You know that Dr. Seuss book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"? There's a bit in there about "The Waiting Place" that really nails what so many of us do, especially when we're thinking about starting a business or making a big leap. We get stuck waiting for the perfect moment, the right skill set, or for all the stars to align. Today, I'm diving into why that waiting game is so detrimental and why the discomfort of not trying often outweighs the fear of failing. Are you waiting, or are you just scared? Let's talk about getting out of that "Waiting Place" and into action.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  • Waiting for the "perfect time" to start something is often an excuse driven by the fear of failure.
  • The regret of not trying at all is far worse than the potential embarrassment or failure of giving it a shot.
  • Action is the antidote to waiting; you have to take steps forward even if you're scared.

🧠 Pro Tip:

  • Ask yourself honestly: What are you really waiting for? If it's more about fear than a concrete, solvable obstacle, it's time to stop waiting and start acting.
