READY IS A LIE

THE 5 MINUTE DAILY

Eighty-nine percent of people wait until they "feel ready" to start something important. The other 11% start scared and build readiness through action.

You know which group actually transforms their lives.

Think about every meaningful moment in your life. Your first job. Your marriage. Having kids. Moving to a new city.

Did you feel ready for any of them? Of course not.

You jumped scared and figured it out along the way.

THE READINESS MYTH

"Ready" is a fairy tale adults tell themselves to justify staying stuck.

Ready means you have all the answers. But life doesn't give you answers before you take action - it gives you answers because you take action.

Ready means you feel confident. But confidence comes from doing things while scared, not from feeling fearless before you start.

Ready means the timing is perfect. But perfect timing is a luxury successful people can't afford to wait for.

Nothing that ever changed your life waited for you to feel prepared.

Your biggest breakthroughs came when you acted despite feeling unprepared. Your greatest growth happened when you jumped before you felt ready.

Why would your transformation be any different?

THE 20-YEAR REALITY CHECK

If you wait until you're ready to start building the life you want, 20 years will vanish and you'll still be waiting.

Ready people don't exist. There are only people who start scared and people who stay stuck.

In two decades, what will matter more:

• That you felt perfectly prepared when you started, or

• That you started and built something incredible over 20 years?

The person you could become over the next 20 years is begging you to stop waiting for permission from a feeling that will never come.

TODAY'S LEAP

Set a timer for 5 minutes. Write down one thing you've been waiting to feel "ready" for.

Maybe it's:

• Starting that fitness goal

• Having that difficult conversation

• Learning that new skill

• Making that big change

Now ask: "What if I never feel ready? What if ready is just fear wearing a disguise?"

Take one scared step today. Send the email. Make the call. Start the research. Do something that proves you don't need to feel ready to begin.

THE HARD TRUTH

"You don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to be great." — Les Brown

Ready is a destination that doesn't exist. It's a moving target that stays forever out of reach.

You will never feel ready. And that's exactly why you should start today.

Your future self isn't waiting for you to feel brave. They're waiting for you to act scared.

Time to stop rehearsing for a life you could be living.
