18. You Don't Need to Be an Expert – You Just Need to Be Two Steps Ahead
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever felt like you need to become an expert before you’re allowed to share what you know?
In this episode of The Bold Biz Podcast, Jenny talks about one of the biggest mindset traps that keeps women from starting their side business, the belief that you need years of experience, certifications, or huge results before you can help anyone.
The truth is much simpler.
You don’t need to be ten steps ahead.
You just need to be two steps ahead of someone who is just starting out.
Jenny shares how this realization completely changed how she views teaching, creating content, and building an online business. She explains why the most relatable teachers are often the ones who struggled recently, why waiting to feel “expert enough” keeps you stuck, and how sharing what you’ve learned along the way can become the foundation of a meaningful business.
💡 In this episode, we talk about:
• Why the “expert trap” stops so many women from starting
• Why people relate more to someone a few steps ahead of them
• The power of sharing what you’ve learned in real time
• Why perfection and credentials are not the real barrier
• How your recent struggles can become your most valuable teaching
• Why your second chapter is the perfect time to start building something new
If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, qualified, or experienced enough before putting yourself out there, this episode will help you see why you might already be exactly where you need to be.
