Perfection Can Be The Enemy Of Success

in #success6 years ago

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.

Imperfection can be fixed down the track.
I once heard someone say, " perfect is the enemy of the good. " I understand it's a nobl 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 it's good
3 Finish
4 Get feedback
5 Polish it until it's very good.
Remember, absolutely nothing happens until you start.
