You've got to keep your eye on your destination, your dream-goal. If it looks like the course you're on is not taking you to your destination then you have to be prepared to adjust.
You can't keep your nose down 24/7. You have to periodically pause, look up and verify that you are still on course to your dream-goal. You also need to verify that your destination is still relevant (to you and/or the marketplace).
This doesn't necessarily mean that your plan was wrong or flawed. There usually isn't a short, straight line from start to finish in life. There are headwinds and cross-currents that can blow you off course. The economics may change, resources can become scarce, committed parties can back out.
These things happen in life. If your dream-goal is truly worth it then you will stay focused, you will "tack" and you will you keep your project heading towards success!
Stay focused and make sure that you are still passionate about completing your dream-goal. This is the "why" that will keep you going!
Have a blessed day!

Step #3b - Reiterate your destination
The next question you have to ask yourself is "Am I really heading towards your dream-goal?" Verify/affirm what your destination is - what your dream-goal looks like when you launch/achieve it -- and review the steps of your plan.
You'll need to take a critical look at your plan and enlist experts to provide feedback (especially people who won't care if they hurt your feelings when they are critical about your "baby").
You'll need to ask yourself the following questions about your plan and timeline:
1) Does it get me to my dream-goal?
2) Is it efficient and effective?
3) Is my timeline realistic?
The answers to both of the above may change as you start to execute your plan. But knowing what you know now, are the answers to the above yes?
If answer to #1 is no, you need to stop and take a hard look at your plan. If the answer to #2 is no, ask yourself how much time are you wasting and is it worth revamping the plan. And, of course, if the answer to #3 is no then you must adjust, but be aggressive. You can adjust it again as necessary.
And then you are ready for Step #4 - Execute!
