So many people sit on a side business idea for months or even years because they think they need the perfect plan before taking the first step.

If you’ve been circling your idea, asking yourself if you’re “ready,” or stuck in research mode, this episode is your reminder that clarity comes from action, not overthinking.

I’m sharing client stories and my own experience of waiting too long to start, along with the practical steps I now guide clients through to move from hesitation into momentum.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why hesitation and self-doubt keep you stuck in the “what ifs”

• How to start small by offering one simple service with skills you already have

• The first concrete steps to test your idea with real feedback instead of procrastinating

• How to identify your first clients and where to find them

• Why consistency, not intensity, is what builds a sustainable side business

If you’ve been sitting on an idea but don’t know where to start, this episode will help you move forward with clarity, strategy, and energy that lasts.

Key Takeaways:

• The first version of your business won’t be the final version, start anyway

• You don’t need a perfect plan, you need one clear step

• Testing with real people builds clarity faster than more research

• Consistency is what creates momentum
