There are a huge number of checklist items that a pilot needs to cover before their plane can take off.
And it’s tempting to think the same of our next adventure – writing a book, publishing a course, or even starting a business. But the people we hope to take with us, are unlikely to need the check-in, a safety briefing, or insurance cover. Build the runway and only then worry about how (or if) you are going to take off.
