Quotonqu: Being a perfectionist is desirable. But here's the problem with quotonqu being a perfectionist for where most of you guys are in your journey. You cannot expect it, and you can't expct it in the early stages of your business or life. So if you're waiting to to be perfect that's not excellence. It's an excuse, ok? And it fools a lot of people, but it doesn't fool me. I get it. By the way, i do look for that.
I've quoted Lombardi on the podcast before: "chase perfection." Problem is, most people emphasize the second word when the focus is really on the first. Perfection is an impossibility. We're supposed to chase it, not expect it. That's sounds counter-intuitive to a commitment to excellence, but it's not. In fact...perfectionism actually undermines excellence. In this episode, I tell you how & describe a better way of thinking & operating: one that embraces the chaotic process that produces success.
