Another, canonical quote on this topic comes from General George S. Patton:

“A good plan violently executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week”

Lisa! I love you – and your secrets! If I helped encourage you to build out lisabarone.com, I have no regrets! Clearly I’m not alone here…

Lisa, I say go for it, fill it with RSS and Flickr feeds and whatever you want – who knows what the outcome is, it’s the experience that counts. I can assure you I’m no professional blogger, I work my butt off at an agency, and have 2 kids to raise. I get intimidated by thought of posting something completely ridiculous and the criticism I would endure. But taking action is better than no action at all. We’re all friends in the long run. Do it!

That is indeed great advice for any conference goer, book reader, or business that pays for consulting of any sort.

How many people spend (or is it waste?) money on those things and never implement a thing? We as speakers, teachers, consultants and book writers WANT you to implement what you learn.

I’m sure that not being able to do it perfectly does stop some people (like Lisa), but for others it’s inertia or maybe just procrastination. Nike certainly has the right idea with “Just DO it!”

I say, you should rock the kubrick theme on lisabarone.com and just start writing! If you have content, a design will come soon enough, who cares! Listen to Elizabeth!
