I fell into the perfectionist trap. Whoah it’s smothering in there!
My advice? Get out of the perfection trap. Quickly. It’s from doing things, when you learn.
All the time spent thinking is certainly valuable in helping to create the vision, but it’s action that you need to take, to learn, to start, to make real progress.
You learn so much more when you start doing it, and then you realise the other pieces of the puzzle that you need and how much time you need to get it finished.
I’ve certainly learnt this when I created my online course for you to Get Sales Savvy.
I wanted everything to be absolutely perfectly in place before I told you about it. But in hindsight, I probably should have told you before, then spent the hours finishing it off!
You must have heard someone else saying that they can’t show you something because it’s not quite right yet, or they’re saying it’s not finished because it’s not quite perfect? This is a trap you want to stay clear of, otherwise it will really get in your way and stop you from taking those all important next steps.
Perfection is procrastination’s evil twin sister!
It can seriously hinder your productivity. So, if you strive for perfection, settle for excellence :)
If you’ve been waiting to press send on a piece of work for a while now, I recommend you give it one last look over, one last edit and then do it. Press the send button. Press publish. Tell us what it is!
For example, publish your blog. Send your newsletter. Don’t wait too long, we want to read it.
Otherwise no one will ever know about it anyway!!
What steps can you take today to ensure you don’t fall into the perfectionist trap?
To your success and happiness, show us your excellence today 🙂
