Welcome back to Smarter in 10 — the podcast that brings big ideas to curious minds, one action-ready episode at a time.
I’m David Peterson from the DMP Education Group, and today we’re starting a new self-improvement series by addressing the number one reason people delay progress: waiting to feel ready.
The truth? Readiness is often a myth. If you want to change your life, you’ll need to learn to start before you’re ready.
Let’s get smarter.
You’ve probably said it before — maybe out loud, maybe just in your head:
“I’ll start working out once I buy the right shoes.”
“I’ll launch the project once I take another course.”
“I’ll write the book once I have a clearer idea.”
“I’ll apply for the job once I feel more qualified.”
But here’s the hard truth: that feeling — the perfect mix of confidence, clarity, and preparation — may never come. Because readiness is not a prerequisite for action — it’s often a result of action.
This principle shows up again and again in the habits of successful people. They didn’t wait until they had all the answers. They didn’t have guaranteed results. They simply moved forward, even while doubting themselves, and figured it out along the way.
