Stuck on decisions? 🚨 Use my Red Light, Green Light framework: 🚦 RED LIGHT (Stop immediately): - Requires money you don't have - Needs skills you don't have and can't buy - Depends on people saying yes before you start - No way to validate cheaply GREEN LIGHT (Go now): - Can start today with $0-$100 - Uses skills you already have - Doesn't need permission - Can validate in 48 hours YELLOW LIGHT (Investigate): - Interesting but unclear - Need more data - Talk to 5 people first - Build a landing page, see if anyone cares first Most "opportunities" are red lights disguised as green lights. What's one decision you're facing right now? What color is it?

My inbox is full of feature requests. Hundreds of them. I build maybe 10%. Not because I don't care. Because I care about focus. My filter: 1. Will this help more than 30% of users? 2. Does this align with our core value prop? 3. Can we build it in under 2 weeks? 4. Will it increase retention or conversion? If any answer is no, it goes to the "maybe later" pile. Features are easy to add, but sometimes impossible to remove. Say no more often. What request should you decline?

Here's a lesson that took me years and multiple failed products to fully internalize: fast shipping beats perfect planning every single time. I've launched 8+ products at this point. Some I obsessed over for 6 months, perfecting every feature, tweaking every pixel, adding "just one more thing" before launch. Others I forced myself to ship in 2 weeks with barely functional MVPs. The results? The products I shipped in 2-4 weeks outperformed the ones I built for 6 months by 5X MRR. Let that sink in. The "ugly" fast launches generated 5X more recurring revenue than my "perfect" slow builds. Why does this happen? A few reasons: 1) Market feedback is everything. When you ship fast, you learn what customers actually want within days. When you build for 6 months, you're guessing for 6 months. Your guesses are usually wrong. 2) Momentum compounds. A live product attracts users, generates word of mouth, ranks in search, builds social proof. A product in development does none of that. Every day you're building instead of shipping is a day your competition is learning from real customers. 3) Motivation dies in long builds. I've watched my own excitement fade on projects that dragged on. By month 4, I was bored. By month 5, I was looking for reasons to pivot. The fast ships kept me energized because I was seeing real results. 4) Features you think matter usually don't. Half the features I spent months building? Users never touched them. The fast launches forced me to ship only the core value prop, and turns out that's all people needed anyway. The hard truth: your product sitting on your computer is worth exactly $0. The same product live, even if broken, is worth infinitely more because it's generating data, users, and revenue. Ship fast. Learn fast. Iterate fast. That's the game. What's something you've been building too long? Maybe it's time to just launch it.
