Now Is As Good A Time As Any
When you ask someone when the best time to start something is, the answer you usually get is Monday. The all-important Monday because you can’t possibly start a new goal or task on any other day of the week. That’s just crazy talk.
If you’re really gung ho you might say you will start tomorrow. But as my grandmother said “don’t want until tomorrow because tomorrow never comes” and she was so right. How many of us have said we would start a workout routine “tomorrow” and 3 weeks later we haven’t started.
The true best time to start something is RIGHT NOW! As is RIGHT NOW, today, this minute, immediately.
It is too easy to wait until circumstances are just perfect in order to start something. What I’ve come to find is there will never be a perfect set of circumstances and if you sit around waiting for that day when the stars are aligned just right and the wind is blowing perfectly in the right direction you may never start. You’ll wake up one day and realize 6 months has gone by and you’ve got nothing to show for it. Then you’ll kick yourself for letting so much time go when you could have made progress by this point. I know this because I’ve done it a million times and learned the hard way.
Take a minute and think about what it is you’ve wanted to do for a long time but the timing never seemed quite right? Are you still waiting for the perfect timing? If you had just jumped in a tried it would you be farther along than you are now which is a BIG FAT NOWHERE?
I asked my self those same questions this week. I’ve wanted to restart my podcast since September. In fact, I wrote a blog post about it back in September. But I’ve had 50 million reasons (excuses) on why I couldn’t. Wasn’t the right time, didn’t have time, what was my focus, should I wait to redo my site…the list goes on. Now it’s January and I could have had 5 months of podcasts under my belt building traffic for my products and services, but I don’t have squat.
There is nothing standing in my way except me so I will start TODAY. Even if it doesn’t turn out the way I want it doesn’t have to be perfect the first time out of the gate. I can work on perfecting it. The key is to get it going.
So what have you been putting off that you can start TODAY. Download this printable, blast through those obstacles and fears, and START.
Then come back and tell me how you did. You got this!
