Take imperfect action
I used to think this habit was key to my success.
Spoiler: It’s actually holding me back…
For so long I’ve been obsessed with planning. My mum always used to tell me "Fail to prepare, prepare to fail" ☝🏼
But that mindset made me a perfectionist (thanks mum)
↳ I thought I had to have EVERYTHING sorted to launch my new idea!
Then my friend reminded me:
TAKE 👏🏻 IMPERFECT 👏🏻 ACTION 👏🏻
Doing something is better than nothing,
& you don‘t have to have it all figured out.
- Post SOMETHING
- Launch SOMETHING
- Do SOMETHING in the gym
Here's my system to beat perfection
1️⃣ Refrain from implementing lessons you‘ve learned in v1 on the SAME V1
2️⃣ Instead, use them in V2: It motivates you to try again and action your lessons
3️⃣ Repeat, Repeat, Repeat
4️⃣ Now, instead of 1 “never perfect” thing, you have 4 almost perfect things
🫶🏻 And you can trust that each will be better than the last!
So I’ve decided that 2025 is going to be the year of ✨Messy Moves ✨
Like Brat summer, but for business 💚🤪
If you want to beat perfectionism for good:
- Start at the wrong time
- Create more stuff
- Learn as you go
Stop planning, start DOING!! :)
