The Power of Immediate Action in Business

Introduction: Immediate Action in Business

Discover the transformative power of immediate action in business with Elite CEOs. Learn why waiting for the ‘right time’ is a perilous habit hindering your progress.

Quick answer: Should I wait for the right time to start my business?

No. Waiting for the right time trains your brain to delay every time things get hard. I was 22 and not taking my business seriously, and for three years my income barely touched two grand. Once I quit the excuses and showed up consistently, I went on to generate around 25 million dollars in the last three years.

  • Waiting for the right moment is a habit that slows everything down.
  • For three years, my income barely touched two grand.
  • In the last three years I've generated around 25 million dollars after cutting the excuses.
  • Starting in December instead of January gives you momentum going into the new year.
  • The best time to start was yesterday; the next best is today.

The Pitfall of Procrastination

In my journey from a struggling entrepreneur to the CEO of Elite CEOs, one of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is the danger of waiting for the “right time” to take action. The truth is, waiting to start your business or pushing your goals to a future date like January is a slippery slope. This mindset conditions you to delay action every time you’re faced with a challenge or inconvenience. It’s a habit that not only hinders your progress but also trains your brain to default to procrastination.

Immediate Action in Business: My Personal Journey

Reflecting on my early days, I remember being 22 and not making my business a priority. For three years, my income barely touched two grand. Fast forward to the last three years, where I’ve managed to generate around 25 million dollars, and the difference is stark. The turning point for me was the decision to stop waiting and start acting. I stopped making excuses and embraced the hustle, irrespective of the time of year or the circumstances.

The Cost of Waiting

For those contemplating whether to start or scale their business in December or wait until January, consider this: there’s a lag time in business. Starting in December doesn’t just prepare you for January; it catapults you into the new year with momentum. Delaying until January means you’re not only losing out on potential income but also on valuable time that could be spent laying the groundwork for success.

Frequently asked questions

Is it better to start a business in December or wait until January?

Start in December. A business takes time to build momentum, so starting now gives you a head start on the new year. If you wait until January, you lose the income you could have made in the meantime and the chance to lay the groundwork early. You also teach yourself to delay, which costs more than a month.

Why is waiting for the right time bad for entrepreneurs?

Because it becomes a habit. When you push goals to a later date, like January, you train your brain to delay any time something gets hard or inconvenient. That habit follows you into every decision. The fix is simple: commit to consistent effort now, regardless of timing or circumstances.

How did Tanner Chidester go from broke to a successful business?

I stopped making excuses. At 22 I wasn't taking my business seriously, and for three years my income barely touched two grand. The turning point was committing to show up consistently no matter the timing or circumstances. In the last three years I've generated around 25 million dollars.

What does procrastination actually cost a business owner?

More than most people think. You build a habit of putting things off, you miss earnings you could already be making, and you end up unprepared when the important moments show up. Ask yourself what inaction is costing you right now. The best time to start was yesterday. The next best time is today.
