Jason, regarding your heading -- it is Ready, FIRE, Aim, Fire. You pull the trigger even when you don't know exactly what you are shooting at. Then, and this is very important, you pause to recollect yourself and inspect the damage, now that you have a better idea what you are shootiing at you Aim and fire again. You keep repeating this until you are on target.
Two common misstakes are analysis paralysis. Trying to assess all the unklnowns before starting. Or, getting so caught up in what you do that you don't realize you are wasting ammunication.
In this latter area, accounting plays a big part. Many people go into business and don't know if they are making a profit or not because they are running their business by their checkbook balance. This is a common failing of contractors.
