When “Not Working” Is Working for You: Intuition, Timing, and Protecting Your Business

This week on Visionary Blueprint, Nichole, Kacey, and Chelsea get real about a tough call that turned into a blessing: postponing their September VIP Day. Despite doing everything “right” (press coverage, affiliates, speakers, pricing, and promotion), registrations weren’t matching expectations—then an email arrived two days before the event: the venue could no longer host.  What felt like a setback became undeniable proof: sometimes “not working” is protection.

Inside the episode:

• Rejection as redirection: how to interpret slow results without making it mean your offer or business is broken

• Intuition + action: the difference between feeling a “no” and actually moving on it in time to avoid a crisis

• Owner accountability: knowing when results lag because of execution vs. timing (and how to tell the difference)

• Risk management for events: why written agreements matter (even for trades), how to protect cash flow, vendors, and sponsors

• Mindset that scales: “Everything is always working out for me” as a decision-making filter—not magical thinking

• Personal proof story: Chelsea’s move to Charlotte and how creating her own opportunity changed everything

🎟 New date announced: CEO Day — January 17 (12–4 PM) at Lenny Boy, Charlotte, with a post-event happy hour in the taproom. This is not a sit-and-listen conference—it's a work-on-your-business day. Learn from top experts, then sit down with them to apply it immediately. Bring your laptop, notebook, and active projects.
