Common Clarity Traps: Why Too Many Ideas Keep You Stalled

Published on: 25th September, 2025

Sometimes the reason you’re not moving forward isn’t because you don’t have enough ideas, it’s because you have too many. Idea overload feels exciting at first, but when you’re juggling five different directions at once, you end up stuck in what I call The Clarity Trap.

In this episode of the DeAndra Jalisa Podcast, I’m breaking down the sneaky ways too many ideas can stall your progress and how to finally break free. I’ll share my own experiences with idea overload—from wanting to launch coaching, content creation, and even a storefront all at once, to what finally helped me create clarity and results.

Here’s what you’ll hear inside:

  • The 4 most common clarity traps keeping entrepreneurs stuck
  • Why “waiting for the perfect idea” is costing you time and momentum
  • How idea-hopping spreads your energy too thin
  • The difference between inspiration and direction (and why one pays your bills)
  • Why some ideas aren’t wrong—they’re just for the wrong season
  • Simple steps to choose one idea and finally move forward with confidence

This episode is your reminder that clarity doesn’t come before action—it comes from action.
