Curbing the enthusiasm

One big challenge I have faced in this fantastic startup journey is to curb my enthusiasm for innovations! It is so tempting to keep adding new things to the product. The key in my opinion is to ALWAYS think of "how to" and just not "what to". Drawing the boundaries (read defining the scope) and getting the product shipping ready should be the sole goal of an early stage company. Nothing is more important than getting feedback from the customers.

Guy Kawasaki's famous quote is quite appropriate for our situation - "If your product is what the first toilet paper was to crumpled leaves, ship baby ship".
