254. The First Steps to Inventing & Launching Your Product with Lisa Ascolese

Have you ever had a business idea you couldn't stop thinking about—but fear, overwhelm, or uncertainty kept you from taking the first step?

In this inspiring episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, Angela sits down with inventor, entrepreneur, author, and podcast host Lisa Ascolese, better known as "The Inventress." Lisa has spent decades helping entrepreneurs transform ideas into successful products and businesses, and today she's sharing the mindset, strategy, and encouragement every aspiring entrepreneur needs to hear.

If you've been relying on Google searches, Facebook groups, or endless free advice to figure out your next move, this conversation is your reminder that sometimes the fastest path forward is learning from someone who's already done it.

Lisa shares practical steps for bringing your ideas to life, why waiting for the "perfect time" is holding you back, and how seeking expert guidance can save years of frustration.

Whether you're dreaming of inventing a product, launching a business, or simply stepping into your next level with confidence, this episode will leave you inspired to take action.

In this episode, you'll learn:

✨ How to know if your business or product idea is worth pursuing

✨ The first three steps to turning an idea into reality

✨ Why "Name it and Claim it" is more powerful than you think

✨ The biggest misconceptions about inventing and product development

✨ How motherhood can fuel your entrepreneurial journey

✨ Why expert guidance is more valuable than relying on free online advice

✨ How to stay focused when your business feels overwhelming

✨ Practical mindset strategies to overcome fear and self-doubt

✨ Why visibility is a skill anyone can learn

✨ The importance of taking action instead of waiting for the perfect time

One of my favorite reminders from Lisa is that your idea was given to you for a reason. The world doesn't benefit when we keep our gifts hidden—it benefits when we're willing to take the first step.
