Wise Wednesdays - Do it Lousy

The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started. -Dawson Trotman

So much of business activity involves doing things on the fly; not having all the answers.

One of the misnomers is that you have to do things perfectly: You can’t. This way of thinking will only hold you back.

The key is to start. Set a date when you will begin working on that business plan, research the competition, make that phone call etc. Do it lousy. Yes, you read it right.

This will free you from getting it “just right”. Learn from the experience. Re-do it. Do it again.

As Gretzky has been quoted often, "you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take."

Cheers,

Dominik
