More Quotes by  Clayton M. Christensen

For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. “Someday is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it’s important to you and you want to do it “eventually, just do it and correct course along the way.

Timothy Ferriss

Lots of companies don’t succeed over time. What do they fundamentally do wrong? They usually miss the future.
