Why do so many smart, capable people stay stuck in planning mode while others move forward even without having everything figured out?

In this episode of Coaching In Session, Michael Rearden sits down with entrepreneur and founder of the FSTEP Initiative, Art Harrison, to explore the mindset required to overcome overthinking and take action. Art shares insights from over 25 years of entrepreneurship, explaining why action beats analysis and how commitment not certainty is what drives progress.

This conversation delves into entrepreneurship as a mindset, not just about starting a business. Art breaks down why you don’t need to quit your job to begin, how vulnerability and self-discovery shape the entrepreneurial journey, and why maintaining your values and vision matters more than having a perfect plan.

If you’re searching for how to take the first step, how to stop planning and start doing, or how to build an entrepreneurial mindset without having a business idea, this episode will challenge you to act before you feel ready and learn faster because of it.
