What if the biggest thing holding your business back isn’t your strategy, your skills, or your circumstances, it's the waiting?

In today’s episode of the Profit Connections Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most universal traps entrepreneurs fall into: delaying action until the “perfect time.”

And right now, as we round the corner into a new year, it’s more common than ever.

We tell ourselves:

“I’ll start after the holidays.”

“I’ll wait until things calm down.”

“I just need to feel more ready.”

But here’s the truth: there is no perfect time.

The only thing you control is the next step, and the longer you wait, the heavier that first step becomes.

Today we break down exactly why waiting erodes your confidence, feeds overwhelm, and stops your business from growing, and how micro-strategies, visible next steps, and tiny daily actions create unstoppable momentum.

Remember, nothing changes until you move and when you do? Everything gets easier.

Key Takeaways:

• Waiting is a pattern, not a strategy: When you delay action, you’re teaching your brain to hesitate.
• Imperfect action builds real momentum: You learn faster, move faster, and grow faster when you start before you feel fully ready.
• Delay creates drag: Every week you wait adds more doubt, resistance, and emotional weight to the next step.
• Planning can be procrastination in disguise: Overthinking, researching, and color-coding your calendar feels productive but ultimately it keeps you from moving forward.
• Staying stuck drains more energy than doing the work: Burnout often comes from avoidance, not action.
• You only control one thing: the next small step: You don’t need the whole plan. You just need the next visible action.
• Tiny wins compound into big breakthroughs: Small, consistent action builds confidence and momentum.
• Consistency attracts results: When you show up daily, even in micro-ways, clients, clarity, and opportunities start showing up for you.
