Let’s talk about fear.

Not the kind that keeps you safe—but the kind that keeps you stuck. The fear that creeps in when you're about to do something new… something bold… something that matters.

If you’ve ever felt that kind of fear—whether you're thinking about launching a firm, raising your rates, or even just making a change—you’re not alone. I’ve felt it too. And here’s what I’ve learned: fear isn’t a sign that you’re not ready. It’s actually a sign that you are.

Fear shows up when we’re stepping outside our comfort zone. It’s a signal that you’re standing at the edge of growth. That what you’re about to do means something. And the truth is, you don’t need to feel confident to begin—you just need to begin. Because confidence doesn’t come first—action does.

Every step you take, even the shaky ones, builds the belief you need to take the next one.
