Have you ever been in a situation where you were second-guessing yourself because you believed that the right moment to act was yet to come? But what if imperfection was the key to unlocking your full potential? Today, I am flying solo to share a personal journey and reflect on my post-exit from my company The Money Source (TMS). I will also talk about my collaboration with renowned coach Dr. Jeff Spencer, where I learned a valuable lesson: action is not just about doing something; it's about how it organizes our thoughts and leads to valuable insights.  In this episode of The Greatness Machine, I will reveal the importance of embracing imperfect action, rather than waiting for the perfect moment, as a catalyst for growth. This discussion will also highlight the importance of adaptability, clarifying goals, balancing priorities, and viewing failures as learning opportunities.  Topics include: Taking imperfect action versus waiting for the perfect moment or plan Being open to change and optimizing based on feedback and data The importance of having clarity on personal and professional goals Embracing uncertainty and and using failures as learning opportunities Balancing priorities for a more fulfilling life And other topics… Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Episodes with Dr. Jeff Spencer: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/201-jeff-spencer-learning-from-the-coach-of-the/id1555334180?i=1000613647234 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/19-jeff-spencer-pursuit-excellence-towards-winning/id1555334180?i=1000524616706  Sponsored by: Indeed: Get a $75 sponsored job credit to boost your job's visibility at Indeed.com/DARIUS.

Ever feel like you're waiting for the stars to align, the perfect moment to magically appear, or for life to finally give you a green light? Spoiler alert: that moment isn't coming. But here's the good news—action doesn't have to be perfect to move you forward. It just has to happen. In this episode, we're unpacking the sneaky traps of perfectionism and how they keep you stuck in the same place, spinning your wheels. You'll discover why taking action before you're ready is the ultimate power move, how one small step can lead to massive momentum, and why waiting for “ready” is the quickest way to stall your dreams. But we're not stopping there. We'll dig into what's really holding you back (hint: it's not what you think) and explore practical, no-fluff ways to shake off the fear and just get started—even if it's messy, sweaty, and feels wildly uncomfortable. If you're tired of feeling stuck, overthinking every decision, or postponing your dreams until “someday,” this episode is for you. It's not about being perfect—it's about showing up for yourself in the smallest, sweatiest ways and watching how those small actions create life-changing momentum. So grab your coffee, hit play, and get ready to rethink what it means to take action. Because your life doesn't need perfect—you just need to start. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why “waiting for perfect” is the ultimate trap. The surprising truth about courage and complacency (and why fear isn't the enemy). How small, imperfect steps can take you places you never thought possible. A simple, science-backed hack to create momentum today (seriously, it's easier than you think).

My name is Pamela Hughes and I'm a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves. This was no easy task and I'm not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself. I told you it wasn't easy … but I wouldn't change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.

In this episode, Matt and Keris delve into what it truly means to be a "strong human" - embracing authenticity, building resilience, and finding the courage to take imperfect action on the path to positive change.

Imperfect action V letting yourself off with less. ESGfitness.co.uk

In this episode, ⁠Krish Palaniappan⁠ interviews ⁠Dan Nikas⁠, a former homicide detective turned e-commerce expert. Dan shares his journey from policing to founding Gear Bunch and becoming a leading figure in email marketing and Meta advertising. The conversation delves into the challenges of B2C marketing, the importance of understanding audience needs, and effective strategies for creating successful marketing campaigns on Meta platforms. Dan emphasizes the significance of data-driven decision-making and the evolving landscape of digital marketing, particularly the necessity of multiple touchpoints to convert potential customers. Dan and Krish discuss effective advertising strategies for startups, emphasizing the importance of creating engaging ads without a large budget or a dedicated creative team. They explore the necessity of marketing in business, especially in a privacy-conscious world, and the significance of cultural sensitivity in global advertising. The discussion highlights the value of taking imperfect action and learning from experiences, as well as the essential role of marketing in ensuring that unique products reach their intended audience. Takeaways Dan transitioned from a 17-year career in policing to e-commerce. Understanding audience needs is crucial for effective marketing. Marketing is about selling solutions, not just products. Meta's algorithm can help target the right audience effectively. Creating custom audiences can be done at a low cost. The rule of seven touchpoints has evolved to 19-21 touchpoints. Brand awareness campaigns can help filter potential customers. Data-driven marketing is essential for optimizing campaigns. Geographic targeting should be based on product relevance. Engagement metrics are key to refining marketing strategies. You can effectively advertise on a small budget. It's crucial to answer potential customer questions through ads. Imperfect action is better than inaction; don't wait for perfection. Cultural differences matter in advertising; tailor your message accordingly. Investing in advertising helps you learn and optimize faster. Even unique products need marketing to gain visibility. Use available tools like Canva to create ads without a creative team. Engaging content can come from everyday experiences and insights. Building trust and relationships is key in marketing. Marketing is a collective responsibility across all roles in a company.

Inspired by some moments of self-reflection, Matt and Garrett return today to tackle the common struggles of perfectionism and procrastination, offering up their own experiences as examples. Together, they emphasize how perfectionism often becomes a form of procrastination, paralyzing entrepreneurs and business owners from taking action. Through real-life stories from their work in real estate and entrepreneurship, they highlight the importance of overcoming overthinking and embracing imperfect action. With their trademark mix of humor and practical insights, our hosts explore how new technologies, decision fatigue, and the fear of imperfection can all hinder progress, making accountability a crucial tool in breaking the cycle of inaction. Encouraging listeners to focus on progress over perfection, they stress the power of taking immediate action, no matter how imperfect it may seem, and explain how even small steps forward can lead to meaningful growth, whether in creating content, launching new projects, or delivering services. Authenticity, feedback, and iteration become key themes as Matt and Garrett demonstrate here today that taking action and learning from results is the only way to move forward and achieve success, rendering progress the ultimate driver of growth.Don't forget, if you're ready to take your life to 11, join Life at Ten Tenths' exclusive online ‘11 Circle' community for live coaching, Success Lab Workshops, accountability, a resource library, powerful networking - including referrals - and so much more!

Jenn and her guest Kate are letting you in on a little secret today - you have the power to change your life. This episode is packed full of tips on how to stop living your life on default mode, and how to design the life you live. This week, Jenn is joined by empowerment coach Kate House. Kate shares about her quarter life crisis, and how she determined that she needed to take control of her life in order for it to change. She talks about the best ways to deal with contentment and comparison during bumpy seasons of life. Kate shares how she creates goals with her clients utilizing her framework Goals with Soul, and how to make new habits with simple tweaks in your day to create long lasting habits. Tune in to learn how to create goals with intention to fit into your life. The Salad With a Side of Fries podcast is hosted by Jenn Trepeck, discussing wellness and weight loss for real life, clearing up the myths, misinformation, bad science & marketing surrounding our nutrition knowledge and the food industry. Let's dive into wellness and weight loss for real life, including drinking, eating out, and skipping the grocery store. IN THIS EPISODE: [6:19] We meet Kate as she shares her quarter life crisis. [12:20] What is the difference between default and design, and how do you bridge the gap between the two? [18:40] How do you deal with contentment? [20:50] What are the best ways to deal with comparison? [26:20] How can you determine what you want to focus on in the next season of life (or right now)? What is a Goal with Soul? [34:43] Kate shares an example of breaking down your goals and making them truly attainable.[39:46] How can you work through imperfect action? KEY TAKEAWAYS: A Goal with Soul starts with an intention. It is aspirational, attainable, meaningful, and seasonally appropriate.Action creates clarity and it's what moves us forward. Make the action for your goal to be as small and simple as possible, so that it's almost too easy to do it.Show up for yourself imperfectly, you will learn along the way and eventually master the skill. Action helps you create clarity and is what creates results. Life goes through seasons, and there may be times when you have more time to take action and push your life forward, and other times where you need to slow down and focus on what is in front of you while implementing joy in the little pockets you have available. QUOTES: [7:47] “I actually did have a light bulb moment because that was the moment I realized, oh my gosh, I am the only person who can change this for myself. Dennis can't do it for me, my boss can't do it for me, I have to take ownership of my life and I have to decide to pour myself into the things that feel fulfilling, that feel like I'm living by design, cause up until that point, I was kind of living by default.” - Kate House[8:36] “Nothing changes if nothing changes, and also what I'm not changing, I'm choosing.” - Kate House[13:48] “To me, living by design means hitting pause on the busyness of life and taking time to really be present with the people that I love most. The cool thing to me about living by design is that it is unique for each and every one of us.” - Kate House[41:24] “Ed Mylett had this great quote on a podcast years ago, he said imperfect action beats perfect inaction every time. I draw on it so often to inspire me to take action and to do it imperfectly, and to be ok with the fact that I can't start something new, I can't be a beginner at something and also be a master at it at the same time.” - Kate House"We're setting up the systems for the most hectic of days, not for the ideal day." - Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Willpower Guzzlers Podcast EpisodeThe 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 MonthsBecome A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramGUEST RESOURCESKate House's WebsiteLive by Design PodcastKate House's InstagramFree month of LBD Collective MembershipOvercoming Overwhelm MasterclassGUEST BIOI'm Kate House, your host of the Live By Design Podcast and founder of the empowerment coaching program - the Live By Design Collective!I help women who feel stuck and overwhelmed and want to move through life with confidence and clarity set and actually achieve their personal goals with soul via mindset shifts, personal growth practices, healthy habits, and guilt-free self care!You can find me living in my small town of Gettysburg, PA with my husband (and college sweetheart!), my two little boys, and two mischievous pup dogs too. As a Behavior Change Specialist, Empowerment Coach, Top 2% Globally Ranked Podcaster, and Virtual Summit Host, I'm perfectly poised to support you in living by design and not by default via my signature method: The Live By Design Blueprint. ⭐ Because YOU are the architect of your extraordinary life! ⭐

It's better to take imperfect action than no action at all. All too often end up allowing ourselves to get swept away from the end goal entirely because we focus too much on how we're going to get there exactly instead of just getting there. How many times do we decide to slow walk when we should be jumping? Are we letting our excuses cloud over our ability to take action? All of us have that thing that we want to do that we're not doing because we're unsure of what needs to be done...But you do know. You're just afraid of the uneducated risk involved. Time moves on though, whether you are taking action towards the future you want or not. Even if it's just a small step you take today, that is one step closer than you were had you not taken it. Then you have to take one more step tomorrow, and another the day after that, and again, until eventually, you are where you once only dreamed of being. The only thing that you can choose to do is make the memories and decisions that you want to now in order to impact what it is that you see in the future.Whatever it takes for you to succeed, you should be willing to do it, as long as it aligns with your morals, values, and integrity. If it is outside of those, know it is you who has to rest with those crossed boundaries of your own. Exchanging your character for money is despicable--keep what matters most to you in tact. Improve the life you live and those who are around you through positive movements forward, even if they seem imperfect or small.

Have you ever been in a situation where you were second-guessing yourself because you believed that the right moment to act was yet to come? But what if imperfection was the key to unlocking your full potential? Today, I am flying solo to share a personal journey and reflect on my post-exit from my company The Money Source (TMS). I will also talk about my collaboration with renowned coach Dr. Jeff Spencer, where I learned a valuable lesson: action is not just about doing something; it's about how it organizes our thoughts and leads to valuable insights.  In this episode of The Greatness Machine, I will reveal the importance of embracing imperfect action, rather than waiting for the perfect moment, as a catalyst for growth. This discussion will also highlight the importance of adaptability, clarifying goals, balancing priorities, and viewing failures as learning opportunities.  Topics include: Taking imperfect action versus waiting for the perfect moment or plan Being open to change and optimizing based on feedback and data The importance of having clarity on personal and professional goals Embracing uncertainty and and using failures as learning opportunities Balancing priorities for a more fulfilling life And other topics… Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://therealdarius.com/youtube Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Episodes with Dr. Jeff Spencer: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/201-jeff-spencer-learning-from-the-coach-of-the/id1555334180?i=1000613647234 https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/19-jeff-spencer-pursuit-excellence-towards-winning/id1555334180?i=1000524616706  Learn more about your ad choices.
