Episode 9: Imperfect Action: Because Being Visible Beats Nonexistent [featuring TJ Walsh]

How often do you have a great idea but hesitate to put it out to the world because "it's not ready, perfect, or complete?" Sometimes you need to build the plane as you're flying it! Do you remember a time when you've just put the idea out to the world and the pressure lifted, the fear disappeared, and the world didn't stop spinning? I know that a lot of us, including myself, oftentimes hold ourselves back from stepping into the lives we want to live, the businesses we want to create, and the dreams that we have. In this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk with TJ Walsh, owner of Bold Creatives Collective. We talk about Putting an idea out to the world before it's built or finished Working through fear and insecurity to pursue dreams, goals, and aspirations How taking risks pays off in the long run, even though the short-term is Fuc*ing scary!
