“Ready”

When’s the right time to start?

When you have more experience? More money? More confidence? More followers?

We tell ourselves we’re “not ready” so we can justify waiting. But the truth is, you will never feel fully ready—and that’s the point.

Readiness is a Lie We Tell Ourselves

Waiting to feel ready is one of the most subtle forms of procrastination. It sounds responsible. It sounds logical. But underneath it, there’s fear.

Fear of failing.

Fear of judgment.

Fear of wasting time.

But ask anyone who’s actually done something bold, and they’ll tell you the same thing:

They started before they were ready.

They built while scared.

They learned on the fly.

They figured it out as they went.

And that’s exactly why they succeeded.

You Don’t Need More Time. You Need More Tries.

You think time will make you better prepared. But time doesn’t prepare you—action does.

Each try teaches you more than all the YouTube videos and podcasts combined. Each flop, awkward conversation, or failed launch is a rep. And just like the gym, the only way to get stronger is to keep showing up.

You grow by doing. Not by waiting.

Failure Is the Shortcut

What if failure wasn’t something to fear… but something to use?

Failing quickly means learning faster. It sharpens your instincts, kills perfectionism, and gives you real feedback. The faster you start, the faster you fail—and the faster you succeed.

The Next Step Isn’t Perfect. It’s Possible.

Don’t wait to be perfect.

Don’t wait to feel fearless.

Don’t wait to have all the answers.

Just move.

Start messy.

Launch half-ready.

Post that unfinished idea.

Because being ready isn’t a requirement. It’s a myth.

Because failure isn’t what stops you—it’s what shapes you.

Your move.
