EPISODE: 17

Why endless preparation feels safe — and how to trade it for bold, imperfect action that actually moves your business forward.

Confidence isn’t something you wait to feel before acting — it’s something you build through action. Every messy, imperfect step teaches you that you can recover, adjust, and try again. That’s how you grow trust in yourself.

You’ve been telling yourself you’ll launch when you’re “ready.”
When the website is perfect.
When you feel confident.
When the timing is just right.

But what if getting ready has quietly become the thing keeping you stuck?

In this episode of Boldly Introverted – the Online Business Podcast, we’ll talk about how perpetual prep mode masquerades as safety, why it steals more opportunities than it saves, and how to start building real momentum in your business — one bold, imperfect step at a time. If you’ve been waiting for permission, this is your sign to give it to yourself.

HERE ARE THE KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:

Preparation isn’t always progress.
Planning feels productive, but it can easily turn into avoidance. The longer you stay in prep mode, the longer your ideas stay hypothetical instead of making an impact.

Confidence comes from doing.
You don’t need to feel confident before you start — confidence grows through repeated action. Even missteps teach you that you’re capable of adjusting and moving forward.

Perfection delays success.
Done work, even imperfectly done, moves you forward. Perfect work rarely sees the light of day. Learn to embrace “good enough for now” without lowering your standards.

Small moves create big shifts.
Bold action doesn’t have to mean giant leaps. Small, consistent steps compound into significant results over time.

INSPIRED ACTION (Optional):
Pick one thing you’ve been “getting ready” to do — and do it today. No tweaks. No waiting. Just start.
