13. How to Know When You're Ready to Start

When I quit running a think tank to become an internet life coach, I did not feel ready. I had spent a decade building a legal career, I had just gotten certified as a coach, and I did not even balance my own checkbook. My friend Brenda Lomeli and I later coined a term for what that transition felt like: barf club, the experience of being nauseous about taking action and doing it anyway.

If you are waiting to feel ready before you become a coach, invest in your business, or make any real pivot, this episode explains why that feeling is never arriving, and why waiting for it is the actual risk. I am walking through the two decision-making tools I use with clients instead of waiting around: values-based decision making, and connecting to your future self.

Ready is not a feeling. This episode is your invitation to barf club.
