Summary
How many times have you told yourself you’re not ready? Not ready to launch the business. Not ready to speak up. Not ready to take that next step.
But what if ‘not ready’ is just fear wearing a mask? What if the very moment you’re hesitating to step into… is the one that could change everything?
In this episode, I want to challenge the belief that you have to feel ready to be used — because if you keep waiting for the perfect moment, you’ll miss the one that’s already in front of you.
