Welcome to my Success Coaching Blog where I will be posting articles, ideas, and recommendations for you to use on your journey along the road to success.

 

While I have been providing coaching and mentoring services to professionals and entrepreneurs for quite some time, I found the need to make improvements to my web site.  Now that I have completed making the updates to my website, I would like to share what I learned from this experience with you.

 

What do you do when you encounter a major project like improving a website?  First there is the plan, the time line, the budget, do I need a new web host, do I need a new domain name, and what do I want to add to the pages.  Then, do I need to re-write any of the pages.  How should it be displayed?  And should we change the header. 

 

We get very excited about the prospects of having the new improvements in place and we make a lot of progress at first.  Then the urge for perfection sets in.  We want our web site to be perfect, it has to be just so.  Why not, it is our website.  It has to be right.  As a result of the urge for perfection, we delay the revision while we get mired in little changes.  What happens next?  The release date gets pushed back again.

 

Does this sound familiar? If you are like most people, this can occur in many areas of your life.  We all are candidates for the urge for perfection and it can be hard to resist.  We ask ourselves, can we resist this urge? Or should we?   The answer is YES.  If we want to succeed, we must resist the urge for perfection.  We need to take action now.  Remember, we can not see the results of our actions until we complete the task.  Also, remember that we can always make revisions once the task is complete.

 

Therefore, whenever the urge for perfection starts to emerge in any area of your life; ask if you can afford to not to complete the task while you are perfecting it.  What will you loose by not completing the task?  What great opportunity will you miss?  Or, how much money could your business loose as a result of seeking perfection?

 

The cost of perfection can be great.  Often we will not even know how much we have lost, thus giving us a false sense of having made the right choice in seeking perfection.

 

Remember, if you want to succeed you need to take action and take action NOW.  You will achieve your goals sooner as a result of taking action and by achieving your goals quickly, you will find the motivation to seek and achieve even larger goals.

 

Until next time, remember to take action in all areas of your life and you will be very happy that you did.

 

 

To Your Success!
