Perfection is the greatest lie ever sold.
It whispers: “Wait until you’re ready. Wait until you have more money. Wait until life calms down. Wait until you feel strong enough.”
And while you wait, your life slips by.
The Trap of “Someday”
Someday is the graveyard of dreams.
I’ve watched too many people stay stuck because they believed the lie of perfection. They thought they needed the perfect plan, the perfect timing, the perfect version of themselves before they could move.
Here’s the truth: perfection doesn’t exist. If you wait for perfect, you’ll wait forever.
Through the Fire, Not Around It
When I started rebuilding my life, nothing was perfect. My health wasn’t perfect. My finances weren’t perfect. My emotions weren’t perfect.
But I made a decision: to step into the fire anyway.
Because the fire doesn’t wait. And neither should you.
It was messy. It was hard. It was far from perfect. But it was real. And real beats perfect every single time.
Why Starting Imperfect is 10X Stronger
Think about it:
You don’t get stronger by waiting until you’re strong — you get stronger by lifting weight that feels heavy.
You don’t build wealth by waiting until you’re wealthy — you build it by taking steps while you’re broke.
You don’t become confident by waiting until you “feel ready” — you build confidence by doing it scared.
Perfection is an illusion. Progress is power.
Burn the Excuses
If you’ve been saying things like:
“I’ll start my health journey after the holidays.”
“I’ll invest in myself once I make more money.”
“I’ll chase my dream when the timing is right.”
It’s time to burn those excuses in the fire.
The timing will never be perfect. But the moment you decide is always right.
Your 10X Challenge
So here’s my challenge: stop waiting. Start today. Start imperfect. Start messy. But start.
Because if you’re waiting for perfect, you’re waiting for a life that doesn’t exist.
👉 If you’re ready to begin, here are two ways to step into the fire right now:
Start Your Reset → Take the first imperfect step toward rebuilding your health.
Work With Me → Begin your wealth journey today, not someday.
The fire doesn’t wait. And neither should you.
