You’re reading Infinite Momentum: a Sunday reflection followed by 130+ thoughtful executives, founders, and creatives navigating growth, change, and clarity.

The first move isn’t always the biggest, but it’s the one that matters most.

One of the easiest traps to fall into, especially if you're thoughtful, ambitious, or wired to perform, is waiting.

This can be waiting until things calm down, until you feel more ready, until you have more time, energy, confidence, or clarity. Waiting until things are ‘perfect.’

But momentum doesn’t come from having the perfect plan, as we all know, it comes from making things happen.

I’ve seen this again and again in people I work with, and in myself.

Overthinking.

It’s good in small doses. It’s paralyzing when it consumes your ability to act.

Even this series started that way: without a blueprint, but just a desire to try something new.

You can probably think of someone right now. Whatever they’re stuck on, they’ve been there so long, you know what they’re going to say before they say it.

We like to think we’ll start once the fog clears, but it usually clears after we begin.

Look, starting doesn’t mean being reckless or rushing.

It means you stop looking outside yourself for the green light.

Stop waiting for life to happen to you. Make the call.

Whatever you’ve been circling — a decision, a project, a shift you know is overdue — maybe you don’t need more prep. Maybe you just need to get on with it already.

It can be small. It can be messy.
It doesn’t have to be brave.
It just has to be yours.

You are not behind.
You are not too late.
You are exactly where it starts.

This week’s nudge:

Cheers to getting on with it,
Eric

P.S. If you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is as good as any.
