Imperfect Effort Always Outvalues Perfect Inaction

🚀 Perfection Doesn’t Create Success—Action Does
How many ideas, goals, or opportunities have been delayed because they weren’t "perfect" yet?
💡 Perfectionism isn’t a strength—it’s a roadblock to progress.
✅ Action, even if flawed, moves you forward.
✅ Mistakes teach more than hesitation ever will.
✅ You can always refine as you go—but only if you start.
💡 What’s one thing you’ve been overthinking instead of acting on?
🔥 Why Progress Beats Perfection Every Time
📌 Example 1: James Dyson built 5,127 prototypes before perfecting his vacuum—he didn’t wait, he iterated.
📌 Example 2: Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn founder) said, "If you're not embarrassed by your first version, you launched too late."
📌 Example 3: Picasso painted thousands of works—his masterpieces were created through sheer volume of effort.
🚀 The people who succeed aren’t the ones who wait for perfect—they’re the ones who start.
"Done is better than perfect." – Sheryl Sandberg
