Inner Matrix Systems Describes the One Mistake Entrepreneurs Make That Derails Their Business Before They Even Begin

The common phrase “Done is better than perfect” is difficult for a high-achieving entrepreneur to get on board with. However, they might begrudgingly concede the fact that perfectionism is often an impediment to getting a project launched. In this article, Joey Klein, founder and CEO of Inner Matrix Systems – a personal mastery training system for high achievers – shares why you should accept imperfections before starting your project—with the intent to optimize later.

How to Get Started

To achieve something extraordinary, we have to get started and take action. So first, start with naming a vision for your project and writing down how you think it will feel when you achieve the outcome you are aiming for.

After defining how you want to feel, consider the thoughts a person that feels that way would think and the subsequent actions they would take. Once you have outlined the emotions you want to feel and some of the thoughts and actions you might take as you feel that emotion, you can begin to write down some specific outcomes you’d like to achieve with your project. For instance, if you are launching a new product or service, name the core features that would make your product or service better than the competition.

The important thing is to bring the emotion you wanted to feel to create your vision. By going through this process, you can clarify what is important to you and what you want out of your efforts, which will provide context for the decisions you make along the way.

Stick to Your Deadlines

Once your vision is crystal clear, set a budget and a timeline—and stick to it. There is no point in having deadlines that you routinely set back; in fact, making a habit of regularly moving back deadlines is a sign that you need to learn how to plan better and manage your time efficiently. Deadlines should be made strategically, realistically, and with enough forethought to account for changing circumstances. Most importantly, not everything is a number one priority: listen to your collaborators when they tell you what they think a reasonable deadline is when the deadline affects their workload.

Failure to Launch

If we fail to execute because we’re waiting for something to be perfect or extraordinary, we often never achieve extraordinary outcomes because we get into that place called failure to launch. This is the root of the problem. Trial and error is the name of the game for a new project or business. One of the reasons to push forward is that you will not anticipate every possible circumstance that may affect your project until you get the ball rolling. Successful entrepreneurs learn from their mistakes and miscalculations to improve their project and move it towards excellence, and this can only be accomplished once the project is operational.

We learn to ultimately hit the mark through execution, as little steps take daily compound over time and become significant. Pivoting to it being good enough and the process of trial and error creates excellence, not getting it perfect out of the gate.
