Starting something new can be daunting. It is easy to fabricate a reason why now is not the right time to start. You'll tell yourself, "I don't know what I'm doing" or "I'm not ready" or "the timing isn't right". As humans, we are masters when it comes to choosing why not to do something. Do you really want to live your life putting off things that intrigue or excite you?

Start now, optimize later.

Think for a moment, how amazing trying a new experience could be if you took that initial, imperfect leap. Following your curiosity and piecing everything together as you learn. You didn't learn to walk by thinking about it. You tried, you fell, then tried again. You created a system that was anything but perfect but you kept fixing your mistakes. You kept trying until you gained the freedom to roam as you wish. As a baby, you were courageous to try new things. You didn't care what people would think. So why should it be any different now?

You can always improve an imperfect start, but you can never improve if you never start. Obsessing over a perfect plan will never take you anywhere on its own. Actions create outcomes and opportunities to learn from what went well and what can be improved on. Minimal action day after day will create opportunities for exponential growth simply by exposing you to new experiences to learn from.
