Done beats Perfect

How often have you waited before publishing something?

Maybe you have never published anything yet because you thought it’s not good enough.

It’s not perfect.

I have seen so many people get stuck on the path to building their business.

They all get stuck in the Perfection Trap.

They think it has to be a masterpiece before anybody else can see it.

When in the beginning nobody will see it anyway.

Not many people will ever see anything you publish.

The few that do – will not be the masters in what you do.

There are three realizations that I have seen:

  • Most people will ignore you.
  • Some people will engage with you.
  • Only a few will be critical.

This is how it will go in the beginning.

This will give you the time to actually get good at what you do.

You will already build relationships and share your heart before you become the best.

It also gives you the ability to try different things.

You don’t need to be stuck.

You can try if it is the way you imagined it.

At the same time, you will build a library of content.

You will improve your skill.

You will build a community.

The thing that makes people more successful is to reduce the time between thought and action.

This means to get things done and not contemplate whether they are perfect or not.

You can get a multitude done, where others are still on the first thing.

So remember:

Done beats perfect.

Until next time, brother!

    We do it the 100X Way How many struggle with Perfectionism? I always thought things must be done to 100% completion, yet I seemed to fail every time. The question became: How should we do things?
