We wait for the “perfect” time to “perfectly” complete our precious projects.
- But that precious time never comes, so we don’t start until some external consequence scares us into action.
- Then, we start really sucking on the project.
- Sucking bad.
What we forget:
- Kicking ass at some project doesn’t take XYZ hours.
- It doesn’t take some miracle moment.
- It doesn’t take crafting a nifty plan.
- It doesn’t take being perfect.
What does it take?
Expending a humongous amount of hours sucking.
- Until you suck less.
- Then, suck even less.
- Then, suck even less than that.
- (and so on.)
That mindset drives you to constantly improve every nook-and-cranny of Project ABC for eternity — as long as you find it still financially smart to do so.
