I’ve launched podcasts for others, spoken on stages, taught rooms… and still nearly cancelled my own studio day. In this raw kickoff, I share how perfectionism, fear of being seen, and my policing past (where you need 100% certainty) collided; plus the simple mindset shift that got me to press record: the 51% Rule.
What’s inside (no timestamps, just impact)
Why waiting for 100% certainty keeps coaches stuck (and how my police training fed that pattern).
The 51% Rule: what it is and how to use it to launch, sell, or take messy action.
Spotting when you want to quit because it’s scary vs. because it isn’t aligned.
A 10-minute “Rip the Band-Aid” plan to move through perfectionism and hit publish.
Building confidence from evidence (not vibes): tiny wins → Portfolio of Proof.
The messy middle I’m committing to document as I rebuild from zero.
Try this next
Pick one 51% action you can take in the next 24 hours: book the studio, draft a 3-line outline, record a messy first take, or post a “coming soon.” Momentum first, polish later.
