goes ahead
Doesn't hold back
Goes ahead means proceeds or moves forward with an action, plan, or decision, especially after hesitation, delay, or awaiting permission.
If someone goes ahead with the project, they begin or continue it despite obstacles or uncertainty.
The phrase often implies taking initiative or receiving clearance: The committee voted and the proposal goes ahead next month.
It can also signal permission when used as an imperative: Go ahead, I'm listening.
