You dont need to have every detail worked out to begin.

Start now and figure things out along the way.

In fact, my strategy mirrors Barbaras advice: launch fast, learn faster.

But we launched early, adapted, and let the market guide us to the solution.

Thats where wealth comes frommomentum, not hesitation.

You just need to take the first step.

Even small actions can help you find the right path.

By moving forward, you will learn what works and what doesnt.

The important thing is to get started dont wait for everything to be perfect.

Corcoran herself faced many doubts while building her real estate empire.

She could have let the fear of failure stop her.

Instead, she was able to benefit from both her failures and her successes.

My best successescame on the heels of failures, Corcoran has said.

You cannot build wealth by playing it safe all the time.

Many wealthy entrepreneurs took big risks.

Some of those risks did not work out, but they learned from their mistakes.

The truth is, the wealth isnt in the risk its in how you handle what comes next.

For me, that mindset has been thereal game changer.

Many people hold back because they are afraid.

They fear losing money or being rejected.

But the fear of failure is usually much worse than the failure itself.

These fears can stop you from reaching your full potential.

Every entrepreneur experiences setbacks.

To succeed youll have to learn to manage your fear instead of letting it control you.
