When I decided to leave my hands-on therapy practice and become a coach, I was nowhere near ready. I didn't have all the credentials, all the answers, or a proven roadmap. What I did have was a willingness to start, and that decision changed everything.
In this episode of The Fully Booked Therapist Podcast, I'm diving into Standard #2 of a fully booked therapist: being willing to fail. I share my own experience of building a coaching business before I felt ready and explain why waiting for confidence, certainty, or perfect conditions often keeps therapists stuck.
We'll talk about what waiting to be ready really looks like, how confidence is created through action, and why failure is one of the most valuable teachers in business. I also explore the connection between failure, honesty, and vulnerability, and why all three are essential for building a thriving practice.
If you've been waiting for the right time to raise your rates, make an offer, market your services, or take the next step in your business, this episode will help you see why willingness matters more than readiness.
