Small Steps Add Up To Big Things
I previously worked at a company that installed custom kitchens. The owner of the company had a good structured 
system set up of how we did the jobs. We would completely tear out these old kitchens right down to the bare walls and sometimes to the framing studs. The cabinets, appliances and everything, including the kitchen sink was removed. Than, we would do upgrades to the plumbing and electrical before we would rebuild the kitchen! It was defiantly a job that for the most part, was a series of processes. It had to be done in order of sequence for things to go accordingly.
Once I had everything staged, which was usually in the living room or a side bedroom, I joined them in the kitchen to help with the more significant work. This work consisted of attaching the cabinets together and mounting the cabinet banks on the walls. This work of mounting the cabinets was made much easer and went with out hitch, mostly because of the earlier prep work that was done! The cabinet doors were retrieved , remounted and aligned only after the heavy dirty work was done.
This is a good example of how planning ahead and spending some time on the small things first, goes a long ways to having a nice finished product. Projects are usually always done on time and with no mistakes. The custom kitchen projects always turned out cherry and the customers were very happy.

SOO TRUE. My dad always half a**es things and then I have to re-do it all simply because he didn’t take the time to “build a good foundation” on the project.

one of the best steps that you could add to your plans for online success is to add your site after doing all what is right on it (as you mentioned ) to a business directory that could help promote it world wide … I recommend that you add site to http://uk.ezilon.com/uk/business/index.shtml .. that will help to expose your net business all over
best luck to all

I’ll stick with my normal half arsed approach despite the wisdom of your words. For some people if you don’t just jump in and tackle everything head first you’ll never get anything done… Sure the result isnt as good, but this is the add generation.

Hi pinoy,
Sure it takes all types or ways of thinking to make the world go round.. No problem really! As I have made thousand upon thousands of dollars going back into to projects of all types and fixing things after they had been cobbled together the first time around.
I removed your site link by the way as it was setting off my virus guard and was trying to install a trojan on my system.
You page has an Exploit-IFrame embedded on it. I do not link to, nor like, exploits of any kind. I used some of the money I have made to buy and run the best Anti-Virus protection software that money can buy. I will not allow that site link to stay here like that.
Clean up your page first please. Before tying to post a link to it from my site!

My Aunt wants mw to stain the oustside of her house what prep work do i have to do. I am a painter but I have never stained a house before. will the stain adhere to the cocking? please any info will help.

Ryder reply on February 18th, 2009 10:09 pm:
I would probably recommend to pressure wash the old siding first. This will help to remove any old peeling paint and grime. After pressure wash be sure to let it dry a few days before applying the stain..
Is there any old paint on the house now?
Also be careful using pressure washer around windows and other things. Just use the pressure mostly all on the main broad face of siding planks, fascia and trim. Not on any delicate features.

I really like this post. Planning is not something that comes naturally to me but I can see how important it is. It sounds like all this planning and preparation acutally saved work at the end of the day by reducing mistakes and things needing to be done again. Great post!

I agree, nice little things to consider.

It is really important to plan ahead of time if you have an important project or event at hand. It is not good to rush things up without planning on what needs to be done to complete a project. By the way, the kitchen looks really nice.

Paciense is not a virtue when you are out of money and need one way links to grow your business Q N D rocks!

It’s the same with money. $5 doesn’t seem like much but spend it on soda every day after the month’s over you’ve suddenly waste 150$ on pointless (and unhealthy) stuff. It’s the same with work – 5 minutes on email here, 10 minutes on blogs there and suddenlty you’ve wasted 4 hours instead of working.

Good post! Preparation is very important to save time and not to have a total failure at the end of a project! I think that being smart also comes into place here!

I for one prefer to prep all my food before I eat it.
I prep plants before I plant them, trees included.
I prep myself when I go to a meeting, so I don’t sound dumb.
I didn’t however prep my response here, and it probably reads so-so.

What a lovely article! I share the same sentiment about crafting a plan before dealing with any project for a more dynamic outcome.

Hi Ryder,
Well put. I tend to go between what your saying here and a mode of just pulling out all stops to get as much out of your time as possible.
For example, if I’m wanting to put a new site online, spending sometimes up to a month or two understanding the market, what others are doing and what you can do that will add value to the area is very benificial and neccessary, but then once I’ve done that and move to development, I then like to just use that knowledge to get as much finctionality as quickly as possible.
Both are good in their time and place…

Yes, I totally agree. You can’t skip steps when you doing any project. And, the first step is so important even the small one.
It is so true, you have to have patience and take one step at a time to “build a good foundation” on any project.

I’ve made the mistake in some projects of leaving one or more of these questions unanswered. The result was confusion toward the end of the project. The client would hit me with questions I was unprepared for, or I would run into technical incompatibilities with what I was developing. This isn’t good and will blur the finish line for your project as you run around trying to come up with alternative plans at the last moment.
