Start your upstream efforts now
from Upstream: The Quest to Solve Problems Before They Happen by Dan Heath
It will take some time for you to succeed at upstream efforts, so it’s best to start early. While it might be demotivating to have to wait so long to see any real results, it’s important to stay positive and always focus on how you can create positive change.
How to Apply This

Commit to taking action immediately
-
Be patient
It will take some time before you start to see the impact of your actions -
