The Waiting Game

General Omar Bradley once said,

"This is as true in everyday life as it is in battle: We are given one life, and the decision is ours whether to wait for circumstances to make up our mind or whether to act and, in acting, to live."

Waiting.

That's what a lot of people I know do.

They wait for the right time to lose weight, invest in real estate or stocks, start a new business, follow through with an idea, etc. My favorite "waiting" thought process occurs in people who want to change their nutritional lifestyle (another way of saying 'Lose that kilo'). They will wait until Christmas or New Year is over, or Easter, or whatever holiday is around the corner.

The problem is: there is always a holiday or vacation or a party "just around the corner".

The real estate or stock market is up. No, it's down. No...I am not sure...

The market is always fluctuating. Correction ahead. Sideway trading...You know what? Holidays will always be around the corner. Yet someone is always making money in stocks and real estate and someone is always staying in shape. Round is also a shape, you know?

So what is the best defense to "waiting" for the perfect time?

Education.

Learning how to enjoy the holidays but still stick with you nutrition guidelines.

Learning how to invest in businesses, stocks and real estate in a way you will have minimal losses and maximum gains

You have to invest in yourself. Invest in books, CD's, DVD's, coaches, mentors and surround yourself with like minded friends, like ... ahem ... me. I have heard my first sales mentor who said that '5 years from now, who you will become is a by-product of the books you read & the people you meet'. I must add that it is also the by-product of the principles you heed and the food you feed.

Create your own circumstances. Stop waiting!
