Want your project/organisation to be viable long-term? It needs a plan for the immediate phase, and it needs to dream about subsequent phases.
Many startups get this wrong, in both directions.
Either *everything* is a dream, so nothing is ever concretely decided or acted on (and the constraints are not apprehended and processed).
Or the *only* thing that matters is the current plan, which causes tunnel vision.
Success requires planning and dreaming working in harmony.
Also.
Incremental growth.
Let nature be a guide. Nothing works if you try to fulfill a dream all at once.
"A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a simple system."
