Sounds like a movie title... actually it is the name of a song by Mike and the Mechanics. But a time and place in this context has everything to do with things you choose.
During the time you choose to "work", you will inherently be somewhere. But where? Do you (will you) have a place that is free of distraction? Are you willing to turn off the television and focus? Can you find a space in your home to go to and close the door? The obvious implication here is that you will enhance your chances of success if you do.
If you work a day job, the obvious thing is that you will need to focus on your business during the evening. If you work second shift, the reverse is true. Understanding "time" is more important to your success than just about any other factor. You will need to consciously choose to alter the way you have lived your life. This means choosing to invest hours of your day(s) in different ways.
This change and sacrifice will reward you with success. And, here's the truth: most people can't do it. The question is whether you can. I talk about this change as the core element that people need to embrace and understand. No change, no difference, no success. It is that fundamental.
Therefore, a time and place has everything to do with doing something different. Where you are in your house at 7 pm is an indicator that you are taking this seriously. Not on the sofa in front of the TV, but in your bedroom at a make-shift desk. Not hanging out with pals on Social Media, or playing computer games, but locked into meeting a daily goal that will build your business.
Consciously choose to create a different life. At first, there is NO reward. The reward is the change itself. You need to believe that the change will pay off. I am not going to tell you it will... you need to develop your own belief. The closest I will come is to say that your discipline and commitment will be the best measure of the level of success you will have.
The best place to start is understanding a time and place.
