How to Defeat Perfectionist In You To Get The Job Done?
Action is one thing that separates idea that could have been from an idea that is and MASSIVE action is what separates success from a failure. We can all lie to ourselves and try to find an excuses on “why we failed” to achieve the goal we set forth but lets get real!
I love to take action but I’m also somewhat of perfectionist and too often I spend too much effort on perfecting something before I introduce it to the world. While perfection is great – it is not always possible to achieve and sometimes we just have to determine when we simply move forward and take action…
Last weekend during the Niche Affiliate Marketing Workshop Willie Crawford made very important point during his presentation (not exact quote, just the idea):
Speed of product delivery to the market is what makes the difference.
Now that doesn’t mean you should ignore the quality, quite the opposite! But it does mean that when we come up with an idea to server a profitable market segment – so did hundreds of other people and only the first few who will deliver that solution will benefit.
Will it be you? Or will you be perfecting the product developed based on idea until nobody wants it?
What’s the point of this post?
Just pushing myself forward and bringing an important point across. Idea implemented into solution doesn’t have to be an info product – it can be a blog post, an article, video… whatever! Just get it out there!
As I write this article I’m seating on started eBook that I plan to make available for free and this post is a check point for myself – get the eBook completed and get it to the people!
What do you think?

I find that the more I actually do something the faster I become. For example when I started to blog it took me quite a bit of time to navigate around. Now I am faster and my own style then started to show through.
The speed of getting things done is power! When just starting out in blogging it takes a lot of time to learn everything and wear every hat so that you can get to the point Willy Crawford is. I am sure he does not do the small stuff any more.
I appreciate all of the tools I have gotten from you it has helped to make things a lot quicker.

I try to set a time limit on how much I tweak an idea, but what tends to hold me back is the fear of someone, anyone out there thinking I’m a big dill because I get something wrong. I’m working on getting over myself and I do get more things done and the things I do are good enough for the time I can currently devote to them.

I agree with you whole heartedly Alex,
I put off starting a web page for a year because I thought everything had to be perfect. then one day I heard a Guru say to just put up anything because it will never be as bad as it is the first day. This allowed me to put up cr_p to start but I am doing better now and I have a presence on the web.
I think it is important to just jump and get your feet wet.

Excellent point my man and 100% true. I can really relate; I too spend way to much time dotting my eyes and crossing T’s and nothing gets “done”.

It is crazy how much I have learned in the past 15 days – and I am truly amazed at how my speed has increased. I was writing articles to get my blog some traffic and the first few articles took me forever! Now I can do 400 words in 20 minutes!
Thanks for everything you do!

i think that this post covers everybody not only people who put up products in the net. Even affiliate marketers can learn something from this. A lot of marketers out there think that if they dont make their pages the best or the most beautiful that people will not buy from them. Marketers should just do it and post it out there and wait for the results.
Like Felix Dennis said, “It is easier to apologize than acquire permission”!
Nobody is perfect even though many of us try to be. The best thing we can do is work hard and see the job through. It may not be perfect but you at least set out to do what your promised.
You’re right!
I’m trying to launch my website for few weeks now, I have some content for it already, but I wanna be a WordPress guru before I put it up apparently… dang!
You don’t need a “guru” – just do it
