I still do Ready, Fire, Aim but when it's brand new territory, I have done the ready, ready, ready...um hello ready? thing too. I'm learning to balance. :-) @Melissa, you seem to have the right balance and have learned to trust yourself. Secrets? :-) @Matt, Hi! I love your idea of partnering! It is an excellent way to lower the entry point by sharing the task with someone who knows more than you. Not to mention accountability.

Maybe I'm holding off on a big project because I'm working on something else. Perhaps I'm postponing a business move because I'm studying or learning and building my strategy. But generally, if I have the time, the know-how, and the inclination, I jump right in ;) <abbr><em>Melissa Donovan´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WritingForward/~3/OIdIM1MCEK0/writing-on-the-go" rel="nofollow">Writing on the Go</a></abbr></em> I do wait sometimes, but usually what I’m waiting for is the right time for me.
