I turn 29 in a few weeks. When I turned 27 I wrote a post similar to yours http://oonwoye.com/2010/01/12/a-birthday-rant-why-i-feel-too.... I planned to go full throttle with my startup that year. However, some circumstances made me leave the startup. I am just getting back on track.

Here is what has made me move so fast and stay focused in the past 2 months. I struck myself a deal. If I do not launch anything, I will not blog, Tweet or Facebook. Things I loved doing but gave me room for distraction. I suggest you do same.

Next year is my last year at doing something great "in my twenties" it is so symbolic for me. So I hope that my efforts will pay off this coming year.

I leave you with this quote.

"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is NOW"
