The Art of the Start

A couple of months ago I saw Guy Kawasaki's book, "The Art of the Start" on my friend Shyla's desk so I decided to pick it up and it's great!

In it Guy says, "It's not how great you start - it's how great you end up."

I know I have stalled starting things because I didn't feel I was ready or I didn't feel that it was as good as I wanted it to be so these words sure rang true for me.

Start things when they're "good enough" - then work to make them better!

Guy is a great author...and he makes a good point. I talk about how I observed this to be true in the people I've interviewed. You have to live life as a verb...and living as a verb means not waiting for perfection. I am good at doing this is some areas but am challenged by it in others.
