Start before you’re ready.

Seriously. Stop waiting. Start moving.

I know the trap.Waiting for the right moment.The perfect plan.One more book. One more podcast.Been there.

But let’s be real—“ready” is a myth.There’s always one more reason to wait.

I’ve stalled myself with doubt.Told myself I needed more credentials, more clarity, more time.All it did? Kept me stuck.

Waiting is just fear dressed up as strategy.It’s clever.But it’s still fear.

When I launched Sparked, I wasn’t ready. I was scared out of my mind.

* Too late?

* Too messy?

* Who do I think I am?

But I did it anyway.Because waiting wasn’t working. Here’s what I know:Messy action builds confidence.The first step is the strategy.

* So make the call.

* Send the email.

* Pitch the idea.

* Try the thing.

No, it won’t be perfect.But neither is staying stuck.
