Falling into the Perfection Trap

1 replies
Hi all,

It's been a long and frustrating Saturday morning and I thought I'd share a few thoughts around this in case other warriors come up against the same issue. Woke up at 8am and dived right into my new website project with a vengeance! Three hours later, I realise that I've just spent the whole morning trying to get my wordpress vertical menu the *exact* right colour to match my sheet background... ... yep, that's three hours.

Time for a break and some much needed soul-searching methinks.


Now, those three hours I spent...
  • Did they ensure I'd make any additional sales? NO!
  • Did they make my product any better than it currently is? NO!
  • Did they bring me any closer to my product launch? NO!
Could that time have been spent on...
  • Putting the finishing touches on my product? YES!
  • Testing the site setup, emails, downloads, sales funnel etc? YES!
  • Checking my affiliate links and banners are working? YES!
  • Reviewing and improving my web copy? YES!
  • Making plans for the launch and networking with fellow marketers? HELL YES...
So... the moral of the story is to avoid not seeing the wood for the trees. Do away with the time-wasters and focus on what counts. I.e. what puts money in the bank. It's *OK* to be imperfect (to a degree)...

... and there's always version 2.0
