Why is this advice so damn hard to follow? I guess it's our ego that stops us from launching before we have something that's fully polished. Or worse, our ego that stops us from ever putting something out in the wild just because it isn't perfect. I guess it's best just to follow the advice of Reid Hoffman, "If your not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late." It certainly worked for him...

If it's our ego that stops us, maybe we just need a little assurance that a failure isn't the end of the world. So, has anyone ever been really burned by putting out something that wasn't ready-for primetime?
