I told her to skip all the stuff she was planning and just go get her first clients. Stop developing materials, researching the market, building a website. Go make a sale. One sale. I just checked in with her and... 18 months later she's still working on that website. I am launching a new business. I have the crappiest website. I put 99% of my energy into getting to first revenue. I'm six weeks in. In two weeks I will know if there's room in the market for me or if I'm on the wrong track. If I fail here, I probably fold, but at least I know. Exactly! I think it was Kiyosaki who said that you don't need a perfect logo or a polished brand; you just need to sell the product or service. Clarity comes from doing, not planning. Priorities make or break momentum. Respect for focusing on revenue first — that's the real MVP move!
