Starting now

There’s never going to be a perfect time to start. You can tell yourself that you’re getting everything set up, everything prepared, everything just perfect, so you can be assured of your ultimate success. You can convince yourself that you’ll be ready after the next task that you believe is absolutely essential.
 
That’s not the way life actually works. There’s always going to be that one more thing that you could do. There’s always another online seminar that will improve your marketing strategy before launching your business. There’s always going to be that “one more thing” no matter what you’re wanting to do.
 
The only real secret in all of this is that you just have to start right now with what you have. You will learn as you go and make improvements along the way. You will perfect your work as you do the work.
 
I think the part of us that keeps postponing what makes us feels uncomfortable is just trying to protect us from failure, from pain, and from disappointment. However, it’s by pushing out of our comfort zones and into those uncomfortable moments that we can have tremendous breakthroughs.
 
Do wait until you have everything figured out. Don’t be reckless, but don’t keep waiting for the perfect day. Just start, now, somewhere. There’s always something you can do in the pursuit of your dreamlife. Start small. Start where you are. You may just be amazed how far you get before you feel you’re even ready for it.
 
Just to be clear… this is also a reminder to myself.
