Why Waiting to Feel Ready Holds You Back

Are you waiting to feel ready before you take action?

Let me save you some time — you never will.

That might sound blunt, but it’s one of the most important truths every entrepreneur must come to grips with. The idea that you'll wake up one morning finally “ready” to launch your business, start that product, or take the leap into your dream life? It’s a comforting thought — but it’s a lie.
