You don’t have to “be ready” to launch a project. Getting ready can be the project. Too many people catch themselves in the trap of needing to have things in a certain state in order to undertake something meaningful. They have great project management skills, but they gatekeep their ideal project behind a wall of minor issues. “I want to work on my project car, but my tools are disorganized.”
Okay, so then that’s the project!
Start closer to home, closer to the present. Don’t make the ideal project impossible by getting frustrated at the little tidbits in between.
