It takes a lot of deliberate work and strategy to build an innovative business.
To really innovate usually involves going deeper to produce a simpler and more coherent solution than what is generally obtainable. This is a lot of work.
The thinking can be much overwhelming.
That is why I like the idea of structuring work in 6 weeks cycles.
It is an idea I got from the great guys at Basecamp. You can read it in full over here.
The basic idea is to handle projects you can tie up within 6 weeks or less.
When I work with clients who are trying to build their innovative business ideas, I always get them to a state where-in they can launch something within 21 days (3 weeks) and then we spend the next 3 weeks on tweaks and initial customer push.
It is just way better to work that way.
It saves us from an endless running without knowing when to stop and catch our breathes.
You will be fine. Just take things 6 weeks at a time.
