All you need to know to change anything is this. You're never going to feel like it. You're never going to feel ready to start that business. You're never going to feel ready to have that hard conversation. You're never going to feel ready to get out of bed. We're designed to stay comfortable and safe because that is who we are. And also understanding that no one is coming. We have to do it for ourselves. Amen to that. The onus is on you. So get up and make it happen.
