This might seem
controversial and may even challenge your beliefs.
Being a perfectionist
can be one of the most destructive habits when it comes to success.
Fear of not being able
to do it right stops people from ever starting. However, nothing worth doing
was ever done perfectly the first time!
It's the decision to
act which counts, to get going, to move in the direction you want to go, to
just take that very first step!
"You
don't have to get it right... You just have to get it going"
Imperfections can be
fixed down the track.
I once heard someone
say, "Perfect is the enemy of the good". I understand it's a noble
belief to do things 'right' however what's the point in having goals if they
are never achieved because they are burdened by this 'perfection' milestone?
Consider this quick
step formula instead:-
1. Start immediately
2. Improve it until its good
3. Finish
4. Get feedback
5. Polish it until it's very good.
Remember, absolutely
nothing happens until you start.
Note: Just
begin, even if what you start ends up nothing like the finished article. If you
are selling to a marketplace, get something out there and then get feedback
from the marketplace to perfect your product or service.
