You've convinced yourself the problem is getting started. "I'm just not good at beginning things," you tell yourself. But that's a lie. You're excellent at starting. You start constantly. You're a professional beginner, a serial starter, a master of the first mile.

Starting was never your problem. That final 10% between good enough and actually done is where your dreams suffocate.
