I'm not ready yet

A few weeks ago, I didn’t feel ready to start my blog. Me? Writing? That sounded like a job for some later, more confident version of myself. And the side project I’ve been working on? I kept telling myself I needed to fine-tune it a bit more. Just one more improvement. Then another. Then another. Always waiting for the “right moment.”

But really, I was doing what most of us do: holding back.

Not starting the project you’ve been thinking about for weeks, months, maybe even years. Not sharing your work. Not posting anything because it doesn’t feel like the right time yet.

We all know this feeling.

But here’s the truth: you don’t need to be ready. You just need to start. You have to act before your brain talks you out of it. If I could give you one piece of advice about creating or building something, it’s this: just start.

You already have an idea in mind. So write a single note to yourself: “Today I’m starting with my project (…). This is step one” - and just like that, you’ve taken action. A tiny step, yes, but the most important one. You acted before hesitation took over.

Once you’ve started, say, by writing down a few bullet points, use the momentum. Keep the steps small. Let it be simple at first. Come back the next day and improve it. Delete. Edit. Add. Shape it slowly. Write a short vision. Do a quick sketch. Create a rough to-do list. Build a tiny proof-of-concept. It doesn’t matter how small the step is.

What matters is that you keep moving.

You’re already on the right path.
