Actually, it’s Andrew Johnson’s (of Web Publishing Blog) secret tip, and it’s a good one: “If you have an idea for a web site, find a way to make that site live within hours — not days — not weeks — and most certainly, not months.“
This is something I know I have often done wrong too - so don’t think this is only a newbie affliction - either waiting for the perfect moment, or perfect conditions to start a new project, when just getting started on the thing and working out the details later would have been a much better approach.
Perhaps we people are perfectionists, perhaps it’s fear, but there is much to be said for “learning by doing.” Yes, I know this to be true and still resist taking my own advice. 
But, even if one’s first attempts are ugly and the site is pretty lame, it is, at least, starting to stake it’s place in the world.
And those feelings of embarrassment that make you cringe at the thought of - let’s face it - a very few people seeing your project in its clumsy infant stages, soon pale to insignificance against the certain realization that nobody at all is ever likely to see it (and you’ll never earn a cent), if the project is never started, or you lose that “window of opportunity.”
