Why trying to “do it perfect” is just your excuse to not start.

Are you stuck at the starting line—too busy preparing, too scared to begin—or rerunning past glory that you can’t match? You’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into the two mental traps that hold us back: the discomfort of being a beginner, and the frustration of not immediately regaining former greatness. Whether it’s building a new habit, restarting the gym, launching a project, or repairing a relationship—waiting for perfection is just an illusion that keeps you stuck.

👉 What to expect in this episode:

• A real-talk look at why impatience, comparison, and fear of failure sabotage high performers.

• Our awkward journey—from six months of clunky date nights to the breakthrough that made it feel normal again—as a powerful reminder that imperfect action leads to progress.

• A clear roadmap:

  • Embrace where you really are (base camp, not peak)

  • Lower the bar for entry (small reps matter more than big wins)

  • Track progress—not perfection (tiny wins stack into momentum)

This isn’t about willpower—or how driven you are. It’s about letting go of unrealistic expectations, showing up, and trusting the process. Ready to move forward, no matter how messy? Let’s keep it imperfect—and powerful.
