In life, we’re never truly ready.

Ready. Perfect. Fair.

Go get a red pen and cross those words out of your life dictionary.

In life, we’re never truly ready.

We’ll never be perfect.

The game has never been fair. “Everyone starts at zero” is a lie.

So start now. Go with the flow. Enjoy the ride.

Accept your crappy skills. Smile at them.

I just got an email from a client.

She’s a great writer, better than I, honestly.

But she feels like she’s not ready to write on Medium or Substack.

Her email brought me back.

17 months ago, I was scared, too.

I was afraid people would think I was stupid.

I was afraid they’d think I wasn’t good enough.

I was just… afraid.

But I don’t know what came over me. I did it anyway.

My first 100 pieces were garbage. I can say that now.
