"Execution is king." - MJ DeMarco

I have many great ideas. I also am a perfectionist. Every time I consider starting a new project I immediately see it's flows: not enough money/time/knowledge, return of investment too small, market might be saturated and so on. And while looking for solutions to all those problems I always come up with a "better" idea than the last last one. This is why I've never been able to complete a personal project.

Like Einstein said: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results".

I have decided to take a 180 degrees turn in mentality. Execution is king. At the moment I have a couple of projects that I'm working on. I won't stop untill I get them finished, no matter what other brilliant ideas I might have in the meantime. I am committed to both of them.

I hope that this thread will help me keep focused, and it will help you learn from my mistakes and achivements.

Best of luck,
ihulub
