(Before you read this check this first: Start with the end in mind. The first step to financial freedom.)

Most people lose years—not from failure—but from hesitation. I did too. I wanted to start a business and a YouTube channel for years. I had ideas, plans, notes… but no execution. That gap between intention and action quietly drained my most valuable resource: time.

Hesitation doesn’t mean you lack ambition. It means you’re trapped in the wrong approach to progress.

You’re probably not lazy—you’re overthinking. You’re stuck because you’re trying to solve for steps two through one hundred before you’ve even taken step one.

When you imagine all 100 steps at once, you face 99 questions you can’t answer yet—and that’s where paralysis takes over. The truth? You’ll never have all the answers upfront. Clarity comes from movement, not thought.

Here’s the mindset shift that changes everything:

Stop learning, then starting.
Start, then learn.

You only need to know your next step, not the full path. Like a car—you can’t steer until it’s moving.

If you want to create content—post one tweet.
If you want to start a business—make one offer.

Freedom doesn’t come from more learning; it comes from starting now and learning through reality.

Ask yourself: “How would I start if I had to do it tomorrow?”

Then go do that—today.
