Stop "Until-ing" Yourself:

Feb 25

How many times have you caught yourself saying:

"I’m going to wait until I hit X revenue before I invest in that program."
"I’m going to wait until I have more clarity before I take action."
"I’m going to wait until I have more experience before I raise my prices."
"I’m going to wait until…"

We use the word until as a security blanket. A comfortable little excuse that makes us feel safe while keeping us trapped in the exact same place. We convince ourselves that we need more time, more money, more confidence, more whatever before we can make the moves we KNOW we need to make.

But let me be real with you—most of the time, this is just fear disguised as logic.

There may be logistics involved in your decision-making process, sure. But nine times out of ten, your "until" is actually backed by fear, self-doubt, or limiting beliefs.

And guess what? That fear is usually not even about the thing you’re waiting to do. It’s about what happens after you do it.

The Fear of What Comes Next

When you take action—when you finally pull the trigger on that investment, that business move, that big decision—you are committing to growth. And with growth comes change. New challenges. More responsibility. More visibility.

And that’s terrifying.

Subconsciously, many of us don’t take action because we don’t believe we are truly ready for what comes next. We worry:

What if I can’t handle the next level?
What if I fail?
What if I succeed, and now I have to maintain that success?
What if people expect more from me?
What if I don’t deserve it?

And that? That is the real reason you keep "until-ing" yourself into oblivion.

It’s not that you need more experience, more money, or more time.
It’s that you’re afraid of what happens when you actually step into the version of yourself who HAS those things.

This is What Separates Those Who Win From Those Who tay Stagnant

Let me be clear: when I say win, I don’t necessarily mean making millions of dollars (though obviously, that’s one definition of success).

I mean winning in a way that matters to YOU:

Having the freedom to choose how you spend your time.
Having the power to make decisions without financial stress.
Having a business that supports your life, instead of running your life.

The difference between the entrepreneurs who achieve this and the ones who don’t?

They stop waiting. They stop “until-ing” themselves into stagnation.

They make the scary decision before they feel ready.
They trust themselves before they see the full path ahead.
They take action before they have everything figured out.

Because they understand this truth: waiting until you feel "ready" is the fastest way to stay exactly where you are.

The Reality Check You Need: There’s No Magic Moment

Think about it:
When was the last time you suddenly felt ready to do something big?

When was the last time clarity just magically appeared without you taking action first?

It doesn’t happen.

If you’re waiting until:
✔ You have more time → you’ll always be waiting.
✔ You have more experience → you gain experience by doing.
✔ You have more confidence → confidence comes through action, not before it.
✔ You hit a certain income goal → that income won’t come if you don’t make moves.

The more you wait, the more you delay the next-level version of you who is already capable of handling what’s next.

How to Stop "Until-ing" Yourself and Take Action NOW

So how do you break out of this cycle and start moving forward? Here’s the game plan:

1. Identify What You’re Actually Afraid Of

Ask yourself: Why am I REALLY waiting?

Is it truly because you need more resources, or is it because you’re scared of what happens when you take the leap?

If it’s logistics, solve them. If it’s fear, address it head-on.

2. Reframe the Way You See Risk

Most people see risk as something to avoid. But what if the bigger risk is staying exactly where you are?

Instead of asking, “What if this doesn’t work?”, ask yourself:
🚀 What if it DOES?
🚀 What if this is the decision that changes everything?
🚀 What if my future self is BEGGING me to take action?

3. Get Rid of the Time Excuse

You don’t "find" time. You make time.

If your excuse is “I don’t have time”, then time-block your calendar. Schedule in the actions that will move you forward. Treat them like non-negotiables.

Because if you don’t, you are choosing not to move forward. And that’s on you.

4. Invest in What Eliminates Your Limiting Beliefs

If your "until" is backed by a feeling of not being good enough or not knowing enough, then close that gap.

Hire a coach.
Take the course.
Find a mentor.
Get in a room with people who stretch you.

If you’re struggling with confidence, work with someone who can help you shift your mindset and step into your authority.

5. Accept That You Will Never Feel 100% Ready

The biggest lie you’ve been sold is that you’ll magically "feel ready" one day.

Read this twice:
❌ Clarity comes AFTER action, not before.
❌ Confidence is BUILT through experience, not the other way around.
❌ The next level doesn’t show up until you DECIDE to meet it.

Final Thought: "Until-ing" Yourself is Just Another Form of Self-Sabotage

And that’s the hard truth.

Every time you push your goals into the “until” pile, you’re delaying the life you say you want.

You’re delaying the business that could be thriving.
You’re delaying the freedom you dream about.
You’re delaying the version of YOU who is already ready—you just haven’t met her yet.

So let me ask you this: How long are you going to wait?

Because until you stop waiting, you will NOT move forward.
Until you stop making excuses, you will NOT see the results you want.
Until you stop "until-ing" yourself, you will NOT become the person who already has what you’re waiting for.

So today, make the decision. Take the leap. Do the thing. Because your next-level self is already waiting for you on the other side.
