If you’ve ever had a great idea for your business… but found yourself staring at a to-do list that never seems to shrink, you’re not alone. Most small business owners don’t struggle with ideas — they struggle with action.

Sound familiar?

Taking action doesn’t mean having everything figured out. It means making one clear move forward, then the next.

—It's not about about giant leaps. It’s about small, intentional steps that stack over time. When you shift your focus from “getting it perfect” to “making progress,” things start to change.

So, what can you do right now? —Novice can help...

Get your plan together. Dedicate a block of time—even just 5 minutes—to your to-do list. Map it out, reorganize it, re-prioritize the items, and keep it somewhere easy to access.
Give yourself permission. You don’t need to wait for perfect timing, perfect tools, or perfect conditions. Progress starts when you allow yourself to move forward as you are, with what you have.
Take one small step each day. Whether it’s making a phone call, writing an email, or sketching an outline—even the smallest actions can move your idea forward.

Join me in person at Beanz Bakery on September 18th. I’ll be sharing how Novice Foundation & Action can help you understand why action feels so hard, what’s really holding us back, and how to create momentum that actually sticks.
