Stop Waiting for Perfect Conditions



Stop Waiting for Perfect Conditions—Ready or Not, Here I Come!


Do you remember playing hide and seek as a child? The seeker would cover their eyes, count to ten, and then shout:


“Ready or not, here I come!”


It didn’t matter if you had found the perfect hiding spot. It didn’t matter if you were fully prepared.

The game didn’t wait for you to be ready.


Life works the same way.


Opportunities come. Time moves forward. And whether we feel ready or not, the world keeps going.


What Are You Hiding From?


For years, I convinced myself that stepping onto a stage and sharing my message would happen when I was fully prepared. I told myself I needed:


More time

More confidence and

More experience


But the truth was? I was hiding. Not behind a tree or under a table like in childhood games, but unwittingly behind fear, self-doubt, and the illusion of readiness.


What about you?

• Are you waiting until you feel “good enough” to start that business?

• Are you putting off your dreams until conditions are “just right”? or,

• Are you watching others step forward while you are too busy hesitating?


The world isn’t waiting for you to be ready.


When I survived a #brainaneurysm, I had no choice but to move forward, even when I didn’t feel ready.


I had to show up. I'm still doing this today...showing up!

It’s time to step out.


Ready or Not, Here I Come


If I waited for perfection, I’d still be waiting. Instead, I chose to start blogging and now pursuing Speaking (book me here: https://bit.ly/4hzo47X) , sharing and making an impact, ready or not! One of my strongest desires is to 'get rid of excuses' and 'ready or not...leap'.


What’s something in your life that you’ve been delaying?


What’s one small step that you can take today to move forward?


Why not take action now?


  • Identify one thing you’ve been waiting on. What’s your “I’ll do it when…” excuse?


  • Take one imperfect step today. Make the call, send the email, start writing, sign up for the course, whatever moves you forward.


  • Say it out loud: “Ready or not, here I come.” Because when you step up, life will meet you there!


#IChoose statements to break me free from where I am.

#IChoose to step forward, even when I don’t feel ready.

#IChoose to trust that the action I take, will creates and build my confidence.

#IChoose to stop hiding and start showing up regardless of how I feel.

#IChoose to step out onto stages, sharing my story, and speaking about brain health, resilience, and wellness - ready or not.


And I’m here to help you or your organization do the same. Whether you’re leading a team, navigating change, or looking for the inspiration to take bold action, I bring real-life lessons and strategies that ignite transformation.


Let’s make it happen.


Book ( https://bit.ly/4hzo47X) me to speak today.


Because waiting for perfect conditions will keep you hidden.


With Gratitude
