Allow yourself to be a beginner. Allow yourself to be imperfect, because all that striving to look like the person who’s five years deep in their dream is going to keep you stuck. Comparing yourself to someone who has already done the work, someone who has already grown past the beginner stage. You have to allow yourself to be terrible. Give yourself six months of starting and being terrible. Because if there’s one thing I know about 2025, it’s the year of action. It’s the year of saying enough is enough. It’s time to quit dreaming. It’s time to push through the fear of being seen, being heard, being a failure. Push through the discomfort. It’s okay to have 5 views on your first YouTube video. It’s okay to have only 2 sales from family and friends. The point is you’ve started and it’s only up from there. Let go of this idea of being a perfect beginner. You’ll stay wishing and dreaming year in year out with this mindset. Consistency and acceptance of imperfection is how you start and win in 2025.
