I Have No Idea What I’m Doing (Not True)

October 1, 2020 by Jess Lerner

Gorgeous green and gold sunset in Destin, Florida.

“I have no idea what I’m doing,” is one of the biggest lies we feed ourselves.

You’re smarter than you think.

If you have a burning desire and you are willing to put in the work, it does not matter whether you know what you are doing right now or not. You will figure it out. Yes, as a new business owner, this message is for me as much as it is for you. However, I think it’s important to share it.

Don’t let fear waste any more of your time.

Fear is present to help us survive. However, most of our fears are unfounded, and we waste far too much time and energy focusing on our fears instead of getting things done. Stop wasting time already. The reality is, tomorrow may never come for us. 

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

When you have a desire and take action, call it God, the universe, whatever you believe in, things will start falling into place. People will come into your life that you didn’t expect, resources will become available, and worst-case scenario, you will fall flat on your face and fail miserably. It is time we all get over the fear of failure. Failures we learn from are always a blessing in disguise.

Plus, it only counts as a failure if we give up. Have you made a mistake recently? Are you considering throwing in the towel? It’s time to dust yourself off already and keep going.

What are you waiting for? 

Is there a business you want to start, a relationship you want to get into or out of, a trip you want to book, a school you wish to apply for, a career change you want to make? If you are waiting for the timing or your situation to be perfect, it will never happen.

Do what you can with what you have where you are.

Theodore Roosevelt

Your Desires = Your Purpose.

I believe we are given our desires for a reason. Don’t let the lie, “I have no idea what I’m doing,” hold you back any longer.

You’ve got this.
