🚨 FEEL LIKE YOU’RE HOLDING YOURSELF BACK?

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’ll launch it when I feel ready.”

“I’ll raise my price when I feel more confident.”

“I’ll show up online once I’ve figured it all out…”

This episode is your mirror.

🪞 MY STORY

Before I became a Growth Strategist helping 6- and 7-figure founders scale without burnout…

I was living in a tiny flat in Singapore, sleeping on a mattress on the floor, sweating over one email.

No list. No followers. No fancy brand.

Just one question running through my head:

“Can I really do this?”

That email earned me $900. Not life-changing on paper—

but it gave me the proof I needed to begin.

And that courage?

It didn’t just build my confidence.

It built my business.

You don’t need more prep time.

You don’t need more proof.

You don’t even need to feel ready.

You just need to move anchored, not perfect.
