Get your free copy of my new guide, "The IMPACT Formula: 6 Steps to Grow an Audience, Make an Impact, and Leave a Legacy" at https://BobBakerInspiration.com/impact Are you overthinking your creative projects, business ideas, or life decisions? In this episode, I share powerful insights on how to simplify your journey, take action, and gain clarity—without waiting for the perfect plan. 🎯 Too often, we stress about finding the "right" path when the truth is, success comes from experimenting, taking baby steps, and paying attention to what resonates with others. I’ve been coaching creators, musicians, and authors for years, and I’ve seen how overcomplication holds people back. It’s time to shift your mindset! In this strollcast (yes, I recorded this while walking my dog 🐶), I talk about: ✅ Why waiting for the perfect plan is a trap ✅ How to stop overthinking and start creating ✅ The power of imperfect action and embracing the unknown ✅ How experimenting and paying attention leads to success ✅ My personal journey with affirmations—how following what worked changed my career 🔥 If you’ve ever found yourself stuck, overanalyzing, or paralyzed by perfectionism, this episode is for you!
