It’s very easy to find a reason why the time isn’t right to start something new, to begin your new diet, to stop smoking, to break up a bad relationship, start a new business, quit the job that’s draining you. We all have our reasons at hand when asked ‘why not now?’

Bottom-line is when you’re working on something important to you, you will never feel completely ready. Partly because of the fear of failing and partly because we are already too comfortable, not happy, but comfortable in what we know and do.

 It is completely normal to feel uncertain and often unqualified when starting a new adventure, but no matter how much information and talent you gather, it won’t make those feelings go away. There is always going to be another obstacle in your way, there is always going to be another important thing you have to do first.

Most people have the same starting point: no money, resources or experience, but the difference is that some take the leap. Because success is far more alluring for them.

 At some point you have to take that first step into the direction you desire. The fact that you want to try is enough, the rest you will learn along the way. No matter how much you plan ahead, you can’t account for every variable. The best way to learn is to do, make mistakes, adjust and proceed.

 Successful people start before they’re ready. If you wait around for the million-dollar idea to come to you, then you need to have a very long breath. And chances are you already have had one or several, but you didn’t even notice it because you were eating Cheetos on the couch on a Wednesday afternoon. In order to jumpstart your brain, you must set your intentions, you need to start doing, planning, making, creating, failing, learning.
