If you've ever sat there at 2 AM, scrolling through other coaches' perfect websites and wondering "Who am I kidding?", this episode will change everything.

Host Rick Taylar reveals the single biggest mistake that traps new coaches in endless preparation cycles and why recognizing this pattern means you're closer to breakthrough than you think.

Here's the truth that might surprise you: the coaches you admire most started exactly where you are right now. Uncertain. Questioning themselves. Wondering if they were ready.

The difference isn't that they had all the answers. The difference is they discovered what your future clients actually need from you, and it's not what you think.

In this episode, you'll discover why perfectionism disguised as preparation keeps new coaches stuck, how curiosity beats certainty every time, and the simple shift that transforms nervous beginners into confident practitioners. Rick shares real stories from his early coaching days, including the moment his biggest "I don't know" led to his client's greatest breakthrough.

Important Points:

• Why waiting until you're "ready" keeps you from ever starting your coaching journey
• The powerful difference between being a guru and being a guide (and why clients prefer guides)
• How to turn "I don't know" into your most valuable coaching tool
• The question that changed one client's entire life direction in under five seconds
• Four practical steps to move past perfectionism and start serving clients this week

Ready to stop preparing and start practicing? This week, notice when perfectionism shows up in your coaching journey, then have one conversation focused entirely on asking questions instead of giving answers. Your future clients don't need the perfect version of you that might exist someday. They need the real you, right now, with your genuine desire to serve.
