With the cost of homes being over priced and out of step with middle America’s paycheck you need to take advantage of the market. You just need to learn how to obtain the home at a discount like the professional investors do.

The perfect time is now. If I believe that my idea is good and unique, I will act it now and try to see if it is working for me or not.

Great old-school post. I am a big believer in Just Do It (well I am in advertising, and love the Nike message). In my previous career I was surrounded by staff who were waiting for the right time to make their move – to leave, start a business, improve their health etc. I am the only one who actually Just Did It. I made an audacious move to change careers and buy into an ad agency, quit my job and have never looked back. Four years later I have a successful business and live a great life. My old colleagues are either still there grumbling and waiting or have been fired. Its too easy to make excuses and never realise that today is the right time to follow your dreams.

Hi Brian,

I agree with what you’re saying. I just came back from Life Directions at Peak Potentials and we did a demonstration where you take big rocks first, gravel second, sand third and water lastly and stuff them all into a glass jar.

Everything fits as long as you put the big rocks in first …… but most of us tend to do the reverse. We put our big rocks last. Those big rocks are the things you talked about – starting a business, time with loved ones or time to exercise.

To putting the big rocks first,

This relates to a post I just wrote on Monday, because you have to live life and stop worrying about this, that, and the other, often which you can’t control anyway. You can’t get mad at anyone else except yourself if you succumb to your own fears and don’t proceed.

I’m greatly impressed on how you have showed the value of perfect timing. I need this. I want to get out of the rat race.

I think focus has allot to do with it. I find if I focus on 1 or 2 things a day or even in a week I get more done. Focusing on to many variables leads to distraction and not getting anything done. Being Focused helps you spend the time you have more effectively and makes you start and finish a task.

The flip side of this is knowing what you want to start. I am struggling with finding a good topic for a new website. I am so busy looking for the “perfect” topic that I haven’t built anything for a couple months now.

Simple advice for increasingly complex times. I agree with every aspect of your article “The Perfect Time to Start Never Comes” and am going to try some of these tips.

I’m a big fan of your site and check it every week…

Of all the points above, I found out that the “Learn to Say No” part is the hardest one. Is there any sort of mindhack to keep me from fiddling with little meaningless tasks so I can get to working on the important things? It’s been a guilty-pleasure thing so far, I know it’s wrong but it’s really a hard thing to stop.

Thank you so much for the refreshing article!

D. Clark had a great idea that he turned into a challenge for his readers. It is time well spent when you consider the concept of ‘Your Childhood Dreams Fulfilled’. 6) Genius Types – There is too much wisdom and truth contained in Brian Lee’s post ‘The Perfect Time to Start Never Comes’ for me to summarize it all here. Just trust me – you want to read that post! 7) Jane Chin – I love how this edition of the Link Love series has so many “you-centric” posts, and Jane’s awesome piece called ‘
