If you have been wanting to start your own business, do something about it today. Anything - just a plan, a few ideas, maybe write some code, a web page or a document about sales. Maybe, maybe buy a book - I say maybe because it's too easy to read about someone else's life instead of building your own, to pretend that reading is action instead of a preparation for action.
If you're not sure which of three ideas to follow up on, put your toe into the water of each, until the answer is obvious.
If you don't have the time, spend 20 minutes on it on Sunday evening.
Why? Well, because until you have a stake in the ground around which you build your dream, you can't benefit from serendipity. People won't mail you with their ideas or business proposals, you won't have a chance meeting with a like-minded person who you can collaborate with. Until you're at a particular point in space and time, the ideas that come up only when you're there...won't.
You know how time seems to move faster as you get older? Today the time is moving slower than it will. Excellent time to start something.
