Ninety days puts a box around it. A frame, outside of which you don’t care. Now you can focus and eliminate all other distractions.
“If we spend this money, will we get a return in 3 months?”
“If we choose this path, will it help us finish in 3 months?”
“If we pick blue instead of green, will we grow in 3 months?”
Burn the ships. Damn the torpedos. You got 3 months.
