Putting the cart before the horse !!!
Hank I've just found a great location to open a new shop and I've already been in touch with the owner of the property. He's keen to sell.
Sonja Have you researched the market for out kind of products in that district ?
Hank No, not yet. This is an opportunity that's too good to miss.
Sonja Don't you think this is putting the cart before the horse ?
Hank What do you mean ?
Sonja Well surely we ought to check first whether the people who live around there will want to buy what we have to sell, before we decide to open a new shop there.
Explanation :
 
If you say that someone is putting the cart before the horse, you mean that they are doing things in the wrong order

This guy is top-notch
