Breaking the Final Bolt #8: Overcoming the "Perfect Time" Myth

Send us a text

The final obstacle holding many back from success is waiting for the "right time" to pursue their dreams. By exploring personal stories of loss and unexpected achievements, Terry Fossum reveals why taking immediate action—even imperfectly—leads to far greater progress than perpetual planning.

• The hardest step in any journey is the first one out your front door
• "Someday" often never comes, as illustrated by Terry's parents who postponed their travel dreams
• Analysis paralysis prevents people from starting by overthinking and waiting for perfect conditions
• Adopt "Ready, Fire, Aim" instead of waiting until everything is perfectly planned
• Martin Luther King Jr.'s wisdom: "If you can't fly, run; if you can't run, walk; if you can't walk, crawl"
• By not moving forward, you're actually moving backward as time continues passing
• Taking steps on blind faith led Terry to win a survival reality show and become an award-winning actor
• You'll never have more time than you have right now—every day of waiting is one less day to live your dreams
