How much farther could you be if you stopped waiting for the “perfect” moment and just started?
In this episode, I reflect on my own life and share why waiting for the right time can cost you more than you think.
Let’s break the cycle of perfectionism and discover the powerful momentum that comes from taking action, one imperfect step at a time.
Here are 3 Key Takeaways:
1. Waiting Has a Hidden Cost: When you hesitate, you’re not just missing out on opportunities—you’re piling up missed chances on top of the ones already lost. Opportunity cost stacks up quickly when you’re waiting to be “ready.”
2. Action Beats Preparation: The biggest differentiator between those who achieve their dreams and those who don’t is simple—action. There will never be a perfect time, so moving forward always trumps staying stuck in preparation.
3. Progress Is Made One Step at a Time: You don’t need to leap the whole distance at once. Take baby steps consistently; each small move adds up, and before you know it, the progress will surprise you—just keep moving forward.
