BRX Pro Tip: Getting Ready
Stone Payton: Welcome back to Business RadioX Pro Tips, Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, from time to time you will share some of your pet peeves when we do these Pro Tips. Well, one of mine is the person who’s getting ready to get ready. It just drives me nuts.
Lee Kantor: Yeah. I mean, the fact is no one’s ever ready. You’re never completely ready. There’s always something else you could be thinking about or expecting or fearing. But if you’re going to wait until you feel 100 percent ready, you’ll be waiting forever.
Stone Payton: And this is the thing, like you said this is one of my pet peeves also, is that so many people, they just have meetings, they have meetings to just play out every possible scenario, the best case scenario, the worst case scenario, and just time keeps on ticking.
Lee Kantor: The truth is no one’s ever ready. It doesn’t matter what the thing you’re trying to get ready for, whether it’s a new job, a big launch, the next move you should make in your business. Growth happens when you just go for it and you take a step forward. Even if you have questions or if you have doubts, just take some action.
Lee Kantor: I’m not saying not to prepare. You have to prepare somewhat, but don’t let the pursuit of perfection stop you. You have to trust your experience. You have to trust your gut. You have to lean on your team. But you have to take action.
Lee Kantor: You’re going to learn no matter what you think. Once you put something out to the public, you’re going to learn something. And at that point, you better adapt. And if you do those things, you’re going to get stronger. And the thing that you were trying to achieve has a better chance of success because you’re learning as you go. It’s not going to be perfect on the whiteboard. It’s going to be perfect when people get a hold of it and they tell you what they want to need, not what you think they want to need.
Lee Kantor: So remember, progress beats perfection. The best opportunities come to those who are willing to start before they feel totally ready.
