“Waiting until you’re ready” is just fear in a bathrobe
Readiness is a lie your comfort zone whispers when it's scared of your potential.
The myth of readiness
Let’s be clear: you’re never going to feel ready.
Not to start the project. Not to send the email. Not to ask the question. Not to take the risk.
Readiness isn’t a green light. It’s a mirage – a convenient delay button dressed up as wisdom.
You keep waiting for readiness like it’s Amazon Prime. It’s not coming.
And deep down, you already know that.
Why you cling to "not ready"
Because it lets you off the hook.
If you’re “not ready,” you don’t have to act.
If you’re “not ready,” you can’t be blamed.
If you’re “not ready,” failure isn’t your fault – it’s fate’s fault.
But here’s the slap: readiness isn’t protection. It’s paralysis.
It’s a padded cell that feels responsible but reeks of fear.
The truth about the people who go
The ones who launch, leap, write, speak, move – they weren’t ready either.
They just stopped pretending that mattered.
They chose movement over mood. Direction over doubt. Courage over comfort.
They didn’t wait to feel qualified – they got qualified by going.
And so will you. If you stop waiting for your ego’s permission slip.
“But what if I fail?”
You will. Sometimes. And guess what? That’s fine.
Failure isn’t the end. It’s how you learn the shape of your limits – and how to break them.
Waiting for perfection is just choosing the illusion of safety over the reality of growth.
Newsflash: nobody who matters is watching as closely as you think. Fail loudly.
How to crush the readiness addiction
1. Set a launch date before you feel ready.
Make it public. Make it real. Burn the fallback plan.
2. Take action that scares you – daily.
One cold email. One awkward ask. One unfinished post. Do it anyway.
3. Reward execution, not outcome.
Show up = win. Publish = win. Move = win. Everything else is noise.
4. Create a “done” wall.
Track every leap you take. Watch the wall grow. That’s your real résumé.
Final slap
Ready is a myth. It’s just fear with a flattering filter.
You don’t need to be confident. You don’t need to be certain. You need to act.
If you’re looking for a sign – it’s whatever you just read.
