Do not wait. The time will never be 'just right'. Start where you stand, work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

We who desire to accumulate riches, should remember the real leaders of the world always have been men who harnessed, and put into practical use, the intangible, unseen forces of unborn opportunity, and have converted those forces, [or impulses of thought], into sky-scrapers, cities, factories, airplanes, automobiles, and every form of convenience that makes life more pleasant.

When you begin to THINK AND GROW RICH, you will observe that riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness of purpose, with little or no hard work.

Every form has its merits. And I like to work in a lot of different forms.
