You can pick your nose, but you cannot pick your perfect moment to leap

I meet so many entrepreneurs obsessed with the leap.

The one thing they are waiting for, at which point they will leap, and that leap will turn all that waiting (and usually doing nothing) in to a rampant overnight success that will cement them in the annals of entrepreneurial history.

It never, ever happens.

You wait and you wait and you wait.

And nobody picks you to be a success.

And so you wait and you wait and you wait some more.

But the perfect opportunity to leap never arrives.

Meanwhile, entrepreneurs all around you are diligently working in obscurity, with limited resources and often no resources, until they no longer have to wait for someone to pick them to be a success, they picked themselves.
