We’ve all been there. Staring at a dream, a goal, or a vision that feels so big it almost paralyzes us. Whether it’s starting a business, returning to school, writing that book, or simply reclaiming your voice after motherhood—something always seems to whisper, “Wait until it’s the right time.”

But here’s the truth: waiting is holding you back.

We often think we need to be more ready, more confident, or have more time. But the longer we wait, the more the fear grows. That perfect moment you’re waiting for? It doesn’t exist. And that’s where the power of starting now comes in.

 

The Myth of Perfect Timing

Let’s get one thing straight—there’s no such thing as a perfect time to begin. Life doesn’t pause for clarity. If you’re a mom juggling schedules, wiping tears, and running on caffeine, you know what I mean. It’s not about having time, it’s about making space.

Success doesn’t start with certainty; it starts with movement. That first tiny, shaky step you take today will carry more weight than years of planning in your head. Every mom, entrepreneur, or woman with a dream has felt the sting of hesitation. But the ones who rise? They’re the ones who start—even when it’s messy.

 

Why Starting Now Matters (Especially for Moms)

As mothers, we often put everyone else first. Our kids, our partners, our jobs. But what if your decision to start now sets the most powerful example your children will ever see?

Kids don’t just listen to what you say. They watch who you are. They watch how you respond to fear, how you face challenges, and how you chase dreams. Every time you make a bold move, they’re learning what bravery looks like in real time.

You’re not just building a business or following a passion—you’re building a legacy.

 

Reframing Fear as Fuel

Fear is real, but it isn’t the enemy. It’s often a sign that you’re about to do something meaningful. Instead of waiting for the fear to go away, use it as a signal: “This matters.”

Tashia Leon, founder of Moms Making Moves, knows this feeling intimately. A powerhouse motivational speaker, author, and mom, Tashia built her platform to empower women to stop waiting and start owning their next chapter. Her message is clear: you don’t need to be perfect—you just need to begin.

Through her START NOW Framework and her empowering journal, she’s helped countless women reframe their self-doubt and take bold steps toward their purpose. Her voice is a mix of grace and grit—the mentor moms didn’t know they needed, reminding them that growth doesn’t happen in stillness. It happens in movement.

 

Starting Small Still Counts

You don’t have to leap. You just have to move. Whether it’s:

  • Writing the first paragraph of your book

  • Taking 30 minutes to brainstorm your business idea

  • Making that phone call

  • Launching your Instagram page

Small steps are still steps. They’re signals to yourself and to the universe that you’re serious about change. And momentum builds. It gets easier. Not because life calms down, but because your confidence grows.

 

The Power of Saying Yes to You

When you say yes to your dreams, you’re not being selfish. You’re being responsible. You’re showing up for the version of you that your kids, your community, and your future need.

Whether you’re a stay-at-home mom thinking about launching a passion project, or a working professional feeling the nudge to pivot careers—your time is now. The longer you sit on your potential, the further away your impact becomes.

You were never meant to play small. And starting now is your way of saying, “I believe in something bigger—for me, for my family, for the world.”
