One more tip I would add is this: don't take on the entire task at once. To get started, agree that you will work on the new project/business for just one minute a day in the first month (January), the two minutes in the 2d month (Feb.). Now of course, someone really enthused will stay at the task more than a minute or two but setting ridiculously small goals to meet, you gain the encouragement to build up the time and habit to do the task on a grander scale.

I especially like the SWOT. I have kind of done that, but not in a serious way. Also the last point is well taken - Start sooner than later. That really seems to be my problem. I procrastinate, over analyze, and do everything other than actually getting started. Thanks for the wisdom! Excellent points. I especially like the SWOT.
