Ever catch yourself trapped in the waiting game? That moment when ‘now’ doesn’t quite feel right, so you hold off for the elusive ‘perfect’ time?

Let me share a recent story—I relocated my studio to Scottsdale, and despite the moving company’s promise of a 7-10 delivery, I found myself still waiting for my stuff 24 days later.

Yup, for almost a month, I lived in an empty space waiting for my things, no studio lighting, no tripod, nothing. I could have easily hit the pause button while my belongings, apparently lost somewhere in the desert, showed up. But you know what? I didn’t. 

Instead, I leaned boxes against the wall, created an empty shelf backdrop, and turned my life transition into a set. And guess what? It worked. Not only did it work, it added depth and reality to my content. 

Think about how often you’ve been inspired by other people’s imperfections. The guy who transformed his physique using just two dumbbells in his garage, or the woman who embarked on her novel-writing journey armed with nothing but a notebook while waiting to pick up her kids from school. It’s in these very imperfections that true value emerges. 

Trust me, you can achieve remarkable things with much less than perfection. So, step onto the court, even if the nets are missing. Launch that podcast with your phone’s microphone. Whatever your new venture may be, start now.

Don’t let the fear or the temptation of waiting for a “perfect” moment hold you back. Realize that you are the game changer, not the camera or the expensive equipment. 

The amount you can do with what you have now will astound you. Find a way today and let your imperfections become your greatness. 

Here’s a bold challenge for you—Instead of waiting for January 1st to kickstart your new venture, make today your New Year’s Day and see how far ahead you’ll be in 27 days!

Live Inspired,

Eddie
