<h3>Vision Will Break You (If You Let Fear Win)</h3><p>In this special solo session of the EntreArchitect Podcast, Mark R. LePage dives into the powerful intersection of vision, growth, and fear. Fear often shadows our boldest dreams, not as a warning sign, but as a companion to growth and transformation.</p><p>Small firm architects can reframe fear—not as something to avoid, but as evidence that you’re stepping into something meaningful. True vision isn’t about checklists or goals, but that gut-level knowing of the life and business you’re meant to build. Growth is messy, unpredictable, and uncomfortable—and that’s exactly how you know it’s working.</p><p>Perfectionism might serve you in your design work, but in business, it can hold you back. Instead, let fear act as a compass pointing toward your edge.</p><p>Tune in for an honest, empowering invitation to embrace discomfort, dream bigger, and lead with courage. </p><p><strong>This week at EntreArchitect Podcast Solo Sessions, Vision Will Break You (If You Let Fear Win).</strong></p><h3>Please visit Our Platform Sponsors</h3><p><strong>Arcatemy</strong> is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.
