The trick to succeeding quickly
The only thing standing between you and the result you want is the action you haven't yet taken.
Why you arenβt taking action
You're waiting to feel "ready."
Which (let's be honest, cause we're friends and we tell each other the truth) means you really just want to know it's going to work out.
And you want to know it's going to work out because you don't trust that your brain isn't going to be a complete butthole about anything less than perfection. (But that's a different blog post)
How to succeed quickly
I think there's nothing that will stall you out faster than waiting to feel ready.
And there's nothing that will make you grow faster than taking imperfect action.
So instead of waiting to feel "ready," you can choose to feel brave.
Take a step.
Create a result (aka - MAKE PROGRESS)
Evaluate it without being a butthead to yourself.
Then take another step.
Until you reach your destination.
OR you can sit on the couch and do some more googling ;)
Every messy, imperfect action you take has you lapping everyone who's "thinking about it" and "waiting to feel ready."
From feeling lost to being featured in the New York Times
When Tirzah hired me last May, she was overworked and underpaid.
And she didn't know what to do.
She didn't feel ready to hire a coach. But she did it anyway.
She didn't feel ready to start a business. But she did it anyway.
She didn't feel ready to publish her website or post online. She did it anyway.
Tirzah chose to feel brave [and annoyed with me :) ] over feeling ready.
And in less than 12 months she quit her job, launched a business, and got fully booked.
But she says it better than me (click to watch this 1-minute video):
