Business is a flucking train wreck every single day. Even when things are going great, it's chaotic. And if you're constantly finding yourself not willing to get your hands dirty, and not willing to figure out how to win, then you might as well not even make it. I've seen literally thousands of people start businesses and fucking fail because they try to circumvent the shit that the rest of us are just willing to fuck and deal with.
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.
