It’s too late for a lot of things for me. I just turned 60 and I have a new Achilles tendon issue; my back has been hurting in so many different areas; I had just healed my shoulder. So, it’s probably best to accept that there are certain things—such as being a professional tennis player or ultra-marathoner—that I’ll never be able to do. You might be in the same situation: you may feel like it’s too late to meet certain goals.

And you’re right.

In this episode, I explain why it is too late to do what you’re passionate about—and why you have to start doing it now. I reveal various setbacks that prevent you from taking your first step toward your goals. I also share opportunities I missed years ago and the things I’m just starting today, even though I could have begun sooner.

“Life is now. We don’t know if we have tomorrow, so what are you going to do today?” - Mark Silverman
