Still waiting to launch your offer? That delay might be what's killing your momentum. In this episode, I dive deep into one of the biggest mindset traps entrepreneurs fall into: waiting too long to launch. I share what I've seen firsthand while working with multiple clients—some of whom made their first sales within 48 hours—and why quick action is the key to catching momentum in business. You'll learn why spotting a winning offer isn't about research or overthinking—it's about getting in the water and testing. I break down how you can validate your idea fast, with less than $100 in ad spend, and how fear of judgment might be the real thing holding you back. If you've been sitting on an offer, waiting for the perfect moment—this is your wake-up call. Because the only way to truly fail… is by hiding. Whether you're a marketer, coach, or startup founder, this episode will push you to hit publish, test quickly, and stop letting perfectionism stall your progress. Tune in and learn how to ride the wave of momentum—before it passes you by.
