Why "Good Enough" Beats Perfect When Building Your Coaching Program with Jake Wysocki

About this episode

Jake Wysocki discusses why aiming for 'good enough' is more effective than perfection in building coaching programs.

What if the thing holding you back from launching isn't your expertise, it's your definition of ready? Jake Wysocki spent years training hundreds of professionals inside Fortune 200 companies before one conversation with his wife changed everything. He walked away from a job he loved, skipped the side hustle, and built something entirely new. But the path that followed wasn't straight, and what he discovered along the way reframed how he thinks about programs, perfection, and the cost of waiting. In this episode, Jake breaks down why chasing perfection is the wrong goal entirely, and what to pursue instead. He also shares the low-risk strategy he borrowed from Jim Collins that every entrepreneur needs before going all in on a big idea. If you've been telling yourself "I'll do it someday," this episode will make you rethink that timeline. Tune in now and catch this episode on your favorite podcast platform.
