What's the 80-20 rule in the context of doing live art shows and flash sales?

The 80-20 rule means identifying where 80% of your value comes from and focusing there, while ignoring the 20% of details that don’t move the needle. In live shows and flash sales, the 80% is actually going live, showing your products, making the offer, and connecting with your audience. The 20% is things like perfect landing pages, specific payment integrations, elaborate planning, and getting every detail perfect. Perfectionists get stuck in that 20% and never ship. It can take weeks or months and cause stress, but those details provide tiny gains. Focus on the 80%—just go live and make it happen. You can’t let the 20% stop you from doing what actually creates value.
