Working in uncertainty
Thursday, December 5, 2019 at 8:53AM
A phrase often heard in the startup world and a mantra of entrepreneurs striving to make forward progress is 'start before you’re ready'. It’s a motto that can apply to many of us.
OK not surgeons or pilots!
Yet we can spend (waste?) a lot of time waiting for the ‘right’ time, or waiting until we ‘feel right’ or for the right path to appear.
If we keep waiting for the most perfect and ideal conditions or we do all that ‘busy work’ that isn’t about launching or shipping or changing something, then we will be waiting... forever.
Things may not ever be 100% finished or ready; we'll have to start, launch, print, send, go before we feel ready ... or are ready.
Most things aren't certain when you're working in uncertainty.
Q: Why do you think we can be fearful to start before we're ready? Leave a comment below sharing your thoughts.
