'Perfect' Can Be the Enemy of 'Amazing'

[ad_1]

Never forget that 'perfect' is the enemy of amazing. Are you waiting until you have everything mapped out 'just right'? Do you 'think' and 'consider' and 'discuss' and 'plan' and 'revisit' until days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months and suddenly a year has passed, your energy is drained and you're more frustrated than ever ? Waiting for 'perfection' will be your greatest obstacle in creating something amazing.

Get started now. Will it be perfect? No.

Will you make mistakes? Yes. Keep moving forward.

Listen to feedback. Refine and improve as you go along. This is not a suggestion that you accept mediocrity or do the bare minimum or produce substandard results. It IS a suggestion that you stop waiting until the stars align perfectly to start moving toward whatever it is you want. Think today about how you can apply this to your marketing. Are you avoiding starting an email campaign because you're not exactly sure how to do it?

Then sign up for a free trial account and test the waters. I like www.iContact.com because they're easy for most people to navigate (even if you do not consider yourself a 'techie') and they have a 14 day free trial. Have you been thinking and wondering about how you can use your network of collections but just avoiding it because you are not exactly sure where to start? It does not have to be perfect today; But go ahead, pick up the phone and invite someone who could be a great strategic partner for you for coffee. When you get the meeting, be honest about your desire to work together and help grow your businesses together.

Will every word be perfectly placed? Probably not. You'll do better next time. But just start. Dig in today and get it going. Set a date, commit to it and make it happen. Do not let your need for 'perfect' stand in the way of greatness.
