But when you feel that your knowledge is inadequate or experience is lacking, it can inhibit you from doing anything.

This is true in most pursuits, not just in leading change.

You don’t want to get it wrong, right? Better to do it once you’ve learned more, right?

Wrong, actually.

Timing is rarely dictated by your preparedness. It’s almost always a function of need, and usually being driven by someone else.

So whether you like it or not, now is the time to act.

The most important thing is to start. Do something.

And when you’ve been thrown into it, underprepared, with zero special training, and no relevant experience (this is doubtful by the way), take a breath and heed the advice of American tennis legend and human rights leader, Arthur Ashe:

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

I believe in you. So do lots of people.

Have a great weekend!
