Are you working hard to avoid starting?

So you have the great idea, the great artistic venture but you are stuck in planning mode.
It is easy to get lost in planning and scheming, to spend countless hours working on the plan, but never executing.
Yes a good plan is important but the reason you have this desire to express yourself in a business or artistic venture is not to keep planning but to ship.
Stop planning and ship,  You need to start somewhere and you need to get away from the trap of perfection.
It is never going to be perfect it is never going to be without flaws.
Once you can accept that your venture has it holes and it is without perfection you can start working on what really matters.  What really matters is your product or service or art, not perfection but letting it go as is and growing from there.  Time will still go by, but it is what you do with it that counts.
Get it out there in all it's flaws and holes and missing pieces and work on improving as you go.  It is far More important to launch and learn than to keep holding back because you feel you can do just a little better.
