Perfection - the great stumbling block
Today, I again realized how our pursuit of perfection holds us up. So often we want everything to be perfect, that we cannot accept how we must accept imperfection and move on with what we have.
Yet we must move when we have what we have, so that we can get it out to our customers and then improve our products as we get feedback and learn more.
The sound on "Feet to the Fire" is not what I want it to be. The volume is OK, but I want the sound volume to be louder. The volume is significantly better than many audio programs that I have purchased from professional speakers, but I want it to be perfect. After two long nights of researching settings and trying various options in my recording software, I realized today that my time is no longer adding value to my audiences. Customers are waiting to receive the "Feet to the Fire" CD's and obtain the benefits of Accountability Partnerships.
Pursuit of perfection is now denying society at large the benefit of the Feet to the Fire program, and I will move with what we have now.
Tell me about your experiences with perfection. Have you experienced situations where perfection was worth the exponential effort? Or have you also found that the pursuit of perfection can be counter productive?
Status update on Feet to the Fire: Liz and I need to rerecord some tracks, and we are working with the CD-label designer next week. It should be available to the public in time for the Fall 2007 District 53 Toastmasters conference on Nov 3, 2007 in Fishkill, NY.
