I often hear people say that sometimes having options can be more difficult than not having options, but in a business context, I wholeheartedly disagree. Even in the small (300k total accounts or so) project I founded (that I just killed off), I still had to plan multiple steps ahead. Just because something wasn't realizable at a given moment, did not mean I didn't have to make decisions. In fact, I had to make more decisions: "Once A, B, and C are complete, I need to find funding. If I get funding from X, then I can proceed with Y. If X falls through buy N gives me funding, I'll do Z because of M. If both come through, then I'm limited by H and J, and therefore I'll go with either Q or W." Obviously, it's more complicated than this, and sometimes my mental maps gave me headaches - but what I'm trying to illustrate is that once you have something solid, I think things become simpler. Instead of planning for a myriad of possibilities, you only need to make one or two per instance.
