START NOW!

I was chatting with a colleague the other day. She's working on a squeeze page for a product she's developing. Which is all good.


However, she has no plans to make the squeeze page public until she has perfectly and completely finished creating the information product.

I had a look at the squeeze page in question and it is fantastic! 
It's complete, ready to start generating leads for this lady.
Yet it's there, doing nothing. Waiting for the perfect product on the other side of the page.

'Makes sense', you might think.

Ah, but the problem with this is that the squeeze page has been ready for AGES!
And the product is still not complete. Yet it's a very simple product, and she's actually almost completed it.

I'm going to share with you what I told her.

I told her to go ahead and release the squeeze page already, WHILE working on the end product.

This is because she is otherwise in danger of falling into the trap of 'perfection paralysis'- where you are paralysed into inaction because you are 'waiting for things to be perfect before you get started'.

If you look deep inside yourself, 'perfection paralysis' is really a disguise for fear or lack of courage. Fear of failure, fear of succ ess, fear of rejection.

It takes boldness to step out and do something you've never done before.

But start off, anyway and learn as you go along, tweaking and improving as necessary. This is how perfection happens - it's a gradual thing.

When a baby is learning to walk, she takes the first step - it's clumsy, not perfect, but that baby doesn't wait to have the perfect step before she takes that first one. (for how can she perfect something she's not working on constantly?)

Learn from that little baby then, for you were once her/him. You once learnt to walk the way I've just described above. So you know you've got what it takes to perfect any task you set your heart to do, but don't let the fact everything's not perfect yet, stop you from stepping out anyway.

Take action! Start NOW!

Sure you will make mistakes and fall but just pick yourself right up and keep doing what you're doing (as long as you're doing the right things, that is :) )

In due course you will achieve your desired outcome.

Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due course you WILL reap if you don't give up. But do get started already for crying out loud!
