Progress Not Perfection

Nowadays, so many coaches, consultants, and business owners have a perfectionist mindset.

?They always have to get each project 100% right the first time or it’s not worth doing. So, they spend an eternity working out the kinks and thinking about all of the things that could go wrong.

It's a good thing to try and make things perfect, but there’s a problem with perfectionism. The more time you spend thinking, the less time you spend on taking action.?

When you spend too much time picturing what a project is going to be like, too much time thinking about how awesome it will be… and too little time making the thing, you make no progress.

Don’t Overthink. Do.

Let me tell you about one of the wins that one of our clients shared with me.

He believes that "implementation is key to success."

The whole team implemented what they learned through our strategies and systems and managed to close a deal worth $46,000.

?But here’s the most important part of the process.

They implemented what they learned as soon as possible.

?And once they had it implemented, they refined it at every opportunity until they got it to work.

Our client knew that they didn’t have the system completely done perfectly when they put it into practice. But they did it anyway because they knew they had enough to start making progress.

They focus on moving forward even as they refined and made the system better as they went along with the process.?

The result gives a positive impact on all of them and the company.

Perfection is the enemy of progress

?Now, compare this to how the perfectionist does things.

They’d see that they don’t have the system just right yet. So, they hold off on the implementation. And as a result, the business stalls while they’re working on ‘getting it right’.?

It might take them weeks, even months, or years to nail it. And during those times, the business hasn’t taken one step forward. It hasn’t generated any forward momentum.

Not a great way to grow a business, right?

Remember this: Every single person who’s ever succeeded in business has made mistakes along the way. They’ve implemented imperfect systems and tried things without knowing for certain that it will succeed.

Take action.

And by taking action we either win or we learn— there’s no losing.

The only time you lose is when you stop taking action.
