Season 4, Episode 425: Getting Started (a REMIX of the most popular episode of 2026

Today’s show is a remix of Michael’s most popular episode from 2016. In this short topical content episode, Michael dives into our blind spot around what stops us from getting started. That zone where we make up a thousand reasons why we can’t start to go after what we want – whether it’s writing a book, changing careers, or any other dream we’ve had.

getting started

“The inspiration you’re waiting for in order to get started, is on the other side of “starting”… and it’s waiting for you.”

The universe will rally behind you when you take action, so stop worrying about having everything be perfect, and that special moment when you are finally ready – you are ready NOW.
