In this entry in the ongoing axioms mini-series, Steve shares a story from his mentor Terry Wheat about learning as a child that delaying a simple cleanup task just meant a much bigger mess later, once foot traffic scattered the debris around the house.
He applies that lesson to business: the tendency to put off launching a product, hiring a person, or deploying a system, and how procrastination compounds the longer it's avoided. He also touches on the flip side, not rushing things before they're actually needed.
A quick, practical listen for anyone who knows exactly what they've been putting off.
