You can absolutely crush it from the comfort of your home, 100%, your phone, your laptop that's all you need.
Speaker 1:But but if you can do it, if you get the chance to be in a room with women who, who are going after big things, who are want the big goals, who really want to break through and make an impact and talk on a different level than just small talk, it's unbelievable. The energy, the breakthroughs, the connections. It's unmatched being in a space where everyone is dreaming bigger, pushing harder and lifting each other up. It is honest to God, it's like fuel for your soul. It's amazing. You leave knowing you're not crazy for wanting more. You realize there's a whole world of women chasing the same freedom, that you are harnessing that freedom.
Speaker 1:So that's why I'm doing another she's on Fire retreat, and it's going to be bigger. I did one a few years ago and I can't even tell you how amazing it was. And then I've gone to events and retreats since then myself and it's just such. It's a magical experience. That's the only way that I can explain it. So this retreat this she's on fire retreat this is where we are going to get to step into our boldest selves together. We're going to be talking personal branding, storytelling, breaking out of our comfort cocoons, all of it.
Speaker 1:So I want you to imagine what you could do with a weekend of pure support, connection and fiery energy, with women who are all wanting and doing the same thing. It is going to be off the charts, amazing, and it's in June. There'll be more information coming out on it, all right, in the next month, but get on the wait list. I'm telling you right now. There is a reason why you're going to be on the wait list. That will be announced soon. Get on the wait list now, don't wait. I'm going to put it the uh link in the show notes, so make sure you get your name on it. This will be the event that shifts everything for you. All right, in the show notes. Make sure that you go there and you put your name in your email, your phone number. That's all we need. All right, before we wrap up.
Speaker 1:I want to remind you of this. Before we wrap up, I want to remind you of this. You were not made to shrink to make others comfortable. I see this a lot. Your dreams are valid, your vision is real and even if no one around you believes in you right now, you know what do, and there's a hundred other women out there that will believe in you too. Thousands. This community believes in you and you will find your people when you keep stepping forward. So don't wait for approval. Build your support system, join communities that light you the F up and if you can step into those rooms where the energy matches your ambition, it's so important. She's on fire. Community is waiting for you on fire. Community is waiting for you. The she's on fire retreat is calling your name. No-transcript.
