Don’t Wait for Perfect…..
One of the beauties of today’s workplace is that we can just get in the game and then refine our business as we go.

Releasing a trial version can be an act of transparency – and an invitation to customers and friends to help complete and improve it.
Progress Trumps Perfection
In the late 17th century, Lord Chesterfield, an English writer and politician, wrote to his son, "Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well."

Seeing Perfection without Judgment
Happiness does not depend on outward things, but on the way we see them. Leo Tolstoy Do we hold a vision of perfection in our life? Taking in an exquisite sunset, gazing at the ocean waves, smelling pine trees in a forest, gives us a feeling or sense of perfection and beauty.

Yet there are many times when perfection seems like a far off dream; something we can't quite grasp. We become caught up in the struggle of a situation, or frustrated because someone else doesn't seem to live up to our expectations. We may criticize our self because we are not attractive enough, funny enough, bright enough, or as resourceful as we think we should be.

If you are at all like me you spend a significant amount of time beating yourself up for NOT doing what you know you should do. Most of the achievement oriented people I know do this quite a bit. It is as though they are on a quest for perfection and anything less than that is unsatisfying. Don't get me wrong ... I think it's a great thing to be on a quest for perfection, and I believe people who are, will ultimately experience a good deal of success because they'll never feel as though they've arrived. There will always be something else to accomplish.
