Perfection is procrastination in disguise. In this episode, Mikel challenges you to stop waiting for the “perfect” moment and take the first step toward what God has called you to do.
If you wait until you feel ready, you’ll likely miss the moment. In this motivating episode of Daily Fox Fuel, Mikel explains why waiting for the perfect conditions is often just procrastination masked as preparation. He shares stories of helping friends launch businesses, lessons from his own entrepreneurial journey, and insights from leaders like Reid Hoffman and the book Ready, Fire, Aim. Using Ecclesiastes 11:4, Mikel reminds us that those who “watch the wind will not plant” and that action—imperfect but courageous—leads to growth. You’ll be inspired to take a step today, even if it’s messy, and trust God to realign you as you move forward.

Waiting until you’re ready is often just another form of procrastination. Mikel shares how fear, excuses, and even spiritual language like “waiting on God” can keep us from taking action. Growth doesn’t come in perfect conditions—it comes in courage and messy starts.
Drawing from Ecclesiastes 11:4, Reid Hoffman’s launch advice, and the book Ready, Fire, Aim, he challenges us to stop waiting for the right setup and instead take the step that’s been on our heart. Today, identify one thing you’ve been stalling on, pray about it, and move forward—even if it’s not perfect.
