Aim For Done
Facebook has the words “Done is better than perfect” painted on their walls. Why? Because they figured it out. Sure perfect sounds good: I’m going to start a blog this year, I’m just waiting for the timing to be perfect. Or, I haven’t proposed yet, but I will, I am just waiting for things to be perfect. Or, I’m going to launch my company, just as soon as I feel like the timing is perfect. But waiting for something to be perfect before you do it is just a perfect excuse to never do it at all.
Nothing is ever perfect. Nothing is ever finished. If you are truly committed to your blog, your relationship, your company, or whatever, you will realize that there will always be room for improvement. Consequently, if you are serious about getting something off the ground, don’t aim for perfect, make the best bet you can with the information you have and aim for done instead. Once it’s done/launched/started/etc, you have the rest of your life to spend your energy trying to figure out how to get it as close to perfect as possible.
