Perfection is the killer of dreams
Perfection is the killer of dreams. Curious, one reader questioned it. I replied….
Perfection is a common factor with high performers. We try to make our tasks as ‘perfect’ as possible much to the demise of getting goals done. We do get them done but (like an Allergic reaction), after doing them over, and over, and over again; double checking and triple checking to ensure everything is in place. Our desire is to avoid a Cacophony of our work.
Meanwhile our competitors who do not care as much, often complete their tasks even with errors. The challenge is they sometimes are accepted giving excuses for ‘errors’.
My suggestion to high performers is to double-check and get it done especially when it’s an application or something where there are others vying for the same contract or position.
So stop triple-checking. Make it Viable…just get it done.
Cheers!

Hope that clarifies. Thanks for asking

In business point view it is clear. I agree with you. Some time we waste a lot of time just in testing our product but at same our competitors introduce their product in market. Yes you define it well. Thanks
