Perfect is the Enemy of Good – Take ACTION

The MORE you enjoy life and take ACTION = The MORE your life’s bank account grows.

Previously, I talked about belief as the key to getting started on a journey toward success.

Today I wanted to discuss the second rung on the ladder to success. That rung is ACTION.

You take have all the training and know-how in the world. You can watch videos and listen top recordings of the top “gurus.” But if you don’t take action – you’ll never get where you want to go.

I know whereof I speak. I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Sometimes that’s Ok. Most times it’s just an excuse to stay in my comfort zone.

So today I encourage you to stretch a little. Take action. Write a blog and post it. Make a video. Submit an ad. I’ll tell you right now – none of them will be perfect!

Perfect is the Enemy of Good - Take ACTIONDid you ever hear the quote, “Perfect is the enemy of good“? Perfectionism offer leads to paralysis – NO ACTION!

It’s much better to act on something then track and improve on it over time. Act, get a result, then change or improve it and act again.

In time, this strategy beats “perfect” every time.
