I had just returned from my vacation in New Zealand two days ago and with all the business ideas and plans written into my trusty ‘old fashioned’ notepad, I’m all fired up!
If you’re a member of Resell Rights Mastery, you will notice the members area layout had changed quite a bit and more features will be added soon.
And in the process, I’m currently cranking out extensions of membership sites and services to aid in your Internet Business projects. Look forward to new developments, my dear subscribers and members!
Now something interesting had been happening every time I had the opportunity to check my emails throughout my trip.
Which leads to today’s topic: PERFECTION.
While I’m used to getting emails like this, there was an unusual volume of it as of lately. The emails are from marketing newcomers with questions along the lines of:
“Is my product good enough?”
“Will this method work?”
“Can you please review this for me?”
“And what if I try this out? What if it doesn’t work? What do I do next?”
If you find yourself asking questions like these often, I’ve got a ‘one answer fit all’ reply: screw perfection, just do it.
Perfection – at least here in the information / digital business – is often synonymous with procrastination.
There is absolutely no such thing as a perfect product, perfect service, perfect software, perfect membership, perfect course, perfect seminar…
Instead, when you look within your computer…
The Windows OS changes every few years. The browser you use is not like what it was just last year. Softwares get patch and updates. Apple has been releasing newer versions of their iPhones, iPads, etc.
When you look outside…
Cars get faster, better and slicker with time. Clothing fashion trends change. You get the drift.
So if a ‘perfect’ product does exist then there won’t be any further need to improve. Unfortunately Fortunately, this spells opportunities for smart entrepreneurs, because there will always be demand for
Better product
Better course
Better service
Better anything!
That said, don’t worry about whether your product is perfect; just make it good enough for your customers. You can always improve it throughout time.
If you find yourself asking too many questions or have many doubts, the best advice I have for you is to act with whatever information you have. RIGHT NOW.
What most procrastinators overlook is their own time. And your time is an invaluable asset.
Case in point: two years ago one of my clients who joined my mentoring program had just too many questions to ask. I could see through his insecurity as he was wondering about problems which either won’t happen or it’s too early to consider.
You know where this is going. I suspect to this day he hasn’t gotten much started, if any at all. Even though he already has the benefit of knowledge most green newbies do not know.
Now take another coaching client of mine, Stanley. For the first couple of months he didn’t get anything solid done.
After a chat on Skype two months ago – essentially just me telling him to DO IT – he finally put his act together for what would be his first online sale.
How did he do for his first try ever?
Here’s a screen shot of his last email to me:
167 sales!
This was a simple product selling at $5.00 and while it’s not much, and a portion of the sales came from help of affiliates, the bottom line is he got started!
I mean, how much money do the rest of the ‘newbies’ make by doing nothing?
This wouldn’t have happened if he continued to sit around and look up to someone else for some security and approval. And I think there’s going to be more in store for people who take that first REAL step like Stanley.
So don’t worry about whether your product is ‘perfect’ yet or if you haven’t got what it takes. Just get moving and trust your own ability that you will know how to respond whenever a problem arises. Start small, grab some audience and gain traction along the way.
I hope this helps you in some way. Next up I’ll be diving into my favorite topic on passive income – it’s been stuffing cash even while I was away on the past two vacations and I’m going to reveal the blueprint soon!
Until then,
