How Do You Plan and Make Decisions When Starting a Business?

[Unfastened]

I have a few questions about your planning and decision-making process.

When starting a business, do you jump straight into execution, or do you first sketch out a paper or visual prototype of your ideas?

Do you usually take time to think through how you’ll solve problems or unmet needs before taking action?

And finally, what’s your go-to method for making decisions quickly while still keeping the most impact?
