Momentum > Perfection

Do you ever find yourself stuck trying to get everything perfect before moving forward?

I definitely do.

It’s the moment when my focus shifts from driving progress to obsessing over the tiniest details.

And it can come at a significant cost.

Momentum.

It’s something I am constantly working on to improve.

And is a challenge that comes up with some of with my 1:1 coaching clients as well.

There’s a fine line between being thorough and letting perfectionism halt progress.

So here are some things to try if you find yourself in this situation:

✅ Embrace “good enough.”
(It's okay to move forward. I promise.)

✅ Trust that refinement comes with iteration.
(The best insights often come from acting on what you have, not waiting for everything to be perfect.)

✅ Ask others for input to get you out of your head.
(Sometimes perfection puts on blinders. Feedback from others can help you gain clarity and move forward.)

✅ Recognize when you're trading progress for perfection.
(Are you actually being productive or are you just spinning your wheels?)

As a leader, it’s critical for you to keep things moving.

For yourself.
And for your team.

Remember:

Momentum > Perfection.
