Productivity Tip: Keeping An Open Mind And Avoiding The Perfection Trap
In my own personal experiences (and from speaking with others) a lot of us have a viewpoint of how we think things should look and work out, which affects how we produce the work we do for our online business.
Whether it be pins, blogs, videos, ads, etc..., we always have our own subjective view on what "perfect" is when we make it and in my experience very often that mindset/view is not a reflection of actual reality and very often, these biases lead to getting bad results.
On the other hand when we create what we do for our online business with an open mind and avoiding the perfection trap, we are much more flexible and the ideas tend to flow way better. On top of that the results we get may often surprise us as I explained with the pin above.
I kid you not when I say that my best results in this business came when I least chased the idea of perfection in whatever online business branch I was seeking to grow and when it happens so often, you start to think of it less as a coincidence and more as a lesson in life.
So my tip to you is to also do the same!

Good discussion and giving things a try doesn't hurt and you can be surprised at your outcome of things. Relaxed and trying new ideas on this adventure is a good idea.
That perfection trap is no joke, Vitaliy!
I've definitely wasted time tweaking tiny details that probably didn't even matter. Keeping an open mind and just getting things out there is such a better approach. Funny how the things we don’t overthink often turn out to be the most successful!
Thanks for another great video!
Best,
Boris
Great post, Vitaliy!
I also am guilty of over thinking and shooting for perfection! But I'm working on it!
Thanks for the pep talk!

Great tip Vitaliy! Perfection doesn't exist in my opinion so we shouldn't waste too much time trying to find it! :-)
