I believe the answer is:

imply

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'suggest' is the definition.
(implying is a kind of suggesting)

'one simply can't get started?' is the wordplay.
'IMPLY' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for imply that I've seen before include "Express by indirect means" , "Involve - intimate" , "Infer" , "Indicate indirectly" , "Insinuate or suggest" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
