When overwhelm hits
When you’re starting a business, you obviously want to try and get everything right. Between building the right structures, creating plans, and doing the actual work, it can be easy to get that sinking feeling.
It helps to realise that building a business is a process. And part of that process is the continuous improvement that I’ve been going on and on about. Hence, when you start your business, you don’t always have to get everything right. The important thing is you get it out into the market place to see if it floats.
I’m not saying it’s ok to do crap work, but just to be aware that perfection takes time. Michael Jordan didn’t walk out onto the court the first time he played and instantly become the greatest basketball player in history. He practiced, improved, practiced, improved, over and over until he reached his level of greatness. And then he practiced some more!
So don’t let the feeling of overwhelm hold you back. Get started, get improving, and just start the process.
