🚀 Perfection Is a Mirage—Progress Is the Real Goal
How many times have you waited for the perfect plan, perfect conditions, or perfect timing?
💡 Here’s the truth: The ideal doesn’t exist—only progress does.
✅ Success is built on small steps, not perfect plans.
✅ Messy action beats waiting for perfection every time.
✅ You don’t need to have it all figured out—you just need to start.
💡 What have you been delaying because you're waiting for the “right” moment?
🔥 Why Perfection Holds You Back & Progress Moves You Forward
📌 Example 1: Spanx founder Sara Blakely didn’t wait for the “perfect” product—she started, refined, and built a billion-dollar brand.
📌 Example 2: Best-selling author James Clear (Atomic Habits) teaches that 1% daily progress beats chasing perfection.
📌 Example 3: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson didn’t start out a polished superstar—he focused on steady, relentless progress.
🚀 The greatest success stories are built by those who move, not those who wait.
"Progress, not perfection, is what we should be asking of ourselves." – Julia Cameron
