Breakthrough Co Lab

🌟 Monday mornings just got a little brighter!

We’ve started a weekly newsletter called The Weekly Spark, and it’s our way of sharing things that inspire us, resources we’ve found helpful, and stories from our amazing community.

Our goal? To give you a small spark of joy, motivation, or clarity to help you start your week on the right foot.

If that sounds like something you’d enjoy, you can subscribe at breakthroughcolab.com or at the link in our bio.

Here’s to making Mondays feel a little more exciting. 🖤

Why I Love “Bad Ideas”

I love bad ideas. Truly, I do.

Why? Because every “bad” idea is just a stepping stone to something better. Some of my best projects started as ideas I wasn’t sure about—ones I had to tweak, rework, and sometimes completely flip on their head.

The best ideas don’t arrive fully formed. They’re born from experimenting, failing, and learning. So if you’ve got an idea and you’re not sure it’s “good enough,” don’t toss it aside. Start working with it.

You never know where it might take you.

Have you ever had a “bad” idea turn into something amazing?

The Myth of “Perfect Timing”

Have you ever waited for the perfect moment to start something? I have. I’ve told myself, “I’ll wait to launch until the timing is perfect.” Spoiler alert: That moment never came.

What I learned is that waiting for perfection is just fear in disguise. The truth is, there’s no such thing as a perfect time. The best time to start? When you’re excited, curious, and ready to take the next step—even if you don’t have all the answers yet.

Your idea doesn’t need to be flawless right out of the gate. It needs to connect with your audience. Start messy, learn as you go, and don’t let perfectionism hold you back.

What’s something you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to start?

It's not every day I work in the lounge but today is special. I'm getting ready to host a remote work group at Breakthrough Co Lab! If you need a change of scenery at work today, come on by.

Thanks Mike Franklin for this amazing door prize that I won at SPRINGFIELD GREETERS this morning!
