Are you planning your startup? Setting up your imminent entrepreneurial adventure? Getting your ducks in a row before you take the leap?

Stop planning. Start doing.

If you wait till you’re ready, you’ll never act. Starting a business is like having a baby. No one is ever ready. You just have to launch and take it day by day.

Startups are like kids, the more you have, the more prepared you are for the next one. But you’re still never perfectly prepared. Every kid is different, so is every business.

Just like you shouldn’t have kids before you have the means to support them, don’t start a business until you have a safety net.

But at some point you have to follow Branson’s advice, “Screw it, lets do it!”

Act before you’re ready.
