About this listen
Podcast Description:
Are you stuck in endless preparation, constantly refining your course, membership, or coaching program but never hitting publish? This episode exposes the dangerous myth that's keeping talented entrepreneurs trapped in the readiness trap. Discover why the most successful business owners aren't the most prepared—they're the most committed. Learn the three-step framework for launching even when fear is screaming at you to wait, and understand the counterintuitive truth that courage comes before confidence, not after. Through real entrepreneur stories and practical strategies, you'll learn how to move forward with fear instead of waiting for it to disappear.
Episode Description:
Stop waiting to feel ready and start building your business today. This episode reveals why "readiness" is a mirage that keeps you paralyzed in preparation mode while opportunities pass you by. You'll discover the critical difference between being prepared and being committed, why fear is actually a signal rather than a stop sign, and how to reframe your relationship with anxiety so it becomes fuel instead of a barrier. Whether you're launching your first membership, creating an online course, or starting a coaching program, this episode gives you the permission slip to launch imperfectly and succeed anyway.
What You'll Learn:
Why the myth of readiness keeps talented people stuck in endless preparation cycles and how to break free from this trap. The three-step framework for managing fear: naming it to make it visible, shrinking it into manageable micro-steps, and moving with it through action. Real stories from entrepreneurs who launched "too early" with incomplete content and succeeded because authenticity beat perfection. The counterintuitive truth that courage creates confidence, not the other way around. How to distinguish between genuine preparation and fear-based avoidance. The exact questions to ask yourself to determine if you're ready to launch right now.
