So Why Don't You Just Do It?

So you have analyzed your business situation. You have your plan ready to put into action. Now what?

The answer is simple correct? You implement your plan, right?

Except...

(Enter reason to delay taking action here.)

The best advise someone can give you at this point in the conversation is the title of this blog entry. Let me frame the situation more clearly. Being rash and going in blind to a situation will probably not help much. However, in the above scenario, the advisee has done his due diligence and prepared a plan.

Unless you are the current CEO of Apple, formulating a plan that is both timely and perfect is not going to happen. Also, waiting for the stars to align before taking action is also not practical.

A friend of mine gave me the "Just Do It" speech today, and he was right.

Newton even has a law regarding this phenomenon. It is his 1st law:

"An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion..."
Newton's 1st law should be the first lesson that every startup workshop should begin with.
