I trust myself completely.

And that trust didn’t come from having all the answers.
It came from realizing I don’t need them upfront.

There was a time I waited for permission.
Permission to start.
Permission to believe I was capable.
Permission to say, “Yeah… I can build something online.”

But permission never came.
So I gave it to myself.

Not because I suddenly became fearless, trust me, fear still shows up.
It just stopped being in charge.

I learned that trusting myself doesn’t mean I won’t fail.
It means I trust myself to handle whatever happens next.

That mindset changed everything.

When I stepped into Wealthy Affiliate, I didn’t step in as an expert.
I stepped in as a learner.
Someone willing to show up, follow a process, and grow into the person who could succeed.

And every lesson, every action taken, every small win reminded me:
I’m capable of learning new skills.
I’m capable of building an online business.
I’m capable of staying consistent even when results take time.

That’s real confidence.
Not loud.
Not flashy.
Just steady.

I trust myself to take the next step. Even when I can’t see the whole staircase.
I trust myself to pivot when I need to.
And I trust myself to build something meaningful, one decision at a time.

So today, I choose trust over doubt.
Action over hesitation.
Progress over perfection.

I trust myself completely.

Great mindset Peter!

As a former perfectionist, I too had to teach myself "progress over perfection."

Though I had the full authority from the CEO of a company I used to work for, to hold up a project from production if I wasn't happy with it, I realized progress was more important for the company as a whole.

Old habits are hard to break sometimes. However, the more you strive to break the habits that impede progress, the easier it is to overcome.

Appreciate that, Robert!
Amazing how “progress over perfection” still applies even when you can stop production.
Old habits die hard, but thankfully, progress usually wins in the end.

My pleasure Peter. Sometimes it is important to look at the bigger picture and put perfection off to the side.

Thanks for this, Peter.

Many of us struggle with this.

Seeing someone say it and do it will help, I think.
