Have you ever held back on starting your business dreams because you need more preparation? It’s a common sentiment that many aspiring entrepreneurs can relate to. The fear of not having all the necessary resources or the perfect conditions can often hinder us from taking the first step. But let me tell you, waiting for the perfect moment will only delay your progress. Instead, it’s important to start where you are, with what you have, and take action.

I’ve been in your shoes

When I embarked on my journey to start a photography business, I didn’t possess a professional studio. All I had was my camera and a window in my guest room that provided natural light. It would have been easy to make excuses and postpone my plans until I had all the equipment and resources I thought I needed. However, I consciously decided to push forward and utilize what I had.

You’ve gotta start somewhere

I began building my portfolio by capturing photos of my friends, family, and neighbors. These initial shots became the foundation of my marketing materials. I took every opportunity to practice and refine my skills. Slowly but surely, my business started to grow organically. It wasn’t an effortless journey, but my passion for photography served as a driving force that kept me going.

To end up where you want to be

As I ventured into the coaching world, the story is no different. I didn’t have a fancy website or an established coaching academy. All I possessed was my knowledge and the tools I needed to help entrepreneurs live an abundant life. I started by simply providing a Calendly link and utilizing Zoom for my coaching sessions. It was a modest beginning, but it laid the groundwork for what would come.

Don’t let anything hold you back

The key takeaway here is to not let the lack of resources or the fear of not being ready hold you back. Your passion and determination are far more valuable than any external factors. Embrace what you have right now and do it with love and dedication without expecting immediate results. Success rarely happens overnight, but if you take action and consistently pursue your passion, you will eventually achieve your goals.

A foundation is what’s needed to build

Starting where you are doesn’t mean you won’t evolve or improve. It’s a starting point, a foundation you can build and grow. Every successful entrepreneur began somewhere, and they often started with limited resources. Their willingness to take small steps, make progress, and continually adapt is what sets them apart.

So, let’s embark on this journey together. Take a moment to reflect on what you currently have that can serve as a starting point for your business. It could be a skill, a talent, or a unique perspective. Identify the small steps today to move closer to your goals. Maybe it’s reaching out to potential clients, creating a basic online presence, or investing time in self-education. Whatever it may be, commit to taking action and moving forward.

Remember, you don’t have to do it alone

Seek support from mentors, join communities of like-minded individuals, and surround yourself with people who believe in your vision. Consider booking a coaching call if you need help creating an action plan or guidance. Together, we can develop strategies and overcome obstacles that may arise.
