When do you begin?

When should you start?

Today!

If you don't start today, then you won't start until tomorrow ... and tomorrow never comes!

Start small:
  • The acorn becomes the mighty oak
  • The baby step becomes the journey of life
  • A tiny apple seed grows into a tree that produces thousands of pounds of fruit over it's life
  • Opening a book becomes a decade of learning
  • Opening your eyes to the world around you becomes a lifetime of living
Taking a small step today can become something phenomenal tomorrow.  Don't put it off until tomorrow.  You have to "strike while the iron is hot!"  When an idea comes to you the pursuit of that idea needs to start immediately!

That spark (a.k.a. idea) needs to be turned into a fire and it will need fuel.  The spark can't last too long without out fuel.  Even worse, what if someone else gets that same spark, but does something with it?  Your idea for a new product or service is now someone else's idea!

You might be thinking "but Tubby, I don't know how to ... I'm not ready ... conditions aren't right ..."  Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Your motto needs to be "Aim, Fire, Ready!"  If you wait until you have everything you need to guarantee success, if you wait until your are ready, if you wait until the conditions are right -- you will be waiting a long time!

Have a great day!
