Perfection will lead you broke...MY STORY
Perfection will lead you broke...
Perfection will lead you broke...
I have coached over 1000 students and each and every one will tell you that one major concept I always stress is that perfectionism is the enemy of all enemies in the Internet Marketing space.
I don't care what anybody says, if you do something with absolutely perfection, then you left A LOT OF MONEY on the table somewhere along the line. Perfection will lead you broke, always.
Let's attack this at the experience level...
BEGINNERS: This is most important to you. When you get into IM, with the overload of information, the shiny objects blinding every direction you turn your gaze, and the misinformation that gets spread, every marketer feels like a one-footed chicken without a head. That's just how it is.
The tendency for new marketers is to find a method and then research everything they need to know about that method so they understand it perfectly and set up that perfect campaign, site, process from the start.
With all the differing information, the task of developing a perfect site, campaign, product, or process right from the start is virtually impossible. So newer marketers tend to spend about 95% of their time and effort learning and researching and 5% actually doing whatever it is they are doing.
The BEST way to learn and know what works for you (which may be different from others) is to learn by doing. Jump in, put out a campaign that you know isn't perfect, get feedback from the market, customers, stats and then make a change and throw it back out there. Continue to do this. You know the saying...throw enough poop against the wall and you'll find something that sticks.
So don't strive for perfection when you are new...just learn by doing, by taking action. Learn by trial and error, not by perfecting a system before even releasing it to the world. Perfection will lead you broke.
INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED MARKETERS: For the beginner market, the goal is to get in the habit of taking action and just putting stuff out there...stuff that is imperfect. That's an exponentially faster way to learn than to come up with that perfect strategy before releasing it to the world.
But for intermediate and advanced marketers, perfection will lead you broke is more about your time. At this point, you understand the basic process and elements of whatever you are doing. But by creating something that is perfect, you put in way too much time that could have been better utilized on other profit making activity.
Eventually you'll reach an equilibrium point whereby the incremental time you spend perfecting your process will actually cost you money instead of making you money. So if you ever get to the point of perfection, because of the "money value of time" you will have lost money.
There will always be a point where good is good enough. If you surpass that point, you are shooting yourself in the foot by letting your perfectionism take over. The same is true if you don't reach that point.
The tricky part is finding where that equilibrium point is for you...the point where good is good enough. There is no science to this as it's impossible to predict the outcome of your process if you had put X more time into it...but it's something you will feel out as you plug along.
Perfection will lead you broke...

For me personally, the day that goes by where I don't make a mistake is the day by business will stop growing. Mistakes means you are taking massive action, which is the true recipe for growth.
So no matter where you are in your marketing, I urge you to at least evaluate this concept as it relates to what you are doing. Are you spending too much time and energy on something? Are you waiting to release that product, site, campaign because it's not perfect yet?
Strive to do big things, things of value, and things that are great. And even strive for perfection, but remember that if you reach it...you will have lost money.
