Launch out: to the extent that you have gone out and reached out, you
also need to launch out with the idea and initiative you have been nursing, or
those that occur to you as you become. A popular maxim holds that “people will
not celebrate you for your intentions, but your actions.” To succeed, you need
to have a sizable action quotient per day. And the key to doing that is making
every hour count. Input substance into your hours and you will have a
productive day. Never let an hour pass by without a substantial investment of
rigorous thinking or effort with short, medium or long-term yield in it. Even
the chunk of time you take to rest or spend with your family constitutes a
judicious investment of time that will produce positives. So, don’t think it’s
all about working alone.
So, dare the odds and discouragements to launch out and
start that business, NGO, product/service line, and whatever it is that you
have tucked in the recess of your mind for so long. Don’t fall victim of the
paralysis that develops from over-analysis. You will never know all there is to
know, have all you need to start, nor have a panoramic view of all there is to
see about the idea anyway. So start where you are.
I conclude with a saying I heard
some years ago, “instead of waiting for a perfect time, make the present time
perfect.”
