Motivational Monday: You Don’t Need to Be Ready

Hey there!

Ever feel like you’re not ready yet? Like you need more time, more skills, or more confidence before taking the next step?

Here’s a reminder from Arthur Ashe:

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

So many entrepreneurs wait for the perfect moment to begin. But the truth? The perfect moment never comes. You’ll never feel 100% ready—but you don’t need to be. What matters is starting with what you have right now.

Your website doesn’t need to be perfect. Your first social post doesn’t need to go viral. Your email list doesn’t need to be big. What matters is taking action.

This Week’s Actionable Tip:

Look at one thing in your business you’ve been delaying because you don’t feel “ready.” Break it into one small step you can take today. Whether it’s publishing that post, setting up that landing page, or reaching out to a potential client—just start.

You’ve Got This:

Momentum builds when you take action. Start where you are, use what you have, and do what you can. That’s how success happens.

Warm regards,

Mark Mason

PS: Feeling overwhelmed by everything you “should” be doing? Focus on progress, not perfection. No one builds an empire overnight—just take the next step. The rest will follow.

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.
