A good plan violently executed right now is far better than the perfect plan executed next week. That’s a quote from General George Patton.
You must start now and get the ball rolling. Once you start moving, you’ll be able to make things more perfect and steer the ship. Long-term planning isn’t just a vague idea that might need to happen in the future, it is important.
Too often we get stuff making plans and never starting to execute them. Get the ball rolling first. Clean up your plans and processes second. Work out long-term plans third. Don’t get it backward.
