Advice from "Ready, Fire!, Aim"

Sales are more important than having a perfectly polished product. Sell! Learn to sell. Even Harvard Business School doesn't adequately convey how important this skill is.

Just throw yourself so deeply into what needs to be done that you forget about your fears. Every successful business owner learns how to do this. What makes it easier is knowing that experience will always be your best teacher.
