Be sure to invest

You come and ask someone to build you an F1 car. You shouldn’t expect to get the car in 3 or 4 days.

You want the car to be the most beautiful? Add weeks of design. You need the car to actually be fast? Add maybe years of design. You need the car to become an icon so everybody may recognize it? Add months of testing and communication.

This metaphor is valid to any requirement. You want a company agile, self managed, ambitious, recognized, profitable, etc? It takes a lot of effort, a lot of money and a lot of time. If you requested the whole enchilada, then you can’t expect to get it after no expenditure of effort, time and resources.

Be sure to invest so you may get what you imagined.
