Get your 2026 sorted with 1:1 business coaching packages from a one-off session to 6-months of coaching. 

In this episode, Fiona demonstrates the power of simply getting started by recording directly into her phone's voice memo app. She explores how perfectionism and overthinking can prevent us from taking action, sharing practical insights on overcoming the barriers that keep us stuck in planning mode.

You'll learn:
• How to start a podcast with nothing more than your smartphone's voice memo app
• Why "starting where you are with what you have" is more powerful than waiting for perfect conditions
• Practical strategies for overcoming perfectionism and analysis paralysis in business
• The importance of taking imperfect action rather than endless planning
• How simple tools can be just as effective as expensive equipment for content creation
• Why embracing the Arthur Ashe philosophy can transform your approach to business projects

This episode is perfect for entrepreneurs, content creators, and anyone who's been putting off starting something because they don't feel "ready enough." Fiona's authentic, unpolished approach proves that sometimes the best way to begin is simply to begin.
