Friday was a large moment in our company's short history.
We decided to halt our launch, rid ourselves of unsubstantiated deadlines, continue to forge ahead with what we were building, and shed ourselves of pre-conceived constraints.
Without going into too much detail, the decision was very painful, but very right.
We had been worrying so much about executing that we stopped doing what made us so successful at execution.
That said, the decision came soon enough, but not as soon as it should have.
The very foundation of our organization (open communication that challenges and builds) went missing for a short period of time, and left us trying to find our groove again.
Luckily for us, we've all had enough experience at ideating our way through tough times.
After all, 'you don't throw people at problems, you throw ideas'.
We were focused, jovial, conscious of what happened, encouraged by our solution, and eager to continue building while leaving our past hiccup behind us.
It was a great sign, and more proof that we are indeed onto something special.

Better prepared to live what tomorrow brings.
