As others said: Just Do It.

Get started and once you're moving you'll find that momentum takes over. To keep the momentum going, make plans: e.g., plan to work at least 1 hour/day on your startup whether it's coding, marketing, website, etc. Just work on it.

I wouldn't take a vacation to do it unless I was positive I could do most of the work in that time, but you need continuous long term effort, so the sooner you get started, the sooner you can succeed.

Thanks for your comment, I agree the Just do it mentality is going to be my driver... not to mention energy drinks and high focus by Kelly Howell - great brain sync I use to wake myself up, and keep focussed on the tasks at hand
