Nothing will hold you back as thoroughly as the fear of not being good enough. Confidence and a willingness to fail top talent most days of the week. Do it now. Try. Whatever it is. Or I guarantee you will watch people less prepared and not as skilled live your dreams while you wait for perfection.
