The following is an excerpt from the book "Rework", a fantastic book that I highly recommend.

Do you really need ten people or will two or three do for now?

Do you really need $500,000 or is $50,000 (or $5,000) enough for now?

Do you really need six months or can you make something in two?

Do you really need a big office or can you share office space (or work from home) for a while?

Do you really need a warehouse or can you rent a small storage space (or use your garage or basement) or outsource it completely?

Do you really need to buy advertising and hire a PR firm or are there other ways to get noticed?

Do you really need to build a factory or can you hire someone else to manufacture your products?

Do you really need an accountant or can you use Quicken and do it yourself?

Do you really need an IT department or can you outsource it?

Do you really need a full-time support person or can you handle inquiries on your own?

Do you really need to open a retail store or can you sell your product online?

Do you really need fancy business cards, letterhead, and brochures or can you forego that stuff?
