Firestarter started in the line at a Rite Aid pharmacy.

It took a lot of courage, but I tapped a stranger on the shoulder, handed her my homemade business card, and a couple of days later she called. That moment became the seeds of everything I built.

Fake it till you make it has a bad rap, but for me it has never been about faking. It's about taking action before you feel ready, because action creates clarity. I've learned so much more by actually doing the thing than I ever would have by waiting for the perfect plan.

Every time you act, you build the muscle, and slowly the identity you're stepping into starts to feel natural. Underneath all of it is belief. Believing in what you're building is part of what creates the becoming.

Action creates clarity. So many people get paralyzed waiting for the perfect plan, but we learn so much more by actually taking action.

Showing up every day at a public radio internship is what showed me I didn't actually want to work in public radio.

Fake it till you make it has a bad rap, but it has been absolutely essential to my path.

For me, it's not about faking. It's about taking action until it starts to feel natural in the identity you're stepping into. And spoiler alert, we're always faking it till we make it.

What a whirlwind 24 hours. Multiple podcast interviews for @broadcastyourauthority & @firestarter.podcast, caviar, private hangars, and a beautiful sanctuary with fabulous dinner. It’s proof that with the right people, you can accomplish the right things in very little time, and find something to be grateful for in every moment. @willakammerer, thank you for joining the experience. ✈️🙏🎥 taken in Dallas, Texas by @willakammerer

For years, I did everything myself, and I knew it had a ceiling.

Now my vision is simple: build a team where each person spends most of their time in their zone of genius, instead of everyone swimming around in the middle as generalists.

Here’s what I mean — ⁣
⁣
The logistics of being a single mom who travels for work are a little extra, I won’t pretend otherwise.⁣
⁣
But I stand by what I believe — I can do it all. Have it all. On my terms. In my way.⁣
⁣
Because the obstacle isn’t in the way. The obstacle IS the way.⁣
⁣
Being a single-mom entrepreneur has made me:⁣
⁣
More focused in business. More present as a mom. More creative when the puzzle has to click. More grateful for the village I’ve built. More empathetic to every person navigating a life they didn’t fully plan — and still choosing to honor their calling.⁣
⁣
I never thought this would be my path. But here’s what I know now — it’s actually my superpower:⁣
⁣
Full responsibility.⁣
⁣
Full flexibility.⁣
⁣
Creating my own model.⁣
⁣
My son has grown up watching his mom go after it — and feeling her love him deeply at the same time. He has flexibility and flow because this is his normal. Just us since 8 months old. His dad lives a plane ride away.⁣
⁣
Those two things can coexist. Honoring myself. Honoring him. Honoring my path. That’s our path.⁣
⁣
So this is your permission slip — if you’ve been waiting for one.⁣
⁣
Ditch the mom guilt.⁣
⁣
The woman who chases her calling is modeling exactly what she hopes her children will one day be brave enough to do themselves. 🔥⁣

Finally having help can make you forget the most important part of delegating.

Delegation is not abdication of responsibility. It takes context, clear expectations, and real follow-through. If you got burned once, it's a muscle worth building again.

In those early years, I learned a lot, but it was also pretty lonely.

Businesses are meant to evolve, and they need different things in different seasons. The team that got you here may not be the team that takes you to the next level.

Take your time bringing that support in, so you can create the circumstances for it to be as effective as possible.

Running a business can feel lonely, even with a big team around you.

@christinablissmer jokes that she's here to crash the party sometimes, saying that's a great idea, but not right now. Having a right-hand person who is just as passionate about the vision means you don't feel as lonely as a founder.
