Measure Twice, Cut Once works in business, too.
My husband has been rebuilding our garage shelving. You could store dead bodies on them. He likes to build things one time and not have to back to fix shoddy work. With the 105 temperatures he was a bit lax on the regular, measure twice - cut once rule. I'm working with a few clients on new designs and launches of large projects. I'm finding the same rule applies to creative projects. I'd rather have my clients sit with a design for a week and really think about what should change and their needs, modifications, etc. rather than jump on their first reactions, and then redo it several times. Many times we end back to a similar place where we started and sometimes we scrap it and start over.
