Too often, people mistake the result must be perfect. They spent a lot of time to see the error of the soon finish. And most of all it, they confused what the word “ENDS”.
It's not about making it perfect. It's about removing it from the door, and then adjust from there.
Effective work is moving towards the desired goal, and not necessarily about ensuring that nothing is spilled or dropped during the process. Mistakes are bound to happen. Mistakes will also happen. The important momentum is not wasting time on small things that have no end.
So how do you get more done, faster, still remain effective and responsible, and ensure the quality of your work? Focus on the work process, not the final product. When you put too much emphasis on the final product, You fall into the trap of idolizing the end result. You start to imagine it as the perfect ending, not what it should be, and also not what is most likely to form. Expecting to have a perfect end result from the start is a mistake.
If you wait too long to launch your product, launch your services or expand your company, You will become stagnant. You will lose momentum, and what was once a fun idea will feel tired and difficult to implement. This is why it is so important that you move quickly and with passion.
You don't always need the smartest or most talented team. You just need a team that is willing to move, and move fast.
If you are surrounded by perfectionists who are afraid to release an imperfect product, then you will internalize the same thought patterns. On the contrary, if you surround yourself with agile risk takers and problem solvers, that will be your mentality too. This goes back to the old adage, “You are a reflection of 5 the person you spend the most time with.”
