It's always all in the preparation!

Next time you have a project that's dear to your heart, plan it well. Spend all the time you can to study it, run it under a vast variety of conditions and configurations.

Let it sit for a while. Discuss it with other people involved. Listen to their feedback, implement their good idea and also make sure to check out their weirdest ones including your very own.

Always be wary but never let doubt invade your thoughts, maintain a very positive and proactive outlook. Test your project, if needed fine tune it further and when it feels good, give it go.

Just like any paint job; 95% is in the preparation, the remainder is good execution!
