Technology is supposed to make running an online business easier, but what happens when the landing page will not publish, the payment button stops working, the email automation goes rogue, or the Zoom link fails five minutes before a client call? For spiritual entrepreneurs, tech frustration can quickly become more than a technical problem. It can trigger fears about money, visibility, competence, control, and even whether we are truly cut out for entrepreneurship.
In this episode of the Money Lighthouse Podcast for Spiritual Entrepreneurs, Michel Ai Reavis shares a practical, step-by-step process for troubleshooting technology without allowing one frustrating glitch to consume the entire day. She explores why tech problems can feel so emotionally charged, how stress can make problem-solving more difficult, and why knowing when to stop troubleshooting is just as important as knowing what to try next.
Michel also introduces a simple mindset practice for those moments when the problem cannot immediately be solved: “It is good for now. I have done what I can do. Everything else is out of my control, and I can be okay with that, for now.” Rather than giving up or spiritually bypassing a real problem, this practice is about learning the difference between responsibility and control. It is about doing what is yours to do, asking for help when needed, and then releasing your grip on the outcome so you can protect your peace, your energy, and your ability to keep moving forward.
Action Steps- Create your personal tech troubleshooting checklist. Write down the basic steps you can follow whenever something goes wrong: pause, define the problem, check the obvious fixes, capture error messages, search the platform's help resources, and make only one change at a time.
- Give troubleshooting a time limit. Decide how long you are willing to troubleshoot something on your own before reaching out for support. Protecting three hours of your energy may be far more valuable than proving you can solve the problem yourself.
- Create a backup plan for your most important systems. Consider what you would do if your payment link, booking system, video platform, website, or email system suddenly stopped working. A simple Plan B can transform an emergency into an inconvenience.
- Practice effort followed by release. Once you have genuinely done what you can, remind yourself: “It is good for now. I have done what I can do. Everything else is out of my control, and I can be okay with that, for now. I am prioritizing my peace over perfection.”
Journaling Prompts
- What story do I tend to tell myself when technology goes wrong? Does a simple technical problem become evidence that I am behind, incapable, unlucky, unprofessional, or doing something wrong?
- Where is the line between responsibility and control in my business? What is genuinely mine to handle, and what am I carrying that was never mine to control?
- What would change if I believed that something could be unresolved and I could still be okay? What might become possible if I allowed peace to exist before everything was perfect?
Technology will break sometimes. Platforms will glitch. Links will stop working. Updates will happen at the worst possible moment. None of those things are a reflection of the value of your work or your ability to build a meaningful, prosperous business.
Listen to this episode whenever you need a practical roadmap for dealing with tech frustration, or simply a reminder that you do not have to sacrifice your peace trying to control what cannot be controlled.
