In this Friday Rant, I dive into the truth about moving forward—even when you’re unmotivated, unclear, or deep in the messy middle. I’ve learned that progress doesn’t come from having everything lined up perfectly; it comes from showing up and doing the next best thing in front of you.

Whether you’re building a business, raising a family, or just trying to stay on track, momentum starts with small actions, not massive plans. I share a trick I learned from my dad about how to stay present, manage your day without overwhelm, and find peace (and progress) in imperfection.

Key Takeaways:

- Perfection is a stall tactic. Big operators rarely “know it all”; they just keep moving.

- Work the messy middle. Progress happens while things are unclear and imperfect.

- Do the next best thing. One concrete action today > a flawless 6-month plan.

- Manage today, not the week. Don’t pre-stress; handle what’s in front of you.

- Momentum opens doors. Action → momentum → opportunities → clarity.
