We’ve all heard the saying: “Start before you’re ready.” But how often do we really take that advice to heart? Today’s episode is a little different—and really special—because I’m taking you inside Chapter 15 of my book, How Are You, Really. Grab your copy at http://howareyoureallybook.com!
In this chapter, I dive deep into the fear of starting imperfectly, finding the courage to take that first step toward your dreams, and why taking messy, brave action—despite your doubts—is the secret to growth.
Whether you’re launching a new business, starting a podcast, or pursuing a passion that’s been on your heart, this chapter is all about embracing the imperfection that comes with the journey. And trust me, I know a thing or two about that. Starting this podcast was anything but perfect, but here we are, over 800 episodes later, proof that action creates clarity.

817: Want to Succeed Without Burning Out? Here’s the Real Key
Have you ever stopped to think about how every single decision you make today is either a step toward success or a step away from it? Every choice, no matter how small, compounds over time—and for us entrepreneurs, those choices can mean the difference between realizing our dreams or watching them slip further out of reach.
My guest today, Eric Thomas, knows this truth better than most. As the #1 motivational speaker in the world, and a New York Times best-selling author, he’s a go-to problem solver for some of the world’s biggest corporations, sports franchises, and universities!
Eric’s latest project, the You Owe You 365 Devotional, and the accompanying 30-day challenge at https://youoweyousummit.com/ are all about getting intentional with your daily decisions to put yourself first—because let’s face it, those decisions determine whether or not your dreams become reality.
In today’s conversation, we discuss how entrepreneurs can apply this mindset to their own lives and businesses, and what it takes to build habits and routines that lead to long-term success. Click play to listen in and head to https://youoweyousummit.com/ to join the 30-day challenge now!
