4.2.2012 – Ready, Set, Now!

One of things I do in my spare time when I’m not writing this blog is perform stand-up comedy. Tonight I went to a show to support a friend on the bill. The producer generously offered me stage time if I wanted it. I, of course said yes! Us comedians LOVE stage time! I hadn’t planned on performing, so I felt a bit unprepared. Mostly because I knew that the jokes I told on a regular basis probably wouldn’t fly with this audience and I needed to pull some things out I hadn’t done in a while. As a result I felt a little rusty. I had a pretty good set, but just didn’t feel as ready as I normally would on a show.

This is another lesson in luck. As I mentioned in a previous blog, luck is when preparedness meets opportunity. As life happens, possibilities reveal themselves to us. We don’t always know what or when. From my experience tonight I learned that I need to be practiced not not only with my frequently presented sets, but also alternative sets so that I can more confidently pull out lesser used jokes from my repertoire on short notice.

With the important lesson of preparedness in mind, if you think you will ever be in the market to buy property, whether your first or an additional piece of real estate, it is never too early to get prepared. The more ready you are, the less likely you are to miss a golden opportunity.
