The Rule of Two

I recently received an e-mail from someone who is looking to hire a consultant to do some proposal writing. In the message, she said "we need someone who is good and cheap." I couldn't help but think of the Rule of Two.


The rule is this:


  • You can have it Cheap and Good, but it won't be Fast.

  • You can have it Fast and Cheap, but it won't be Good.

  • You can have it Good and Fast, but it won't be Cheap.

I'm so glad I found your newly updated blog!

Please include more about the email you get. I enjoyed the one you posted about being able to get someone "good and cheap" - LOL!
