Good, Fast, Cheap… Pick Any Two We never have time to do it right, but we always have time to do it over….. and over….. and over….. I hear time and time again. Just get it done right now, we’ll fix it later. — The problem is that later never comes, and the product is only “fixed” after a very expensive product recall. By then it is too late and significant market share has been lost as well as the reputation of the brand. Trying to save a few bucks in product development can cost millions in product recalls.

The Pregnant Woman Theory If one woman can make a baby in 9 months, then 9 women can make a baby in 30 days. Now you may laugh, but this is the most common problem in developing a new product. Throwing more resources at the problem and praying it goes away does not solve anything.

You Never Run Out Of Things That Go Wrong There will always be an endless supply of challenges and things that go wrong. Pretending there aren't any problems doesn't make them go away.

My mom is one of my role models in a complicated way. I learned from her how to be a good mom. She was one of those natural moms who really took to it. Her chosen profession was teaching.

The truth is Floridians and Montanans have more in common than you might think.
