What if the biggest difference between success and failure wasn’t your business idea, but how you you think?Starting anything new—especially your own business—is equal parts exhilarating and terrifying.By definition, any new path is uncleared. Or, as Joseph Campbell so aptly stated: "If the path before you is clear, it is probably someone else’s."So, if you are setting out on a new path—whether in your professional or business life—encountering and clearing obstacles along the way is inevitable.At some point, doubt will inevitably creep in. And when things don’t go as planned—it's easy to want to throw in the towel and walk away. If you’ve ever hesitated to take action, or found yourself stuck in the cycle of waiting until everything is perfect, this episode is for you.The people who succeed aren’t the ones who had the perfect plan. They’re the ones who started before they felt ready—and figured it out as they went.And that’s exactly what we’re talking about  this episode.In Omnia Mea Compass' first episode we explore themes of growth, courage, and the importance of defining one's vision in entrepreneurship. We learn that discomfort is often a precursor to growth and that clarity comes through action rather than waiting for perfect conditions. The discussion also highlights the significance of understanding one's 'why' and adopting a mindset focused on progress over perfection, particularly through the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) approach.Omnia Mea Shownotes https://omnia-mea.com/fortune-favors-the-bold/
