Your Hueristics are at the core. I love the way you differentiate. Those things that aren’t irreversable not only allow you to “redo” but also allow you to benefit from the learnings that got you there. Sometimes, it’s the failures or mistakes that lead to the successess.

Great post.

It looks as though you and I have the same taste in layout, no? I’ve written about this subject many times and could not agree more. Too often, CEOs and small business managers suffer from analysis paralysis. This happens for any number of reasons. Some are afraid of making the wrong decision. Others feel it’s necessary to know ALL the variables before making a decision and executing. The problem is that you can check the pool’s thermostat all day long but you’re never going to know just how warm the pool is until you take the plunge.

Would you be interested in guest posting?

The importance of which cannot be underestimated – I’ve seen many companies making fast decisions, very few that measure the effects and adapt.

Have you seen Mike Cassidy’s excellent talk, “Speed as THE primary business strategy”?
