The permission you've been waiting for is sitting right here

I watched someone ask for help their first day and I realized something that nobody talks about. We all think we need to have it figured out before we show up. That we need to know the rules, understand the system, find the right starting point. But here's the secret about this place that everyone who's thriving already knows. It doesn't work that way.

The people who win here aren't the ones waiting for perfect clarity. They're the ones who just start. They post something halfway baked. They jump into a conversation even though they're not sure what's happening yet. They show up confused and messy and real.

You don't need permission to begin. You don't need to be ready. You don't need to understand everything first. The Skoolyard doesn't reward people who have it all figured out. It rewards people who care enough to try anyway. Who show up even when it's awkward. Who connect with someone even if they're not sure what they're doing.

If you're new here feeling lost, that's the perfect place to start. That confusion you're feeling right now? That's actually the entry point everyone else walked through too. The sooner you show up as confused, the sooner you'll start becoming part of something real.

What's one thing you could do in the next five minutes that scared you a little?
