Hey {NAME} -- My dad has [comically] horrible timing. He's trying to sell our family cabin in mountains in California. It's been in the family since the 70's but it almost gets burned down... literally every summer. We decided as a group it was time to say goodbye. (Photo taken outside the cabin this past September)
The first time he listed it was in March 2020... It hit the market literally the day before California locked down. My dad was understandably worried and decided to quickly take it off the market... Of course, a few months later the housing market decided to go absolutely bonkers. So my dad prepped the cabin to sell again. He had an offer in. Then literally, the next day Mono winds ripped through CA and knocked a giant pine tree over and straight through the cabin's roof. My dad thinks it's his mom (my grandma) telling him not to sell the cabin because she loved it. Nature is definitely telling us to get out. But I just quietly laugh at my dad's timing. (Don't worry, he laughs too.) I know these are two examples of events that are well out of his control, but his timing has been like this as far back as I can remember. I have a buddy who I was talking to about Bitcoin. He sold his Bitcoins a couple months ago at $25k. It's now at $47k. Bad timing for sure. What's the point? Neither my dad nor my friend are too worried about "what could have been." Timing is not something the successful people I know dwell on. They just keep moving forward making things happen. I see so many people worrying about firing up an ad campaign on Facebook because "It's November. Prices are going to be higher during the holidays. I gotta wait until they're lower." Ask them in March, nothing has happened. I was trying to time the housing market earlier this year and prices here in CA have just straight up gone to the moon. I'm not saying timing is unimportant in life. But timing should be a bit lower on the totem pole when it comes to your list of important factors. If something's right and what you want to do, get going. You have my permission, and my dad's :-) - Derek ---- P.S. Next week I'll be re-opening "Daily Email Income" alongside the the Email-a-Day Challenge. These are my courses (and a separate 7 day challenge) on writing engaging emails to your list at least 5x a week. Â
