The Importance of Starting

Taking the first step towards achieving your goals is essential for success. It is emphasized that many successful individuals began their journeys later in life, showing that there is no strict timeline for pursuing dreams. For instance, the experience shared about launching a podcast at 50 reflects the notion that one does not need to feel prepared to start. The key takeaway is that action, rather than waiting for the right moment, is what leads to progress.
