When is the Best Time to Get Started?

The conditions will never be absolute perfect, so why delay?  Get started now.

Have you figured out yet when is the best time get started on your new project/assignment/goal, etc?

Anyone looking to achieve the greatest possible outcome from a new venture will often look for a time when the stars align and everything is perfect to launch.  When should we roll out the new product line?...  When will the market recover so we can get the best price?...  When are those stocks going to bottom/peak so we can buy/sell?

Of, if not trying to actually choose a specific time, we may be simply waiting around until we have "enough" of whatever we feel is needed to get started...  "enough" money... "enough" time... "enough" information... "enough" courage... enough whatever.

Well, guess what?  The conditions are never perfect and there is never enough.


Which means the answer to our original question of "When is the best time to get started?" is an obvious NOW.

You've known this for some time.  You've felt this before.  Your inner sage has been screaming at you over and over again to just get started!

The reason for this is very simple -- we can't predict the future and we can't see around the corner until we actually look.  Oh sure, we may try... and certainly there are patterns we can follow that can help guide us in the right direction... but until you get started down a path you're never 100% sure where it will take you or what you might discover along the way.

Once you get started, and actually get in the game, you'll learn how to manage and learn what it takes to succeed. 

If market conditions change, you'll adapt.

If new opportunities arise, you'll be ready for them.

If the challenges become hard to bear, you'll learn to persevere.

But those only happen for those who get started.  It will be scary along the way, no doubt, but until you start moving you'll know.  And that's why, to stress the point again, you might as well just get started now.

NOW is the time.
