Jayden’s Answer

Hi Teddy,

The best time to take action is always now, never tomorrow or later. The difficult part is not starting the goal, the difficult part is staying on track with your goal and continue to take action towards your goal.

Everyday when you wake up, your brain automatically defaults to what you use to do, whether this is checking your phone, snoozing the alarm, etc. Then through out the day, you will default back to what you use to do as well. Hence it's easy to get started on a goal, difficult to stay on track.

I find it very useful to get out of the comfort zone, and get out of your routine in order to get to your goal. I would recommend this book called The Miracle Morning, it would be a great place to start. Then surround yourself with people that has similar interests as you (even better if they are more passionate than you are), find a mentor in your field that you want to pursue, then don't lose focus. Make your goal your routine, write it down, remember it. When you look back, you will be surprised how far you have come. Enjoy the journey!

Hi Teddy, As all of the others have shared Now is the best time, HOWEVER, remember your plans that you make now don't have to be definitive. I prefer to advise you to be curious and open minded now. Take advice and from a as many individual's that you are able to, remain open minded to roles that don't necessarily appeal on paper as you may stumble into a career that suits your personality and lifestyle.

Mythili’s Answer

Hi Teddy,

The answer to your question is simply "right now". Most people go through life never knowing what it is they want to do and just coast. If you have managed to identify a field you are interested in and also know your dream job, Id say kudos to you!

You are on the right path.

Plan for what would be required to get the role you are aspiring towards.

All the best and hope you are able to get your dream job sooner rather than later

You should start planning your path now! If you know what you want to do, don't waste time - you may find adjacencies that help accelerate your progress.

Daniel’s Answer

This is a great question Teddy!

As stated previously start Now! The longer you wait the more distractions will come up in life. Once you put off your dreams/passions/interests/hobbies the harder it is to get started. Don't wait until you get older and look back and have regrets. Strategically think about and start pursuing your dreams now. Couple of months ago I read an amazing book called Dream Big by Bob Goff. I highly recommend reading the book. It will help you think, mold, and dream big with your ideas!

Never stop dreaming and don't quit!

Daniel recommends the following next steps:

Eric’s Answer

Hey Teddy, I say if you have a goal, take steps in that direction now. The hardest part for a lot of people is finding their dream job, I find most collegues are still trying to figure it out. So if you know what your goals are, celebrate it, and put your plan on paper and take steps.
You got this!
