"We'll fix that later." Incorporate this short little, very
powerful sentence into your vocabulary today. These are not
swear words. It's a deadly trap to get caught in the mindset
that everything needs to be perfect before you ever announce
anything to the world.
Look around the internet... ~ How many ugly websites do you
see? ~ How many cheesy ebooks have you downloaded? ~ How many
glitchy software applications do you use every day?
Perfection is an illusion. It'll never happen. Don't let the
pursuit of perfection become an ideal that results in inaction.
Jim Rohn tells this story...
A man was visiting a neighbor's new home site. The neighbor had
been collecting building materials on his bare vacant lot for
years now. He'd amassed an incredible collection of lumber,
windows, plumbing and lighting fixtures, doors, concrete block,
shingles, siding, drywall and much more. Everything was stacked
in mountainous piles around the barren dirt lot.
The man said to his neighbor, "It looks like you're going to
have quite a house here."
The neighbor replied, "Just wait till you see the rest of the
stuff I've got coming."
The moral of the story is stop collecting "stuff" and start
building something. Do it now. Forward motion, even just a
little, will have profound effects on what you see in the days
ahead.
