pretty good article but really could have been a little more in depth. I did however pick up on the references and similarities to Dr. Dre’s career and how it relates to what we do in business. From what I’ve read Dre is a perfectionist and there is nothing wrong with that unless it stands in the way of creativity and prohibits you from actually getting your work done, in his case, releasing a new record. I am the same way, I won’t start a project unless I can devote 100% of my energy to it but there are times when I am just not as productive as I should be because of this. Sometimes you do have to have a starting point and just get your work started and out there because the results could turn out to be much better than you imagined. You can’t always know how someone is going to react to it, in Dre’s case it’s the music. No matter how long you’ve been in your career, you will never know everything there is to know otherwise everyone would be successful, there would be no failures and life would be boring!

I’m already a daily reader of your other blogs Om and this one looks to be great as well! I look forward to being part of this community. Keep up the good work all.

I agree the Sopranos is not the same this season nor was the last season that good either. Your correlation to whacking a business idea or venture though is a good one. I’ve got several ideas, blogs, etc in the works but it’s hard to know when to give up on an idea or to keep truckin. My problem is devoting the necessary time to one while trying to get another project off the ground.

This is so true. I like your in-law test as this is the best way to really test an idea, and your pitch. The less they know about it the better the results although the tougher it makes your sell.
