One thing you don't need in your life/career

Perfectionism! You don’t need it. Let me explain.

When I started my freelancing career, I thought it has to be perfect!

I thought my works has to be perfect, my knowledge perfect, etc but there was something I noticed in my quest for perfection, the more I wanted “perfection” the farther I drifted from ever doing anything. Until I will never do anything.

Does this sound like you?

I have heard people tell me that “bukola, I want to do this course before launching my idea”. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with that, in fact, I endorse learning more, but stop hiding under “learning more” to procrastinate your idea. Errors will always be found in an idea until you launched it. Ideas are sweet, they make you see all those things as simple but Nah, until you launched it, you will never learn from it. The thing we do not know is that “ideas” has a lot of errors because it’s not based on fact yet, just ‘imagination.

You don’t need perfection! Let me tell you a bitter truth? nobody is looking for a “perfect worker/freelancer”. Instead, they want experienced, talented, and unique people because they believed that "with 2/5 years of experience" you have learned something along the way which will be useful to their project and company.

That’s why most job descriptions start with “at least, 3years experience” because they believe that within those 3 years you must have grown, built, and evolved around that career path.

Do away with being perfect and start doing what you want to do. The more you launch, the more you learn and the more stable your work will be.

Do not wait for the perfect opportunity before launching that project.

No better time to write that book, it’s NOW!

Sign up for that course now, no perfect time.
