Stop Waiting to Be Ready: Why Messy Action Beats Perfect Planning Every Time
Are you stuck waiting for the “perfect moment” to start your business, create content, or chase your dreams? In this video, I’m revealing the secret that completely transformed my life after 38 years of being a victim
The truth? You’ll NEVER feel ready. And that’s exactly when you need to start.

✨ How to shift from victim mindset to creator consciousness
✨ Why slow progress actually leads to lasting success (and why lottery winners end up unhappy)
✨ The one action you can take THIS WEEK to start building momentum
KEY TOPICS COVERED:
- Victim consciousness vs creator consciousness

MY STORY:
I spent 38 years waiting to feel “ready” - waiting for the right time, the right resources, the right knowledge. Nothing happened. Then I discovered that the path only forms when you start walking it. I began creating content a year ago with terrible audio, bad lighting, and zero skills. But I was willing to look foolish and fail in public because my desire to help others was stronger than my fear.
Now, every video gets better. Every step forward reveals the next step. My RAS started highlighting exactly what I needed when I needed it. The journey is forming as I walk it.
If you’ve been waiting for permission, for perfection, or for the “right time” - this is your sign.
YOUR CHALLENGE:
Take ONE imperfect action this week toward a goal you’ve been putting off. Drop it in the comments below for accountability! When you write it down, you signal to your brain that it’s important.
Remember: A creator says “I’ll figure it out as I go” while a victim says “I’m not ready yet.”
Where will you be a year from now if you start taking messy action TODAY?
COMING UP NEXT: How you already have everything within you that you’ll ever need - perfect for anyone who feels like they’re not smart enough, skilled enough, or “leader material.”
