Stay away from the low hanging fruit

When just starting out, it’s a little overwhelming being surrounded by all the decisions that have to be made, especially when some simple decisions seem so ripe for the plucking…

But realize that from time to time it’s OK to hang in there and resist the urge to pick the low hanging fruit. Just because you have one good idea doesn’t mean you have to act immediately (ie: don’t buy a domain name as soon as you think of one potentially good one). You might just save yourself some time and $$$ in the end. (Sometimes it’s best to learn from mistakes, right?)

ps: Need more reasons to be wary of the low hanging fruit?

“An inexperienced picker would pick the low-hanging fruit first,” Pell says. “But an experienced picker would know to start at the top.” The reason: starting low makes the picker’s job harder, not easier. “If you’re experienced, you rest the bag - which is around your neck and shoulders - on the ladder. You fill it as you go down, so it’s full when you get to the bottom.”
