26: The Courage to Create: Taking Action Before You're Ready with Ine-Wilme

Whatever Is Excellent with Leanne Tuggle

What if the key to creative excellence wasn't perfection but courage?

Professional cellist-turned-business coach Ina-Wilme reveals transformative insights on unlocking your creative potential while maintaining excellence in both business and motherhood.
After spending seven months meticulously crafting a course that initially earned less than $1,000, Ina learned a pivotal lesson that changed everything: "When you create before you're ready, you get the answers to the test." Her journey from classical musician to entrepreneurial coach demonstrates that real growth happens when we stop waiting for perfection and start creating with and for our audience.
For mother entrepreneurs struggling to balance creative pursuits with family life, Ina offers a refreshing perspective: "My work is a break from being a mom, and being a mom is a break from my work." This mindset shift transforms what could feel like constant demands into complementary roles that energize rather than deplete. Through her "CEO-executor-mom" daily rhythm, she demonstrates how structured boundaries can maximize productivity while preserving quality family time.
Drawing powerful parallels between music and business, Ina distinguishes between excellence and perfectionism. Like a musician who must play many notes rather than perfecting just one, entrepreneurs must embrace quantity alongside quality. "If you have ideas but don't publish them, what's the point of having them in the first place?" she challenges. Using the farming analogy of planting 700 million seeds knowing only 40% will survive, Ina encourages creators to sow abundantly with courage rather than sparingly with fear.
