Built by Obedience: What Happens When You Say Yes Without the Blueprint

Every once in a while, you’ll receive a vision that doesn’t come with clear steps or instant confirmation—but something within you knows: this is the next move.

That’s what happened with my client and dear sister in purpose, Lisette Carter.

When we met, Lisette had already walked through deep personal transformation—navigating heartbreak, single motherhood, and rebuilding her life with nothing but her faith and her voice. She had a gift for writing and storytelling, but it wasn’t until she stopped waiting for perfection and acted on what she heard that everything shifted.

What started as a book idea quickly became a business.
And not just any business—a publishing company that’s now giving other authors the freedom, clarity, and ownership Lisette once lacked herself.

She didn’t start with the plan.
She started with obedience.

In our recent Published and Paid® Podcast episode, Lisette shared how she took what felt like a simple nudge—and turned it into a publishing movement. We talked about how she:

• Chose to build in alignment, not fear

• Walked away from a traditional path to create something more impactful

• Used her gifting as a writer, creative, and speaker to generate income and ministry

• Found momentum in the middle of uncertainty

One of the most powerful parts of her journey?
She began sowing into others—even before she was fully established herself. And through that integrity, God honored her obedience and opened doors she couldn’t have scripted.

Lisette’s story is a reminder that you don’t need the full picture to begin building. Sometimes the only thing standing between you and your next level is the decision to trust the nudge and take action.

“When you get a word,” she said, “continuing to ask for confirmation can become a form of disobedience.”

Whew. That’ll stay with you.

So if you’ve been holding back, circling a vision, or overthinking a God idea—this is your moment to realign.

Let Lisette’s story remind you:
You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to be faithful with what you have now.

You were never meant to build like everyone else.
Your path is different. Your process is sacred.
And your yes will activate more than you can imagine.
