Startups in 13 Sentences by Paul Graham: "2. Launch fast. The reason to launch fast is not so much that it's critical to get your product to market early, but that you haven't really started working on it till you've launched.

Launching teaches you what you should have been building. This biggest issue with not launching is the presumption that you know what you should be working on. I strongly recommend you read Lean Startup . . . don't skim it. Read it.
