John’s Inspirational Quote

“People wait until…until…until…They wait, and they wait, and they wait, until that fateful day when they wake up and realize that while they were sitting around, paying dues, earning their keep, waiting for that elusive “perfect time,” their entire life has passed them by… There is no greater time than now to start moving toward achieving your goals.  Don’t wait. Start stuff.”
