You hear a lot about uncertainty. And both parties share responsibility for that, whether it's Dodd-Frank (most of which remains unimplemented), the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (which has been reaffirmed repeatedly) or the media inside joke we call the fiscal cliff. No one wants to invest, do business or expand because, simply put, no one knows what's going to happen next.

But that argument only works up to a point. And I'm a little tired of hearing that, too, by the way. Nobody promised you tomorrow. We all live—and work—under clouds of uncertainty every day, but every once in while we get a silver lining.

And it's not like there aren't any certainties. In fact, do we even need MSNBC or Fox News anymore? I mean, unless it's about immigration, we know what each side's gonna say before they even say it. The talking points have become rote recitations of reductive reasoning – not to mention boring.

But as far as we're concerned, we know January brings the mandates, exchanges and a flood of new customers. That much we know. It's also a pretty safe bet the feds will change at least some of the rules as we go along. (And I can guarantee you; none of them will make it easier for you to business.)

To revisit Gabriel, he once said, “He who awaits much can expect little.” We can spend the rest of our lives waiting. Or we can get out there and make our own way. I don't expect much—at least for myself—but I know I'm sick of waiting.
