Check out last week’s newsletter: Hidden Struggles of High Achievers

Don’t Wait For Perfect

Let’s talk about that thing you keep putting off.

The podcast.
The YouTube channel.
The idea you wrote in a notebook 3 years ago and never looked at again.

You keep saying it’s not ready.
You’re not ready.
You want it to be perfect.

But here’s the thing:

Perfect doesn’t get results. Starting does. 

Done is better than perfect!

Maybe you’ve had the vision for a few years

You’ve got the tools.

Maybe you created the LLC.

But you didn’t launch it? This week’s guest has a similar story of delaying starting.

Here’s what changed:

She gave herself grace.
She stopped waiting for the perfect setup and just hit record.
Now? She’s:

• Hosting panels in Dallas and Atlanta

• Being invited to speak on STEM platforms

• Getting DMs from people across the world saying she inspired them to start

And yes—she’s still figuring things out as she goes

BUT.. Done is better than perfect.

She reminded me that failing forward is better than standing still.
And that you don’t need 100K followers or fancy mics to make an impact—you need intention and consistency.

SOOOOO…

Pick that project back up.
Give yourself permission to start messy.
And surround yourself with people who’ll cheer you on while you figure it out.
