003 — Overthinking: The Right Time

In this episode, I dig into the importance of launching and the mindset shift required for successful launches. I get into the boom of launching during the pandemic and the challenges and risks involved. Launching is only valuable if you're doing it and starting small is the ticket to getting it done. Launching small can lead to big impact, and in today's discussion, I get into what it would look like with one simple pivot.

In today's episode, I go deep on the concept of pivoting and the realities of rushing it vs. preparing for it. Not only have I experienced this over + over in business, but in doing so for the companies I worked at. The emphasis on listening to your community, leaving room for learning and adaptation, and putting your ego aside truly allows for the expansion of your business.

In today's episode, I dive into the concept of overthinking potential and how it can hold us back from taking action. Potential can be defined as the perceived future outcome or value of an idea, business, or relationship. But if you look at the facts rather than getting caught up in potential, less time gone, less energy wasted. Evaluate what's in your potential box and determine if it can be moved into the probable. By focusing on facts and making space for what truly has backing, we can free ourselves from the paralysis of potential and take meaningful action.

In today’s episode, I dive into the trap of overthinking the "right" time to take action. Here’s the real deal: waiting for that perfect moment is like waiting for a bus that never shows. Let’s get real about the messy starts and the learning curves. I’m talking about those nerve-wracking jitters, the overload vibes, the high fives of excitement, and yes, even the frustration that pops up when you’re launching something fresh. Ditch that perfectionist energy because it doesn't serve you. There’s no such thing as the perfect time.

EDITOR NOTE: Watch them earlobes yall. The audio went haywire right after the first few seconds so listen on low for a bit. ◡̈ In this episode, we’re diving into the power of giving ourselves permission in creativity. It’s tough, especially for us overthinkers, to allow ourselves to just go for it without the guarantee of financial gain. But here’s the truth: saying yes to our creative impulses can open unexpected doors. So, pick an idea that excites you, commit to it, and let yourself be seen trying and growing. It’s not just about potentially growing a business—it's about expanding as a creator and discovering new opportunities.
