<div class="bbWrapper">Basically the trend here is that everyone is waiting for that perfect time to take action. <br /> <br /> MJ talked about this in his book. And yes I&#039;m guilty of almost everything here. <br /> <br /> It&#039;s all part of the human trait of been superstitious and ritualistic. Waiting for the perfect time when the stars align in your favor. And the ritual of having an event where everything explodes and you make it big. <br /> <br /> But don&#039;t forget to just do it. Just by having some sort of plan you&#039;re already in the top 90 percent of the population. You may not be in the 1 percent but you&#039;re getting there.</div>
