Have you any advice for dealing with perfectionists,incrementalists and other nano-planners. I realise there's fear invloved, although of what I'm not sure. Maybe there's a pill for this.

And I've spend considerable amounts of time perfecting products that never saw the day's light, or never found a single customer. After a couple of those experiences I learned about the Ready, Fire, Aim approach, and it surely saved me from a lot of wasted efforts. Thanks for bringing that point home again. Joe Paz Hi Michael,

I tend to fall into the perfectionism trap too. And I’ve spend considerable amounts of time perfecting products that never saw the day’s light, or never found a single customer.

After a couple of those experiences I learned about the Ready, Fire, Aim approach, and it surely saved me from a lot of wasted efforts.

Thanks for bringing that point home again.
