Motivational Monday: Start Before You’re Ready


Hey there!

Most people wait until everything is “perfect” before they take action. They plan, analyze, and tweak every little detail, hoping to avoid failure. But here’s the truth:

You can’t win if you don’t start.

I was reminded of this just last week when I jumped back into CPA marketing. It had been a while, and let’s just say my first campaign didn’t exactly print money.

💰 $11.13 spent

💸 $1.26 earned

📈 216 impressions

🖱 35 clicks

2 lonely conversions

By most standards, that’s a loss. But for me? It’s a massive win.

Because a few days ago, this was nothing but an idea in my head. Now, I have a live campaign, real data, and a clear path forward. The real work begins now—optimizing, scaling, and figuring out where the money is hiding.

And that’s the lesson: You don’t need to be perfect—you just need to start.

This Week’s Actionable Tip:

Pick one thing you’ve been delaying because you’re waiting for the “right time.” It could be launching your website, publishing your first post, or running your first ad. Take one step forward today. Even if you don’t win right away, you’ll be miles ahead of where you were yesterday.


You’ve Got This:

No one wins on day one. But those who start are the only ones who ever win.

Please Read My Affiliate Disclaimer:

I believe in affiliate marketing because it gives me a way to help people profitably. From time to time, I will promote, endorse, or suggest products and/or services for sale that are not my products. I'm pretty picky and my recommendation is always based on my personal belief that the product will provide excellent value to you and your business. In most cases, I will be compensated via a commission or gift when you decide to purchase that product based on my recommendation. In some cases, I might receive the product for free for review purposes, or just to use. In many cases, I promote products that I actually use in my business (like ConvertKit, the service that sent you this email). That ConvertKit link is an affiliate link. If you sign up for ConvertKit using that link, I get a commission. Make sense?​

Here's a really important thing:

Please don't interpret anything in this email as some sort of promise or guarantee of your future earnings. My results are not typical. We've been at this for more than a decade. You could say I am an expert when it comes to online business. This means I have an advantage over most people. I can tell you this -- success takes hard work. Nothing in life or business comes easy or with any guarantees.

By following my recommendations you always agree to do your OWN due diligence before making any purchases, whether we recommend them or not. Never, EVER purchase anything that you cannot afford. Avoid purchasing products that do not have a clearly stated Guarantee, or that promises quick or ridiculous results. And always wear your seatbelt. And take your vitamins.

Why Am I Getting These Emails?

You are receiving this newsletter because you are a customer or you submitted your email address on one of my websites (probably in exchange for free information). My goal with these newsletters is to continue to delight and help you, and I hope you are happy to hear from me.

I hope this never happens, but the day might come when it's time to part ways. If you're ever ready to say goodbye forever, just click the permanent unsubscribe link below. No hard feelings, we'll still be best friends from afar. But be warned, once you click that link, there's no turning back. It's like breaking up with a significant other, it's for good. So think carefully before you click that link, because once you do, our relationship will be changed irreversibly. The choice is yours! You've been warned.
