There’s a funny expectation in business — and life — that you’re supposed to know what you’re doing all the time.
Truth is… I don’t.
And I never have.
Most days I’m figuring things out as I go. Sometimes confidently. Sometimes clumsily. Occasionally wondering how on earth I ended up responsible for something I had zero experience in five minutes earlier.
But here’s the part people don’t talk about enough:
Not knowing doesn’t stop progress — stopping does.
I’ve built a lot of things in my life by simply refusing to sit still when I didn’t understand something. I ask questions. I try. I mess it up. I try again. I Google things. I watch videos. I lean on people smarter than me. And eventually… something clicks.
Not because I suddenly became an expert — but because I stayed in the process long enough to find a way forward.
There’s this myth that successful people have all the answers before they start. In reality, most of us are learning in real time. The difference isn’t knowledge — it’s willingness.
Willingness to look daft.
Willingness to admit you don’t know.
Willingness to keep going anyway.
I’ve walked into situations more times than I can count thinking:
“Right… we’ll figure this out.”
And we do.
Not perfectly. Not smoothly. But enough to move forward.
That mindset has carried me through new skills, business decisions, creative projects, and moments where the only option was to learn fast or stand still. And standing still has never suited me.
I think a lot of people wait to feel ready before they start something. They want certainty, clarity, guarantees.
But readiness isn’t a feeling — it’s a decision.
You decide to try.
You decide to learn.
You decide to keep going when it feels uncomfortable.
And somewhere in that messy middle… you find your way.
Every time.
I’m not someone who claims to know it all. I don’t have a master plan written in stone. What I do have is a belief that most things are figure-out-able if you’re willing to stay curious, stay humble, and stay moving.
And that’s more than enough.
Because progress doesn’t come from knowing everything.
It comes from trusting yourself to learn what you don’t.
Thank you, Love you, Bye!Â
