Waiting for perfect conditions keeps you stuck. The speaker shares how he stopped beating himself up over mistakes and instead put himself in challenging situations repeatedly, learning from each error until competence compounded and progress became self-sustaining.
Most of us, we don't want to begin unless we know everything. We don't know until we got it perfect. I have that same kind of feeling inside me, but early on I realized that perfection was the lowest standard on Earth. Nothing's ever perfect. You and I both know it. So if you're waiting for it to be perfect, it just makes you procrastinate, makes you put it off, and you then you start losing, you know, belief in yourself because you haven't followed through. I want you to know, in the very beginning, I was all— I was beating myself up all the time because I'd take all my money, and I realized I got to invest in me. But fortunately, something inside me said, if I keep moving forward, if I just keep putting myself in the environment, it's going to stick. And it did. Every mistake you make, if you learn from it, you get stronger and stronger, smarter and smarter, until you find that tipping point.
