Summary

We will learn: How to recognize which of your ideas are worth pursuing and when timing is right The practical first steps to move from idea to action, even if you're starting from zero Why "failing" might be exactly what you need to succeed, and how to use setbacks as stepping stones What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't what you think it is? What if it's not your lack of experience, or connections, or even money – but the simple act of not starting? This episode is a little bit different. While I love diving deep into spirituality and mindset work, sometimes what we really need is just a practical roadmap for turning our dreams into reality. Because at the end of the day, all the inner work in the world won't matter if we don't know how to take that first step. Today we're talking with someone who understands this journey intimately. Daryl Schwartz isn't just an entrepreneur – he's a serial entrepreneur who's turned multiple ideas into reality, including his latest venture, GoodBar. And what makes his story particularly valuable is that it wasn't always smooth sailing. He's dealt with timing issues, pivots, and those moments where you have to decide whether to keep pushing or let go.

0:00.0	What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't what you think it is?
0:07.0	What if it's not your lack of experience or connections or even money?
0:12.0	But the simple act of not starting.
0:16.0	I spent years letting ideas build up in my mind like a damn about to burst.
0:21.8	I had visions of businesses I wanted to create, projects I wanted to launch, changes I wanted
0:27.3	to make in the world.
0:29.0	But instead of taking that first step, I'd spend hours researching, planning, and dreaming,
0:35.3	or just forgetting about it all and watching Netflix, without ever actually
0:39.5	doing anything about it.
0:41.8	Well, here's what I didn't realize at the time.
0:44.9	By not taking action, I wasn't just standing still, I was actually moving backward.
0:51.4	So every time I talked myself out of starting, every time I convinced myself that I needed
0:56.6	to learn more first, every time I told myself someday, I was actively building a belief that I wasn't
1:03.9	the type of person who takes action, that my ideas weren't worth pursuing, that I wasn't ready.
1:11.4	And the cruel irony?
1:13.3	The longer I waited, the bigger and more overwhelming all of these ideas became in my mind.
1:19.1	So they ended up turning from exciting possibilities into these looming mountains of uncertainty.
1:26.2	I'd lie awake at night thinking about all the pieces I needed to
1:28.9	figure out, all the things that could go wrong, all the reasons why now wasn't the right time.
1:35.6	And then one day, almost by accident, I did something that changed everything. I started writing
1:41.7	my ideas down, and not in a pretty organized way, just messy notes on paper,
1:48.3	getting it out of my brain, and something fascinating happened.
