John Wooden a basketball coach once said, "When opportunity comes, it’s too late to prepare." In other words, we should prepare ahead of opportunities. Likewise, we need to be prepared with the necessary skills and abilities to meet opportunities.
Here’s what preparation is not: Knowing all the answers before you start. The key is to recognize when you know enough to start down a road. Otherwise, you’ll be plagued with the paralysis of analysis.
Ask yourself what will happen to your options in the meantime. Will some be eliminated as time passes (for example, if someone else’s decision will impact it)? If waiting will eliminate an important option, decide and act now.
