YOU ARE NEVER READY! OR ARE YOU?

If there was one thing that moving day taught me it was that "you are never ready!"  But that's okay, no one ever is!

Regardless of the time and effort that you put into the event "you are never ready!"  You spend hours on 'experts' blogs; you comb through books and magazines articles; you talk to friends, colleagues, mentors.  But you are still not ready.

You've run through all of the possible scenarios (that you could think of) and planned for every potential roadblock (read catastrophe) ... but you aren't ready!  Or are you?

No matter how much research you put into planning, no matter how many experts you seek guidance from, no matter how many contingency plans you have ...there will always be a scenario that you couldn't have possibly foreseen!

What do you do?  YOU GO ANYWAY!  YOU PULL THE TRIGGER!  YOU LAUNCH!  YOU HAVE TO!

Everyone's expertise is based on their experience, what they've learned from other's experiences and what they've read in 'history' books (magazines, blogs, websites, real books).  No one can predict with certainty the future 100% of the time.  So once you have put in a substantial amount of effort and the timing "feels right" you launch, you go, you pull the trigger!

After recently getting married to my gorgeous wife, we consolidated two homes into one.  The events were about three weeks apart.  We researched and planned for the first event, we learned from it, we corrected our plans for the second event.  While it all went pretty smoothly there were still hiccups.  We were very blessed, there weren't any catastrophes, but there were hiccups.  It's going to happen.

So pull the trigger ... do your research/due diligence ... but pull the trigger!
