It doesn't make a lot of sense

It doesn't make a lot of sense to spend days and days choosing your blog's theme if you don't even know what you're going to write about.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to spend hundreds of dollars on a logo if you don't even know how people are going to find out about you and what you do.

Just like it doesn't make a lot of sense to pay a lawyer to draft your terms & conditions if you don't even have a single client, yet.

It also doesn't make a lot of sense to think about all kinds of business insurances to buy if you haven't even started your business, yet.

But don't get me wrong here....

All of these things are important.

But not when you're just getting started.

All that really matters when you're just getting started is that you actually really do get started.

And that you don't get lost in all the details.

Details that don't really get you any closer to getting started.

Details that will lead to even more details.

Details that will in the end lead to not a lot more than a perfect plan.

A plan that's so perfect that it will never be implemented.

Perfect is just another form of hiding.

Hiding from getting started, doing your work and ultimately shipping your work...
