In this episode, Jessen shares a powerful mindset shift around the idea of "perfect timing." Too many people wait for the stars to align before making a move—whether it's starting a business, changing careers, or making a bold life decision. Jessen breaks down the psychology of why we delay action and makes the compelling case that the perfect time is actually when you start.
Key Takeaways:
There are no perfect conditions. Waiting only feeds your self-doubt and sabotages your progress. Progress starts with small steps, and taking action—even imperfectly—signals to your brain that you're serious. The longer you delay, the more you reinforce the belief that you’re not ready. So, stop waiting. Start now. Because if you really wanted it, you'd already be doing it.
Podcast Highlights:
Jessen dives into how our desire for certainty holds us back and how the unconscious mind uses that to justify inaction. He urges listeners to start anything—from researching, to taking small steps, to simply committing. Using sharp analogies and motivational fire, Jessen pushes you to jump before you're ready and reminds you that most success stories started without perfect conditions. The episode closes with a powerful reminder: regret only comes from what you didn’t do—so go do it.
