By Lauren Tanner and Bad Cat Press

Stop waiting for the perfect time. Start with the next small step.

Do you keep putting off important tasks, even when you know they matter?

Maybe you wait until you feel more confident. Maybe you overthink every option until taking action feels impossible. Maybe you want to do things well, but perfectionism keeps turning simple beginnings into high-pressure tests.

Start Before You're Ready is a practical, encouraging guide for anyone who wants to stop procrastinating and start building momentum in real life.

This book does not offer empty hype or unrealistic promises. Instead, Lauren Tanner helps you understand why procrastination happens and gives you simple tools you can use immediately.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

- recognize your personal procrastination triggers
- stop waiting for confidence, clarity, or motivation before beginning
- escape the perfectionism trap and create "good enough" standards
- reduce overthinking and make decisions faster
- use the Five-Minute Start Method to lower resistance
- build momentum through small wins
- create environments that make action easier
- recover after setbacks without giving up
- build habits that support consistent follow-through

Warm, realistic, and action-oriented, Start Before You're Ready will help you take manageable steps toward the work, goals, decisions, and responsibilities you have been avoiding.

You do not need to feel ready before you begin.

You can start from where you are.
