I recommend putting together a simple website if you are into the business of content creation.

It can help you build an email list, build your portfolio and also acquire clients.

A website doesn’t need to be expensive and if you are looking for a reliable option, I would recommend using Hostinger for your hosting needs.

I host all of my websites of Hostinger because they are amazing in their support and services.

Everything is figureoutable!

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” – Zig Ziglar

I always had that entrepreneurial mind and wanted to do some kind of a business.

But there were hundreds of voices around me telling me that I was not equipped to start and run a business.

Because I had to know how to run a business before starting.

They all gave me the same advice – until you learn and know the art of running a business, you should not start a business, because you will fail.

That fear got into me.

And circumstances didn’t permit me to take that kind of a risk and I let go of my dream of starting a business.

Years later, after I started working a regular job, the entrepreneurial mind started to wake up again.

I wanted to start my business,

But there was one problem.

I was already programmed to believe that I shouldn’t start a business until I knew everything about running a business.

So, the feeling got into me.

I felt like I didn’t know enough.

I thought I needed to take more courses.

I thought I needed to read more books.

I thought I needed to “prepare” before I could take action.

So, I did what most people do.

I spent months consuming information.

I watched hours of YouTube videos on entrepreneurship.

I signed up for every free webinar I could find.

I read books on marketing, sales, and branding.

I convinced myself that once I knew everything, I’d be ready.

But guess what?

The more I learned, the more I realized how much I didn’t know.

Instead of feeling confident, I felt even more stuck.

I kept delaying, waiting for the day when I’d feel “ready.”

And that day never came.

If it wasn’t for my first mentor, I would probably never have started.

The Flaw in Conventional Learning

We’ve all been told the same thing since childhood:

“Learn first, then do.”

In school, you study for years before you apply what you’ve learned.

In college, you take theoretical classes before getting real-world experience.

In jobs, you go through weeks of training before you’re allowed to actually do the work.

This system conditions us to believe that we must fully understand something before taking action.

But real life doesn’t work that way.

In the real world, the fastest learners are the ones who learn by doing.

Think about it:

  • Did you read a manual before learning how to walk as a baby?
  • Did you take a course before learning how to ride a bicycle?
  • Did you wait until you “knew everything” before sending your first email or making your first phone call?

No.

You figured it out as you went.

The same applies to business, creativity, and every skill in life.

Everything is figureoutable – How I Finally Took Action

After months of procrastination disguised as “learning,” I was pushed into take a different approach.

I stopped consuming and started executing.

I picked a simple business idea.

I created a basic offer.

I reached out to potential customers—even though I wasn’t 100% sure what I was doing.

And something amazing happened.

I got my first sale.

Not because I had mastered everything.

But because I took action before I felt ready.

Each mistake I made taught me something I never would have learned from a book.

Each conversation with a customer gave me more insights than any online course ever could.

Each small win built my confidence, making me realize that learning happens in motion, not before it.

I learned that “everything is figureoutable”, if you get started.

What You Actually Need to Succeed

Most people stay stuck because they think they need more knowledge.

But knowledge without action is just theory.

Considering you are reading this newsletter, I would assume that you are into some form of content creation.

Now, let me ask you a question.

With all of the knowledge, have you considered launching a digital product?

I have asked this question to every person who has consulted with me or, joined my coaching.

And the answer is the same – they don’t feel they are ready to launch a digital product.

The truth – you will never be ready!

Instead of waiting until you “know enough,” here’s what actually works:

1. Show Up Every Day

Success isn’t about one big move.

It’s about consistent, small actions repeated over time.

Even if you don’t feel ready.

Even if you’re unsure.

Even if you make mistakes.

Just show up. Every day.

Just take one small action towards your goal.

2. Focus on Continuous Learning

You don’t need to know everything to start.

But you do need to keep learning as you go.

The best entrepreneurs, creators, and professionals learn in real time by doing, failing, and adjusting.

They don’t learn everything before taking action.

They learn just enough to take the next step.

Then they learn the next thing after that.

3. Push Through Every Mistake You Make

Mistakes aren’t failures. They’re lessons.

If you’re afraid of making mistakes, you’ll never grow.

Think of mistakes as feedback loops.

Every wrong turn teaches you something valuable.

Every rejection gives you insight on what to improve.

Every failed attempt is a step closer to success.

Instead of avoiding mistakes, embrace them.

They will teach you more than any course, book or, mentor can teach you!

4. Keep Going Even When You Feel Like Giving Up

The people who succeed aren’t the smartest.

They’re the ones who don’t quit.

There will be days when you doubt yourself.

There will be moments when you feel lost.

There will be times when you question everything.

But if you keep moving, keep adjusting, and keep learning, you will figure it out.

Success isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about refusing to stop.

The Only Formula You Need to figure it out!

If I had waited until I felt “ready,” I’d still be stuck in learning mode.

Looking back, I wish I had known this simple truth earlier:

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start.

You just need to follow the process.

The process of getting started with whatever you have and learn as you go.

That’s it.

That’s the only real formula for success.

Everything else is just overcomplication.

So, let me ask you:

What’s one thing you wish you knew when you first started?

Hit reply—I’d love to hear your thoughts!
