Episode Details

Moment #85 // Enabling perfectionism creates all sorts of problems. Even though the quest for perfection sounds noble, in reality, it's mostly driven by fear of failure! It adds an enormous amount of time, cost, stress, and complexity to any piece of work, without any material improvement in the outcome.

A quest for excellence is infinitely more useful: be smart, make good decisions, and keep moving. This is why, instead of perfectionism, you should think about deploying layers of excellence – it will increase your likelihood of getting a near-perfect result.

If you want to take a deeper dive into overcoming the negative impacts of perfectionism, have a listen to Ep.285: When Profits Create Problems.
