The Myth of Being "Ready Enough"

Are you someone who cleans the house before the cleaners come? I’m not talking about picking up so they can clean, I’m talking about wiping counters and sweeping up. People do this in all kinds of aspects of their lives.

“I’ll go to the gym, but after I get a little fitter.”
“I’ll send my work to an editor after I rewrite it one more time.”
“I’ll let a bookkeeper help me with my accounting once I have it all cleaned up.”

The problem is that the trainer, the editor, and the bookkeeper are the pros who actually help us obtain those goals. So, what happens? Well, we kick the can down the road, never quite reaching the level of readiness we imagine, and avoid taking the actual next step of letting a pro help us get to the next level.

Today, if you're holding back on something because you want to tidy up before letting someone into your world to help, just let them in. Show up as you are. You are ready today. The professionals you hire have seen it all before. They aren’t judging. There is nothing you need to fix or change to be “ready”.
