How to avoid rushing into starting a business?

[• nikita •]

I'm very impulsive and tend to rush into things without doing enough research or planning first. After reading Unscripted I've set myself deadlines (to avoid procrastination) for coming up with ideas, doing CENTS evaluations on them, and actually starting work. Now I've started narrowing my ideas down and my deadline to pick one is Friday.

However, new ideas keep popping up in my head and I'm worried I'll pick the wrong/not as good idea (I know execution > idea but still).

TL;DR: how do you know when you've done enough planning and research, actually picked the right idea, and aren't just rushing into things?

No need to plan or research or anything. Be impulsive by selling something as fast as you can. That's the only thing that matters. There are multiple ways to try an idea, see what works for you.
