I was reading Dick Costolo's blog (founder of FeedBurner) when I saw the following great quote about starting a company.

The key is to just get on the bike, and the key to getting on the bike is not the confidence in knowing you will be successful if you do x,y,z. The key to getting on the bike is to stop thinking about "there are a bunch of reasons i might fall off" and just hop on and peddle the damned thing. You can pick up a map, a tire pump, and better footwear along the way.

The idea/advice that the best way to start a company is to just jump in and figure everything out along the way is common from nearly every successful entrepreneur. Maybe they're on to something.
