The dynamic duo have learned that sometimes their creative eyes are much bigger than their creative capacities. This realization came about during a chat about the Gifted Underachievers merch store and how it may have been better to launch lean than try to fill out multiple categories.

In essence, go from the exciting idyl to the satisfying achievement. How?

* Be specific.

* Know your capacity for new work.

* Know your audience.

* Simplicity functions better than complexity.

Questions for Listeners:

* Do you have lots of unfinished projects?

* Us, too. Do you think whittling down the scope would help?
