From Research Papers No One Read to a TEDx Stage—The Power of Making It Simple with Dr. Christiane Schroeter

Lack of confidence is the #1 thing holding entrepreneurs back—not lack of knowledge, not lack of effort, but the inability to take that first imperfect step.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter, business professor and TEDx speaker, knows this firsthand. As a German immigrant teaching entrepreneurship in California, she noticed something that shocked her: America's hustle culture was burning people out before they even got started.

The problem? Entrepreneurs are waiting for perfection. They're stuck comparing themselves to competitors. They're overwhelmed by the size of their goals.

In this episode, Christiane shares her STEP framework—a simple system for building momentum through what she calls "petite practice" (small, intentional actions that compound over time).

You'll learn:

• Why "it's all been said and done before, but nobody said it like YOU"
• The STEP framework: Simplify, Tell, Examine, Praise
• How to build confidence by examining what's ALREADY working (instead of chasing what others are doing)
• Why speaking your goals out loud creates accountability and momentum
• How to escape the perfection trap and just get started
