Hey there.
Hey there. I used to be someone who sat on ideas for years. I’d let them linger, overthink the details, and convince myself the time wasn’t right. About 10 years ago, I finally asked myself, “What if I just did the opposite of what I’ve been doing?” That shift changed everything.
Now, when I have an idea, I move on it. Sure, it might not go the way I imagine, but here’s the thing, it doesn’t have to. Acting on an idea isn’t about perfection; it’s about learning, improving, and growing.
Take a recent example: I saw a mug trending on TikTok. The first time, I barely noticed it. By the third time, I thought, “I could do this differently.” Within an hour, I had designed my own version, updated my shop, created a TikTok video, and linked the product in my bio. Did it blow up? No. But I learned something important: creating and promoting a product can be quick, fun, and educational.
This approach applies to anything, not just e-commerce. When you act on your ideas, you gain practice and insight. You start understanding your processes, refining your creativity, and building momentum. Plus, you’ll discover how liberating it feels to just do instead of think.
The truth is, most ideas don’t go as planned. That’s okay. Success isn’t about perfect outcomes, it’s about effort and iteration. Every experiment builds confidence and sharpens your skills.
Don’t let fear of failure stop you. Failure isn’t an identity—it’s a stepping stone. If you’re worried about critics, remember: most people who criticize aren’t putting in the work themselves.
