Progress, not Perfection
* This was first published as part of April’s i-saga newsletter called “Create Your Story”. You can find more information at www.i-saga.net/newsletter.phpWhile still young, i-saga is moving from its early phases to become more mature. Much like a young adult, this organization has a lot of energy and excitement, but also tons of room to grow to reach its full potential.
As I’ve learned (and am still learning) in all areas of my life, it’s important to follow a philosophy of “Progress, not Perfection”. The Institute of Success and Goal Achievement has followed this well, and as a result has been building a great resource for the rapidly growing community. I love the quote from Winston Churchill, “Waiting for perfection breeds paralysis”. Thank goodness I managed to “just start”, despite knowing that i-saga was far from perfect in its early days.
When I did start the Institute of Success and Goal Achievement, it had what I would consider a sub-par website and insufficient content. I had a vision of where I was going but didn’t have everything lined up perfectly how I wanted them. I could have delayed … and delayed … and delayed until everything was perfect before scheduling that first guest interview, but I knew in my gut and in my heart that it was time to stop making excuses and get i-saga launched even if all the support wasn’t where I wanted it.
