Is It Worth It?
In the past, when I thought about building a web application, I had a huge resistance to the idea of outsourcing 100% of the development work. The first fear that pops into my mind: What if I pay for all this work and the application is not a success?
Thinking about that, I started to develop a new question: Why do I worry so much about the payoff when my investment is money, but I worry a lot less about the payoff when the investment is my time and energy?
Know what you are building. Know what you are doing and why. What’s the payoff?
I don’t want to waste $10,000 on a development project that doesn’t pay off. But my weekends and evenings are even more valuable than my cash. Don’t spend all your time tweaking and hoping, fiddling and wondering. Make a plan and carry it out.
It’s worth it.
