Progress Starts When You Do: Why Action Beats Perfection Every Time
For years, I waited. I planned. I overthought. I told myself I needed clarity before I could begin. The truth is, clarity often comes after the first step—not before it.
Half a year ago, I stopped waiting. I launched Emberhart.com with no clear business model, no perfect roadmap, and no deep web design skills. Just a domain name and a decision to start. Since then, I have built the first version of the site and written tens of blog posts. Ideas were never the problem—execution was.
Now, I am publishing, iterating, and learning in public. The posts might one day evolve into a podcast, a course, or a book. Or maybe not. What matters is that the engine is running. The momentum has started.
This journey reminded me: we do not need certainty to act. We need movement to create certainty.
We all carry ideas—sometimes for years. But only action brings them into the world. As David Schwartz wrote in The Magic of Thinking Big: “Get the action habit. Be an activationist.” Action builds resilience, skill, and confidence. Even if the direction changes later, the habit of doing is the real win.
If you are sitting on an idea, consider this your sign: Start before you are ready. Bake the first batch. Share the first version. Build while learning.
