There have been businesses that I sit on for such a long time, it’s insane. Some times years even pass before they get executed on. I let them marinate, I let them refine.

And then there’s the other side of things: me and Jerome Jarre have dinner, and literally the next day there’s a talent agency for Vine stars, Grape Story.

It really depends on the business and both options have merit. AJ and I thought for ten or eleven months before starting VaynerMedia. Little known fact: before starting VM, we were probably on third base in starting a fantasy sports site. True story. But in the end, VM won out. We marinated and VaynerMedia happened in lieu of everything else.

Really it comes down to the idea, and it comes down to the timing. I’ve got ideas that are running through my head right now but I know the timing is bad because I have so much other stuff going on. In fact, timing might be the more important factor. Are you ready? Do you have the time? The biggest failures in my business career have been when I bit off more than I could chew. Think about that. Remember it. Choose your battles.
