I’m careless, but it was worth all the marks I lost in those Math tests during my school years.
Many of us come up with brilliant ideas all the time, but we stop ourselves from acting on them because we think it’s just not good enough. We want to perfect the blueprint first, but it often ends up failing because our master plan is forever gathering dust within our brain.
I hate to break it to you, because your idea probably isn’t perfect, and it’s probably not good enough. But so what? Start anyway! It’s not good enough… yet.
The Fallacy of Finding the Best
Many people take forever in their research in finding the best savings accounts or even which TV service to use. I can understand the desire to go with the best, but why wait if you already have a handful of “good enough” choices?
How does anyone know what to look for unless they have experience with a similar service? If you don’t already use an online savings account on a regular basis, how are you able to determine what “best” means for you? It’s not like you are stuck with the account forever if you don’t like it.
Just pick one that seems pretty good and start depositing. You can always pick a better one to use later.
It Works with Debt
You may want to start paying your debt ahead of schedule, but you don’t think you have enough extra savings to pull this off. Have you managed to save some spare change today? Throw that into a payment towards your debt. You may not be able to save $500 more, but those $5 and $8 payments will make a difference and may even motivate you to save a little more than usual. Who knows? It could even turn to that $500 you were dreaming about.
Just start. It’s not hard and it could become the perfect way to get rid of your debt.
It Could Help Entrepreneurs Too
I get quite a few emails asking for advices on starting some type of online venture. Those emails usually ends with a question asking whether I think it’s a good idea or not. My answer, almost always, is “Absolutely. Every plan is a good idea.”
Don’t get me wrong, because I’m not trying to be rude. But plans are just a start. The key to success is never how great the plan is to being with, but how great the product will become. We buy an Apple computer because we believe the current version fits our needs, not because their very first creation was a masterpiece.
If you have an idea on a possible side business, start building it right away. You may find that it’s more difficult to implement than you originally thought, but you could also strike it big. You won’t know until you try, so start today!
We use the best, want to be the best and try to find the best. Yet, nothing starts out perfectly. Be a little careless and just take action already. It might not be perfect, but it will be if you constantly try to make it just a little bit better.
