Stop waiting for the perfect time. It's already over-saturated with too many people waiting in line. Rather, take this (imperfect) time you already have and consistently act with it. Soon, you'll realise that 'perfect time' is merely an illusion to keep you waiting perpetually.
What a man can do, another man may struggle and still be unable to do.
Know your SWOT so you can harness your own potentials, as against competiting in areas you are at a disadvantage.
If you want to start a business in Nigeria, you had better have time to be on ground, else, you'd be pouring scarce funds into an endless pit. I heard a lot from different people that re-emphasized this view I have held for a while.

You cannot be greater than the personality you internalize. You are the image of yourself you carry in your mind. This transcends mere wishes. How you see yourself influences your behaviour. If you think of yourself as capable, you act in ways that reinforce capability.
Decide to live your life, to leave no stone unturned. Hold yourself to the standards that will lead you in the direction of fulfilment. Explore as many options as you can. If you make it, good. If not, you will be convinced you did your best.
No 'people strength' is built on nothing. For networks to function efficiently, each party must contribute meaningfully. Unless you are hoping to leech on others (and you'll soon become ostracized), you must aim to be a person of value in and to any relationship...
There is a saying that has stayed with me for many years, 'If you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go far, go in a team'. Traveling the course of life all by yourself could give you speed, which is superb. But, what happens when you run out of steam?
