Readiness is a feeling that might never come, but preparation is something you can do right now. The speaker argues you don't need to feel ready to start a new job, launch a business, or commit to a relationship. Stop waiting and prepare instead.

Stop waiting for ready. Ready may never come. Prepared can happen. You can get prepared for things. You can get prepared for that next job, that business, that relationship, having kids, having that next life goal, whatever it is. You can get prepared, but ready, ready may never come. There's no guarantee that you'll ever be ready. Just pull the trigger, guys. Ready and prepared are not the same thing.
