Stop aiming for perfect and start aiming for done.

Stop Aiming for Perfect and Start Aiming for Done

🚀 Done Is Always Better Than Perfect

Perfection is the ultimate productivity killer.
💡 Waiting for "perfect" only delays success—getting things done is what moves you forward.

Progress beats hesitation every time.
Imperfect action is still action—and action creates momentum.
You can refine and improve later, but only if you finish first.

💡 What’s one task you’ve been over-perfecting instead of completing?


🔥 Why Progress Over Perfection Wins Every Time

📌 Example 1: Jeff Bezos launched Amazon with a simple book website—he didn’t wait for perfection, he started.
📌 Example 2: Thomas Edison tested 1,000+ versions of the lightbulb—each attempt got him closer to the breakthrough.
📌 Example 3: Richard Branson starts businesses before they’re “ready”—because action builds results, not endless planning.

🚀 Your success is built on completed actions, not unfinished perfect ideas.

"Perfection is the enemy of progress." – Winston Churchill
