The stars rarely align perfectly for any worthwhile objective. The best way to make things happen is to make things happen and figure it out as you go. That doesn't mean you quit your six-figure job tomorrow to go and start the next Nike or Gatorade. But it does mean that you take whatever action step you can take where you are.
It also means being willing to challenge your comfort zone. If you don't have the blessing (or the curse) of golden shackles, then it may be prudent for you to be even more aggressive. Maybe take two or three action steps if possible.
