In this solo episode of The Joy Work Show, host Diane Taylor Parker tackles one of the biggest myths holding small business owners back: the belief that you need to feel "ready" before taking action.

Diane shares why waiting for the perfect moment is often a form of procrastination rooted in fear and perfectionism.

She explains how true momentum comes from commitment, not confidence and why embracing imperfect action is the key to growth.

With insights on mindset, accountability, and the power of community, this episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of their next move.

Whether you're launching, pivoting, or scaling, this is your reminder that readiness is not a prerequisite, but courage is.
