You’ll never feel ready.

Most people tell themselves they need to do more before taking action. 

When in reality...

There is no perfect time. 

If you wait until you feel 100% prepared, you’ll never start. 

Progress comes from doing.

You learn by trying, failing, and adjusting. 

Not by hoping for certainty to appear.

Here’s how you can start moving forward now, even if you don’t feel ready.

Perfection is a trap

One I fell into early and often… 

If you are in this place right now, you are not alone. 

A lot of people wait for perfect conditions. 

And never start. 

Founders hesitate to launch because they think their product or service isn't ready.

When in reality the biggest companies started with far less.

Take Airbnb for example. 

The founders tested the market by renting air mattresses from their homes.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was enough to get started.

Same with Stripe.

They started by pitching people 1:1. 

If you like the product? They asked you to sign up and had you checkout right there.  

This strategy helped them earn their first 100 customers.

Your first version doesn’t need to be perfect. 

Start with what you have and improve from there.

Start small and learn fast.

Have the big vision, but focus on the smallest, simplest version of your idea first. 

If you’re launching a service, put your offer together and share it with your network. 

If you’re creating content, pick one platform and start posting. 

If you’re selling products, build a prototype/demo and give it to someone it could help.

Momentum builds faster when you work in small, iterative steps. 

Every action teaches you something new and moves you closer to what works. 

It’s ok to figure it out as you go.

One of the biggest myths about success is that people have it all figured out before they start. 

They don’t. Rather, they take action and adapt.

The best founders, creators, and leaders all share this ability. 

They start before they’re ready and trust themselves to figure it out. 

Every successful business you admire...

Acted despite their fears.

No one is going to give you permission.

No one tells you when it’s time.

You decide.

You are in control. 

That said…
