Start Before You’re Ready: The Truth About Taking the First Step

One of the women I’m mentoring said something recently that hit me in the gut, in a good way.

Right after our coaching session, I sent her a 60-day content plan tailored specifically for her brand, her voice, and her goals. It wasn’t just a one-size-fits-all strategy. It was built for her. She felt good about it, she really did. But then she sent me a message and said:

“I don’t know what I’m doing.”

But listen, it wasn’t the kind of “I don’t know what I’m doing” that leads to quitting. It wasn’t defeat. It was the opposite. It was a battle cry.

Here’s what had just happened:

1. She had just bought a high-quality tripod, because she knew she needed to start recording her workouts and nutrition videos.

2. She had invested in herself by paying for the coaching.

3. She realized that the example video I sent her wasn’t something I was going to edit for her. She’d have to do it herself.

She took all that in… and still said, “I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m doing it anyway.”

That’s courage.

That’s what this journey requires.

She said, “I see it. I see that women need this. I want to show up for them, regardless.”

You see, when we come to the realization that we’re supposed to be doing something, but then keep making excuses not to start, eventually those excuses stop working.

“I don’t know what I’m doing” isn’t a reason to stop. It’s a reminder that you’re at the starting line.

Everybody starts there. Nobody shows up an expert.

You’ve got to move anyway. You’ve got to show up anyway.

That woman is going to change lives, not because she knew everything when she started, but because she started anyway.

And you?

You’ve got too much in you to let fear or uncertainty stop you.
