Stop Waiting for Perfect: Progress Over Perfection in Business for Moms
Stop Waiting for Perfect: Why Starting Messy Is the Real Glow-Up
You’ve been carrying an idea, a dream, a “one day I’ll…” in your head for too long.
But every time you go to start, you tell yourself it’s not the right time. You don’t have the perfect website yet. The perfect logo. The perfect plan.
Sis, let me be real with you—there will never be a perfect time. Waiting for “perfect” is keeping you broke, overwhelmed, and still stuck in the same place year after year.
I know because that’s exactly where I was. I had all the excuses ready:
- “I’ll start after the kids get older.”
- “I’ll start when I have more money.”
- “I’ll start when I feel ready.”
- "I need a polished plan and the perfect strategy."
- "I want my Instagram grid to be put together and pretty."
I thought I had to have it all figured out before I started.Â
But let me keep it real with you—perfection was the very thing keeping me stuck. I wasn’t launching, I wasn’t showing up, and I wasn’t building the future I wanted.
But the truth is, starting messy is better than never starting at all.

What Happens When You Wait for Perfect
The longer you wait:
- You keep scrolling social media, watching everyone else build what you know you could do too.
- You stay in survival mode, wishing things would change but never moving.
- You let fear of being “not ready” steal years you can’t get back.
And here’s the kicker—even if you have already started, waiting for perfect shows up in other ways:
- Stuck in planning mode but never launching.
- Patching systems together but never creating structure.
- Constantly second-guessing yourself instead of moving forward.
Whether you’re brand new or already in the game, waiting for perfect keeps you spinning.
Why Perfection Keeps Us Stuck
If you’re nodding right now, you probably know this cycle too well:
- You have an idea for a blog, business, or digital product… but you wait because it’s not “ready.”
- You want to post on Instagram… but you overthink the caption, rewrite it 20 times, and delete it anyway.
- You compare yourself to other moms online who seem to be doing it all flawlessly… and you talk yourself out of even trying.
Here’s the truth: perfect doesn’t exist. And every day you spend waiting for perfect is another day you could be creating the life you deserve.
The Cost of Waiting
We think waiting will make things easier—but it actually costs us more.
- It costs us time we’ll never get back.
- It costs us energy, because we carry the weight of ideas we never release.
- And it costs us confidence, because the longer we stall, the more we convince ourselves we’re not capable.
Sis, I know what that feels like. I’ve been there. Waiting for the perfect moment while life kept moving without me.
The Comparison Trap No One Talks About
Comparison doesn’t always look like jealousy.
Sometimes, it’s disguised as “waiting until you’re ready.”
Sometimes, it’s playing small because you’ve convinced yourself you’re “not there yet.”
Here’s the problem—you never get there without starting.
- You think your story isn’t “interesting enough,” so you don’t share it.
- You think your offer isn’t “good enough,” so you don’t launch it.
- You think you’re “too late,” so you don’t even try.
And the person you’re comparing yourself to?
They’re not better than you.
They’re just moving.
✨Whether you’ve started your business already—or you’re still holding back waiting for “perfect”—the Reset Map is your free reset system to get you moving. No more second-guessing. No more waiting. Just 7 steps to finally take action and build something real. 👉🏽 Grab your free Reset Map today and start where you are.
My Turning Point
I reached a point where I realized: if I didn’t start now, I’d still be in the same place five years from now.
So I gave myself permission to start messy. My logo wasn’t polished. My systems weren’t perfect. Some days I was winging it. But at least I was moving. And every messy step taught me something I couldn’t have learned from sitting still.
Progress Over Perfection: 3 Steps to Start Messy
If you’ve been holding yourself back, here’s how I broke free—and how you can, too:
đź’› Step 1: Choose Progress Every Time
Stop asking “Is this perfect?” and start asking “Does this move me forward?”
Even small steps count. That first messy blog post or Instagram caption can be the spark that changes everything.
I had to face the fact: I wasn’t showing up because I was scared.
Scared of being judged. Scared of looking small. Scared of putting my heart into something and watching it flop. But here’s the shift—I realized that not showing up at all was already making me lose.
So I decided to build my business my way. I stopped chasing aesthetics and started building systems. I stopped chasing trends and started talking directly to my people.
I stopped waiting for a perfect “viral moment” and started making content that mattered.
đź’› Step 2: Share Your Story Anyway
Your story is powerful, even if it’s not polished. Somebody is waiting to hear how you balance motherhood, work, and chasing your dreams. Post it. Share it. Don’t wait until it’s picture-perfect.
đź’› Step 3: Commit to Consistency, Not Perfection
You don’t need to do everything. You just need to do something—over and over again. That’s how momentum is built.
I’m a single mom, a sports mom, an educator, and a business owner. My days are not wide-open and “aesthetic.”
That’s why my systems don’t look like a 25-year-old content creator with zero responsibilities. They’re built for my reality. And they work because they fit my life.
Yours should, too.
- Test.
- Tweak.
- Adjust until it feels natural.
Because if your business doesn’t fit your life, you won’t stick with it.
Why Starting Messy Is the Advantage
When you start before you’re ready, you:
- Build confidence by doing.
- Learn faster than you ever could from research alone.
- Start attracting opportunities you wouldn’t get while waiting.
Starting messy doesn’t mean sloppy. It means courageous. It means deciding that your future matters more than your excuses.
