Perfectionism might be the most well-dressed enemy of your success. Ever notice how that pursuit of flawlessness often leaves your best work trapped inside your head? In this powerful episode, we unpack the deceptive nature of perfectionism and why it's really just "procrastination in a tuxedo."
John Acuff's wisdom resonates throughout our discussion: "90% perfect and shared with the world always changes more lives than 100% perfect and stuck in your head." This isn't just motivational talk—it's the fundamental difference between those who make an impact and those who remain perpetually "almost ready." We explore why progress builds unstoppable momentum, how imperfect action unlocks critical feedback loops, and the tremendous freedom that comes from letting go of unrealistic standards.
The question isn't whether you can achieve perfection—it's whether you're willing to choose progress instead. Would you rather endlessly refine something that never launches, or would you rather take imperfect action and learn through real-world experience? Your growth doesn't require flawless execution; it simply needs your commitment to taking the next right step. I challenge you today: Where are you holding back because it's not perfect? What small move could create real momentum in your life or work? You don't need to be flawless—you just need to be faithful to forward motion.
