Start something new. Forget about the perfect launch or the right equipment or the ideal partner.
Just start.
If you find yourself a slave to perfection, remember these three things:
- It’s more than likely that your need or perfection is simply a symptom of your fear of failure or your tendency to procrastinate.
- Almost no one is doing anything perfect. Join the crowd.
- Most important: Just starting something, as imperfect as it may be, already makes you better than the vast majority of people who never start anything.
Be better than everyone else. Start something terribly imperfect today. Or be like everyone else and go nowhere.
Harsh, I know. But it’s what I say to myself almost everyday, and it works.
