Optimism is essential to launch big projects.
Realism is required to deliver good work on time and budget.
It’s easy to start a big project and harder to finish.
Hope is not a strategy. Develop and commit to a realistic budget and schedule to achieve your goal.
Big things tend to cost more and take longer to achieve than we think! 🌔
