Done beats Perfect

ByJowi

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!

    Gain Agency of your Life When we talk about starting a business, there is often the question of why should you bother. There is so much work that is required to make a business work. Often it is said to have more time and the most often reason is to make more money. But there is one big reason that I’m willing to work more for – and it’s Agency.

    Broken Families break Society Broken families lead to broken societies, distant communities, and empty neighborhoods. My brother and I puzzled a lot. We had one puzzle where, in the end, one piece was missing. We puzzled many landscapes to hang them up as pictures on the wall. Once you found the missing piece, no matter how often you looked at the picture, you always noticed this missing piece. There was an empty space. When I think of broken families, I think of this incomplete puzzle. It…

    We do it the 100X Way How many struggle with Perfectionism? I always thought things must be done to 100% completion, yet I seemed to fail every time. The question became: How should we do things? We should do it the 100X Way. Let me explain: First, you have to put as many seeds (ideas, content, etc.) out into the world. This is focused on Quantity. Once the seeds are out – you are in charge to water them and take care of them. This is giving without asking. Just be helpful. None of it has to…

    I see this every day online. People struggling to get a client. Struggling to make money. I have been there before. Aiming to reach a monthly income, ready for the harvest — and then coming up empty. No income. No clients. Just crickets. I thought I had good product. But in reality, I was more focused on what I would get out than what I gave. I didn’t actually sow any seeds. I was preparing for the harvest— only to wonder why it never came. That was a hard lesson. I still remember how…
