I learned today that Oren Harari, author of ‘Break From The Pack‘, has died.

Amazingly, he actually passed away in April of this year but I only found out today when I checked in on his website. My thought had been “I haven’t seen a blog post from Oren for a while”. Such is how we miss people in this internet age, eh?

I wanted to share a story with you. Since we completed the first ‘Break From The Pack’ programme almost two years ago, I created a task for my action list entitled ‘Share learnings from BFTP with Oren Harari’. I thought it would be a nice thing to do to collect some of the insights & applications that had been generated by the group and to feed them back to him. I know if I had written a book like that, I’d appreciate hearing how people were using the ideas to develop their own businesses and careers. And as each group graduated, more and more material accumulated.

And here’s the thing. I never sent it to him.

I know. I can hear some of you making wisecracks already about doing my own course on Overcoming Procrastination. But, I never did it. And the opportunity is now gone.

So, don’t wait until the ‘right’ time. Don’t put off ‘breaking from the pack’ until next year or when the bond spreads are different or whatever the reason du jour may be. Get going and do it now. As we’re often reminded, we only have one shot at living our lives so let’s make the most of it!
