Perfectionism is a good excuse for not taking action. A perfectionist is usually a procrastinator and an insecure undercover. I've been there but managed to keep it under control.
Doing the best you can and learning from your mistakes is essential in order to stand out and succeed.
As long as you're expecting to make the perfect design or write the best article ever published before you get exposed, you may never give yourself a chance.
Fear stands behind perfectionism and it disappears as soon as you take action.
15. Take the first step and start before you're ready!
I use Google docs, colorful note papers and that notebook by my bed, to write ghana mobile database down whatever comes into my mind. This way I prevent great ideas from slipping out of my busy mind (or my poor memory), but there's something more significant I do. I take this essential first step!
Although an exciting new project can get me to work immediately, I hate boring, non-creative, yet necessary duties, like editing copy, sending proposals etc.
The 1st trick I use is to break down boring tasks into smaller parts. It really works!
For example, I work 1 hour daily, for one week on a boring task instead of for half a working day.
8 times out of 10 I work for more than an hour. But, even 30' are better than nothing!
The 2nd trick is working only for the minimum required and perfecting things later.
When I come up with a promising idea, I make an attractive presentation and launch it. (It's like an MVP)
If nobody's interested in the new service I offer, I don't have to work on it at all. This can save you a lot of time and money! Just don't be impatient, it usually takes some time before you see results!
You've probably already heard of both techniques before, all you have is to apply them!
