Dear Entrepreneur #1
Dear Entrepreneur,
Have you been working for years, collecting experience, doing all the “right” things, but still feel like you’re waiting for something? Waiting for the perfect moment or someone to say “You’re ready!”. Meanwhile, a voice inside your head whispers: “Not yet. You’re not good enough. Who are you to do that?”. But here is the truth: “You Don’t Need to Wait for Permission”
“You’re not ready yet”
Is that the voice in your head when you want to start? The one whispering that you need more experience, more money, more approval before you can really begin your journey?
It’s lying to you. Because the truth is — “You don’t need permission. You just need momentum”.
Start Anyway
Dear Entrepreneur, starting your journey as an entrepreneur means you’ll face moments: staring at a screen, a notebook, or a blank Google Doc and thinking, “Who am I to do this?”
Well, to tell you the fact that — the people who actually do it? They start anyway. And here are the steps they can take, first they launch with a Canva logo, then pitch before they’re confident. They ask for feedback before the idea is fully baked.
They move—while most people wait.
Momentum Over Permission
That feeling of not being ‘ready enough’ is often just fear wearing a different name — fear of judgment, of failure, of getting it wrong.
But here’s the thing: momentum beats fear every time.
Once you take the first step by sending that email, hitting “publish,” and reaching out to that person—something shifts. That means you’re no longer stuck in your head. You’re in motion. And good news is, that’s when things start happening. Not because everything is perfect. But because you chose to begin.
No One’s Coming to Say “Go”
The entrepreneurial path doesn’t come with a permission slip. No one stamps your passport and says, “You’re ready now.” And even if they did, does it really matter?
You have to know one thing that, you get ready by starting. Day by day, you build your confidence by doing. As a result, you earn your credibility by showing up.
There are people out there making moves with less talent, less experience, and less funding than you—simply because they started.
Here’s Your Challenge
That idea you’ve been overthinking?
The business you’ve been dreaming about?
The skills you’ve been quietly developing?
To answer those questions, here is the first step: START
Starting before you feel “ready” isn’t a risk—it’s the secret
Always have your back,
