    Start Before You’re Ready: Why Waiting Quietly Destroys Momentum

    If you’ve been sitting on an idea, this episode exposes a common trap: waiting for “ready.” Daisy, a serial entrepreneur who’s studied 500+ startups and founded 12 businesses, argues timing often matters more than perfection.
