Done beats Perfect

How often have you waited before publishing something?

Maybe you have never published anything yet because you thought it’s not good enough.

It’s not perfect.

I have seen so many people get stuck on the path to building their business.

They all get stuck in the Perfection Trap.

They think it has to be a masterpiece before anybody else can see it.

When in the beginning nobody will see it anyway.

Not many people will ever see anything you publish.

The few that do – will not be the masters in what you do.

There are three realizations that I have seen:

  • Most people will ignore you.
  • Some people will engage with you.
  • Only a few will be critical.

This is how it will go in the beginning.

This will give you the time to actually get good at what you do.

You will already build relationships and share your heart before you become the best.

It also gives you the ability to try different things.

You don’t need to be stuck.

You can try if it is the way you imagined it.

At the same time, you will build a library of content.

You will improve your skill.

You will build a community.

The thing that makes people more successful is to reduce the time between thought and action.

This means to get things done and not contemplate whether they are perfect or not.

You can get a multitude done, where others are still on the first thing.

So remember:

Done beats perfect.

Until next time, brother!

    Hey Reader, Last fall, I was pretty stressed. There were so many things I didn’t get done. I pushed hard. I was in hustle mode. I started daily newsletters as well as daily videos.

  • Success comes through Sacrifice

    Hey Reader, Everything in life comes with a price tag. Not always do they have a $ (Dollar Sign) with them. Some are also connected to the cost of time. Some are decisions, either for or against. You can do many things, but you won’t be able to succeed in all. You do have many opportunities, but not the time to try them all. There is a correlation that I started to notice. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. Every big victory comes with a price. There is no success without…

    Over the last few months, I’ve done a lot of coaching. Different men. Different stories. But one thing keeps showing up — again and again. Overwhelm. Not just “I’m busy” overwhelm.Not “too many emails” overwhelm. The kind that drains your confidence and clouds your calling. And here’s what I’ve noticed: Most overwhelm doesn’t come from too much to do. It comes from confusion or a lack of clarity. You’re not sure what the next step is.You’re not sure who to help, or how.You’re trying to build…
