I’ve heard it said many times it’s more important to get started than to have something perfect.
A corollary is “experiment small to discover the unexpected big.” Often we have the tendency to project an idea into the future and imagine where it will go, but the reality is we really have no way to know where, or even if an idea will go or even work. In the spirit of quick, fast and lean, start small with a quick and dirty experiment and then scale up from there. Your results will tell you what your next best step might be. Remember this is about getting something done that you can measure and take delight in.
So, when you have what you think will be a big idea, start small, leverage it with others and see if it takes hold and grows. Who knows what will happen? Your idea might turn out to be a big thing after all.
