Checkpoint Activity

This time, your check-in questions are simple. Take this as a pulse check that will reveal if you’re striving for unattainable perfection or running with the start-up spirit. 

  1. Is this innovation best it can be right now?
  2. Is the innovation good enough? (That’s the goal.)
  3. What is one thing you wish you could do differently?
  4. Are you feeling proud and can’t wait to share this with the world or making excuses for how it could be better?
