I can't until… That's the trap I caught myself in this week. And I didn't even notice until my coach pointed it out. Yesterday on a call, he asked me a very simple question: "When is your software going to ship?" We've been building a desktop version for months. I kept finding new things to improve. I wanted it perfect. His challenge stopped me: "This is what you've been telling me every single week." That's when it hit me. Duh. Why am I stuck on constantly making it better instead of getting it out? I've been an entrepreneur for 30 years. We literally have a saying at our company: published is better than perfect. And I forgot it on my own project. So I grabbed a sticky note and wrote down dates. Onboarding done August 28th. Staff testing September 4th. I arbitrarily made the dates. Then I told my staff — and everybody got in line. There's nothing like an actual deadline to get everyone focused. Including me. You can't predict until. Set the deadline, push for it. If you miss it, change it. But you gotta have a deadline. So let me ask you: What's stopping you from shipping? Do you have a deadline?
