Listen "Badass Unscripted – 100% is Waste"
Episode Synopsis
Seeking perfection is a major source of wasted effort; particularly if you are seeking it BEFORE taking action.
There’s no such thins as perfect output, only perfect effort.
Perfection is sought literately over time. Modern business requires that we move ideas from vision to backlog to executed Iteration One quickly. In almost all cases, perfection is neither required nor desired out of the gate. Holding back or being unwilling to try for fear of making mistakes is the only kind of true failure. Remember this – there IS such a thing as starting a race so late that it is practically impossible to win.
