You Prolong Success Every Time You Delay Starting

Aug 4, 2025

Is perfection a thing? Of course not. It doesn’t even matter how old you are,  you know your entire life you’ve never done anything perfectly, and you won’t. You’re human. Anything that you set out to do will come with failure, and if you can accept that at this point in your life, then you’ll just get started. Because every day that you put something off, every day you procrastinate, you’re not avoiding failure, you’re just prolonging getting better at the thing.

Let’s be real , some things just take time.

If you’re a parent, or even if you’ve got a little cousin, niece, or nephew, then you’ve probably seen them go through the walking phase. They fall a lot. Then they get to the stage where they start holding on to things , walking along the coffee table, until one day they just get it. They moving. They going. That’s how everything in life is. It’s gonna be shaky at first.

I’ve got a client that just started doing live shoppin,  she went live on both Facebook and Instagram, on the same day. When I saw that, I was like: yes sir! I was super proud of her. That’s what I’m talking about. That “I’m showing up regardless” attitude.

Now look, she didn’t sell anything that day, and she was a little bummed. But I had to remind her: that’s part of it. That’s what comes with showing up. The first time, the second time m,  sometimes even the tenth time. But she did the hard part. She showed up. And now it’s just about staying consistent. Getting better. Getting more comfortable in front of that camera.

I told her if she starts posting in between those lives, talking to her audience about why she started this brand, what she’s been through, some stories from the vendor road, people will connect. And eventually, when she shows up on those lives agai,  her people will be there.

So let me leave you with this:

When we prolong failure, we prolong success.

And there’s no path to success without failure in it.

Show up anyway.

Do it anyway.

Keep going.
