Coaches who are perfectionists tend to grow their businesses a lot slower than other coaches and may struggle to land clients. Many of them get so caught up in the weeds trying to make all their marketing material “perfect” that they lose perspective of why they’re doing any of this in the first place.

Finish this sentence: “Before I launch a new product, send my resume to a potential employer, or finalize a speech to deliver in front of the whole company, I want to make sure it’s ____.” Maybe you said “engaging” or “spell-checked” or “approved by my boss.” But my guess is that the majority of you finished that sentence with the same word: “perfect.” As humans, the need to strive for perfection is ingrained in us. You can see it in the way we look up to successful people: We expect the people we hold in high regard—like managers, CEOs, or political candidates—to be perfect, without a single flubbed answer or ill-conceived business decision. So it’s no wonder that when you’re striving to be successful, you’re simultaneously striving for perfection. Which is a big, fat waste of time. Via The Learning Factor

This article is perfectly put together.... or is it? Inc.com's article on the perception of perfect is clear on it's purpose. The goal here is not too undersell perfection as some stupid thing we all strive for. Rather, the writer reminds us that perfection is impossible in the eyes of everyone. Imperfection, the writers talks, is what really brings us together. This information could translate into your judgement on your team members and friends alike. Next time the slacker on your team slips up then remind them we all do it and let it go. The work place will go much more smoothly if we can recognize that imperfection is the true perfection. |

Perfectionism isn't hard-wired, it's learned. Which means we can unlearn it too, with these methods. Via Daniel Watson
