Let’s face it! If you start something new, there will always be some bugs to work out. No matter how well you plan, you can’t expect to make allowances for every conceivable obstacle.
- Technology never quite works the way you expect
- There will be some misunderstandings between the team
- Get used to expecting the unexpected
- Weather and other natural causes may strike without notice
- You may not realize how many people are affected by the launch or know how they will react.
If you’re waiting for perfect circumstances, it will never launch. Even if you are able to plan for every possible obstacle, you’ll be disappointed because most of them will never come to be.
Expect a few bugs if you launch anything new. Be fine with it. It’s part of the process. Success comes from addressing the bugs and working them out. Flawless launches may mean you set your goal too low.
