Yes, nobody’s perfect.

It hit me bullseye. When I’m doing a project it really
takes time because of me being a perfectionist.
When the project is half-way or almost finished, and
a new idea flash into my mind (which I believe is better)
I’ve a nasty idea of changing everything, going back
to ZERO.

Probably, better is just doing something and tweaking
all the way to completion.

Thanks for sharing this with us. I used to do this myself. It’s not as much as I wanted the project to be perfect but I had a hard time giving up some of my workload. Outsourcing some of my work was very hard because I didn’t think that the next guy will put as much hard work into the project as I would and that the project wouldn’t be done correctly.

Is an OK product okay?
Is an OK website okay?
Is OK copy okay?

The real question is where do you put the effort in?

Focus on the copy to get sales, get a quality product later?

The challenge is to find the acceptable standard. It is not perfectionism but what is it and how do you determine it?

Once again this post solidifies you as an outstanding mentor and keen visionary!

I used to like things to be “near perfect” and have at times injured the outcome I was trying to achieve in my projects or even in my personal life…

Since then I’ve learned the truth of what you’ve written about.

Having the mindset of “nobody’s perfect” achieves two things:

1) It unburdens you of guilt for not “getting it right” and
2) Gives you permission to forgive yourself and others

The second clearly has allowed for greater personal growth in my life.

This is another gem to share with my clients.

Thank you for bringing this aspect of successful living to light!
