Stop waiting to feel ready — learn this instead

I used to think I needed to know everything before I could start freelancing.

The problem is that mindset left me spinning my wheels. Weeks, or worse, months would go by, and I'd be right back where I started.

Sound familiar?

But here’s the thing: waiting to feel “ready” is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.

You don’t need to be perfect to start; you just need to be willing to learn.

We're so lucky we have so much knowledge at our fingertips. I'm firmly convinced you can learn the basics of building a freelance business in a month.

That's where rapid skill building comes in.

Get on YouTube, find a podcast, or go to SkillShare or Udemy. Do a quick Google search, and you'll find thousands of free or cheap courses and teachers online.

Instead of waiting and overthinking, focus on learning and doing small things right now — copywriting, email marketing, newsletters, niche sites, LinkedIn posts, scriptwriting, etc.

It's all out there.

And you can learn it in an hour a day for over the next month.

I promise this approach is the fastest way to build confidence and start taking real action toward your goals.
