"Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton gave us three laws of motion, which were the work of genius. But Sir Isaac’s talents didn’t extend to investing: He lost a bundle in the South Sea Bubble, explaining later, ‘I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.’ If he had not been traumatized by this loss, Sir Isaac might well have gone on to discover the Fourth Law of Motion: For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases" ~ Warren Buffett
Broschka > I understand the need for results and completion of tasks in route to success, but know haste and aggressive forcing of outcomes does not achieve outcomes faster. Rather, serves to interfere and postpone the very progress sought. I believe there is a logical order of tasks with dependencies and natural connection; while it would seem ideal to finish everything at once my mind of interconnected parts sees a progression of logical priorities.
I understand there is a sense of urgency via the infamous "window of opportunity" but I also believe that innovation that is truly innovation not a copy or imitation has no extra needed expediency beyond the well thought out pace by which to put the best position forward to the best target market at the time when best ready. However, this can't take forever, either!
Increased motion (for the sake of rushed action only) decreases returns!
As they say, haste makes waste!

Disclaimer, this is Broschka's interpretation of the quote (yes, perhaps taken out of context) in connection to her personal journey to launch a new product/service in the fitness market with partner Phil Martens which by far whether in tangible dollars or blood, sweat and tears is her personal greatest investment to date!
