These are WONDERFULLY astute. Like lemon-fucking-zest bright light on the doubts and the millions of ideas. Makes me realize what's stalling me out is that I keep not wanting to pick one thing and try it. I want to make it all, all at the same time. Because I do know that's both a bad idea and impossible (from running community development nonprofits for half my career), I just keep sitting there looking at the massive layer cake ideas instead of just making a muffin and seeing what happens. (Why yes, I'm baking this morning, why do you ask?! 🤣🍪)

Absolutely perfect, Ash. I feel like a lot of these I've heard in some form but you've pulled them together and also added some flesh for ease of understanding. In any case, running through this list just confirmed everything I'm doing and (strangely) my mental state this morning so - in a way you're totally creeping me out and get out of my head!!
