1/27, Jacqueline M. Baker
What if the secret to getting unstuck isn’t a better plan—but a messier start?
In this episode of Just Start: Get Visible, I will make the case for starting messy on purpose. Drawing from my background as a planner, project manager, and multi-time founder, I'll share why perfection is a fantasy—and how messy starts are often the most sustainable path forward.
You’ll learn why letting go of perfection creates momentum, how starting messy gives you room to evolve publicly, why normalizing discomfort is part of visibility, and how public commitment can dramatically improve follow-through. If you’ve been waiting for the “right time,” the perfect strategy, or total confidence, this episode is your permission slip to begin anyway.
Because you don’t need a flawless plan—you just need to start.
