Why you don’t feel ready
Summary
- The biggest lie we tell ourselves is that we need to feel ready before we act. This is wrong. Action creates clarity, not the other way around.
- Of course, you don't feel ready because you haven't done it before. Do the thing first, and clarity will follow.
- Waiting to feel ready is a trap. It keeps you stuck and stops you from moving forward.
- Understand that feeling unsure is normal. Everyone feels this way at first, but they keep going, and that's how progress happens.
- Take small steps even if you feel scared. Acting before you're ready helps you learn and grow.
- Remember, clarity and confidence come from taking action and learning from your experiences.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a mindset shift first. Realize that waiting to feel ready is just holding you back. It’s important to understand that clarity comes from doing, not thinking. So step into action even if you're scared or unsure.
A good way of doing this is by breaking down your goals into small, manageable steps. This makes the process feel less overwhelming. For example, if you want to start a business, begin by researching your market or reaching out to potential customers for feedback. These are low-cost and high-value actions.
Understand that feeling unsure is normal. Everyone who’s tried something new has felt this way. Take comfort in knowing it’s a shared experience and part of the growth process. You’re not alone, and you’re doing the right thing by moving forward despite the fear.
Remember, progress doesn’t mean you won’t make mistakes. It means learning from those mistakes and adjusting your path. Each small step taken helps build your confidence and gives you more clarity on what works and what doesn’t.
Finally, celebrate small wins. This reinforces positive behavior and makes you more inclined to take further action. By consistently acting, you keep learning and evolving, bringing you closer to your goals with each step.
