No time like the present! DO IT. Now.

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.” – Chinese proverb
DO start now. Don’t wait. DO listen to your gut. Don’t listen to naysayers (of which there are many.) If other people could be entrepreneurs, why aren’t they already? Don’t let their doubts matter. DO let your passion direct you.
Cast fear aside, and while you’re at it, throw every comfortable reason to not do your own thing aside as well.
Take off right now! If you crash-land, at least you tried! (You probably won’t crash.)
Ignore the people who tell you, “You have a comfy job with benefits, why would you change that?” Or, “ You have it so good! Why would you risk that?” DO listen your intuition and that feeling that keeps telling you to “Go for it!”
When people say, “that’s just a dream,” or “that’s so unrealistic,” remember –
The last part of that sentence is, “ for me.”
When people say something is “unrealistic,” what they actually say is, “that’s unrealistic for me.”
When people call a dream impossible, they tell you, “that’s impossible, for me.”
Nothing is impossible, or unrealistic, unless you think it is. The majority of people feel it is, and that’s OK – more room for the dreamers. Having a typical job is perfect for many people, just not for you.
Now is the time to try! You’ll be glad you did 10 years from now…
So fling off the chains, smirk at the naysayers (in the nicest way,) and enjoy these quotes for people like you.
