In this episode, I’m speaking to people who are waiting for the perfect time to move or do something. There is no perfect time to move. The time is right now.
Why “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” and “Waiting on the World to Change” might not be the best strategy for those who are too patient, or have trouble getting started.
Question Why: Why is it so difficult to know when it’s time to jump in? How long is too long to make a move?
Personal Story: What my experience as a double dutch champion can teach you about not missing your turn to jump in.
In real life, there is no perfect time to jump in. If you wait too long, you won’t have enough time to complete the assignment.
Why this matters:
Pour the glass moment:
It’s comfortable to believe there is a perfect time or that there will be this sign to tell you to go. But there is no perfect time and no sign that can tell you that for sure.
Practical Tip: Step out of fear. Step out of your need to be perfect. Understand your power to make a move right now.
In practice: How to make this happen:
Homework:
Don’t sit on the dock for too long. Champions get in the rope quickly. No one wins an award for staying outside the rope.
Encouraging Word:
When you win, we all win. The world needs you at your best doing what only you can do, and doing that now.
