With all of the possible program and product opportunities just waiting to be created by us, you can’t let your own search for perfection keep you from getting it out before it’s out dated or someone else beats you to it.

In the past I’ve had some great ideas (and I do mean Great) for training equipment, programs, and businesses that I needed to make perfect before I would put it out. Lo and behold, while I had my head in the sand fine-tuning, someone else beat me to it.

I’ve learned from that. Be quick to prototype. For example, now I’ll put out what I believe to be a good program, see how it goes, then correct what needs to be corrected. Most times people don’t need perfect. They are happy with good and thrilled when it gets even better. My first attempt at video blogging is is another example. The lighting is poor, I look like hell, and the sound is weak at best. But, it was timely to the NSCA conference and I knew I’d get feedback to help me make it better next time.

Don’t hesitate. Don’t let perfect get in the way of good. Put out your good attempt and then refine it as you gather additional information.

Happy creating! Mark
