Finish What You Started It’s Bigger Than You
You weren’t just called to create you were called to complete.
You ever sit on an idea so long it starts to haunt you?
That book, that song, that course, that brand…
It keeps circling back, showing up in your dreams, whispering in quiet moments not because it’s random, but because it’s assigned.
Spending time in Atlanta made that hit different for me.
There’s something about that city the energy, the grind, the unapologetic creativity. Everybody’s building something. But it’s deeper than hustle… it’s purpose.
One night walking through Westside Atlanta thinking about lemon pepper wings, I had this realization:
“The idea that won’t leave you alone is probably the one that could set somebody else free.”
We don’t create just for ourselves.
We create to connect. To heal. To unlock.
Here’s the truth:
You were chosen to create it. But you gotta finish it to free somebody else.
The Deeper Message
There’s someone out there right now searching for the exact thing you’ve been procrastinating on.
They don’t need it perfect.
They just need it done.
Maybe it’s a poem that’ll help them process grief.
Maybe it’s a digital product that’ll give them clarity on their next step.
Maybe it’s a short film that’ll help them feel seen for the first time in their life.
But if you don’t finish it it never reaches them.
The healing, the spark, the “yo, this changed me” moment… it dies in your drafts.
Why You?
Because you’ve lived it.
Because you see things in a way nobody else can.
Because your voice hits different.
Not everyone is meant to create what you’re carrying. That vision came to you for a reason.
You don’t need credentials to be called. You need courage to complete.
What Finishing Really Looks Like
Let’s be real: finishing doesn’t mean it’s flawless.
It means it’s released.
It means you gave yourself permission to move it from imagination to impact.
Sometimes finishing looks like:
Choosing done over perfect.
Letting go of fear dressed up as "refinement."
Giving your work wings, even if you’re still finding your own.
Real Talk From Max
When I was building ineedthemax, I kept second-guessing myself.
“Is it good enough?”
“Will anybody care?”
“Am I really the one to say this?”
But then I remembered:
If I didn’t show up, someone else would stay stuck.
Now that I’m here, fully in it, I’m watching lives shift. And that’s the power of finishing.
