Summary

Instead of waiting around for perfection as I discussed last week, we should be more deliberate and think about when good enough is good enough. In this week's episode of Leaders Lift, I'll talk about what that means and how we can shift our thinking so we aren't sitting around waiting for perfection that will probably never arrive. Join me for the conversation. And if you haven't listened to episode 28, maybe do that first.

Key Takeaways

  • Waiting around for perfection means we may wait around forever
  • Good enough means that I have enough information, knowledge or training.
  • Or that there are enough planets aligned that I have a reasonable chance of success.
  • And sometimes good enough may also mean that this is as good of an opportunity as I'm going to get.
  • We get there by:
  • Identifying what matters most
  • Simplifying and not overthinking
  • Having a flexible plan
  • Getting started
  • Failing and succeeding quickly
