Ninety-nine per cent of all good ideas are never implemented. Why? Because of the desire to prepare too much. Over preparation means procrastination. If you have a great idea but you insist on reading, planning or researching everything under the sun before you make a move, your inaction is really a mask for laziness or lack of guts.nn How many times have you said: "I am not ready yet," "I am not prepared to do this," "Let me think about this," or "I need to know more before I begin." While some preparation is healthy, too much preparation wastes precious time that you need for doing. Winners act, think on their feet, make big mistakes and learn from these mistakes as they go along. They are always building, growing and adjusting. The alternative is "paralysis by analysis." Wait too long and someone will get there before you do. How many times have you had an idea, and while you were still thinking about the how, where and when, somebody else simply did it? It will happen again and again as long as you keep hesitating, delaying and preparing too much.nn Good ideas seem to be in the air. Many of the best inventions were made in different countries by different people, independently from each other but at the same time. You can almost be sure that, as soon as you have a good idea, somebody else has also had it or will have it very soon. If you want to win, you need to put your plans into practice first.nn There will be only two kinds of companies in the future: the fast ones and the dead ones. Even in your personal life an excess of preparation can deprive you of the most beautiful things and prevent you from getting what you really want. Dating, for example, requires courage, quick action and the ability to adapt. How many times do men look at a beautiful girl and, while they are still trying to figure out what to do and what to say, somebody else approaches her and takes her away?n Prepare briefly and wisely then act swiftly. Learning by doing is better than preparing while waiting. Circumstances could always be better, but they will never be perfect. So whenever you feel that something should be done, ask yourself these three questions:nn Who, if not you? Where, if not here? When, if not now?nnnAlso, I wanted to share an expert opinion I received about this book: n"You will never make the big bucks if you keep getting paid solely for your time.

Looking ahead to the New Year and how you expect it to unfold, can be tempting to get absorbed in whatever is currently trending, or whatever is “doom-ing and gloom-ing” at the moment.

I have a new cell phone. I didn’t want a new cell phone; I was perfectly happy with my 2020 cell phone, but it wasn’t happy with me. Its connector charging port was ailing. Failing, actually, the service tech told me. And besides, it was an old phone, what did I expect? Old? This to a woman who is more than content, read “thrilled,” to wear outdated fashions just because she likes them. And would willingly keep computers way past their supposed “shelf life.” Sigh. OK, fine,
