Fail fast

2024 Jun 28

Hmmm

 

No time to reasonably think through

But enough time to fail and correct

 

Why call it fail

Why not learn

 

And why fast

Why not slow

 

Does fail fast take us to an imaginary end point faster

Who are the folks who practise it

Entrepreneurs, Startups, Space agencies, Surgeons, Pilots and Plumbers?

 

How about focusing on the basics and doing the right things

Calibrating your actions, standing at the intersection of intention and reality, short term and long term, people and processes, product and customers, profitability and growth

 

Why rush from one milestone to another

When like shadows, failure & success, accompany you at every step

 

Embrace your context

Act accordingly

Not fast, not slow
