Pombo Live coming to you live every day here from Grants Pass Oregon.<br> <br> <br> <br> Today we’re going to be talking about the process of business growth and how one of the main things that gets in the way is perfection, perfection, perfection. They’re always trying to perfect, every little piece of what we’re working on, what we’re doing.<br> <br> <br> <br> As I was going ahead, moving on with a new project, with podcast producer Sean Douglas, and today we’re noticing that I’ve always had a tendency, in certain ways, to get caught up with one little item that doesn’t really have anything to do with the big picture of where we’re going and we’re trying to perfect this one little area of this big thing that we’re trying to do.<br> <br> <br> <br> This happens. It really became clear to both of us today as we were talking about it.<br> <br> <br> <br> It happens when you don’t have a clear idea of your priorities.<br> <br> <br> <br> If you don’t know what the priority is, it’s very easy to get caught up in the perfection trap.<br> <br> <br> <br> Here’s an example.<br> <br> <br> <br> I talked to a lot of business owners and a select few end up becoming clients.<br> <br> <br> <br> And one the first things I do with a client is sit down and really graph out what their priorities are.<br> <br> <br> <br> Where are they looking at where they see themselves in the next six months, year, five years, 10 years and so forth.<br> <br> <br> <br> In many cases, they get irritated with that. They don’t like to think about that type of thing because they like to keep things loose.<br> <br> <br> <br> Most entrepreneurs are very easy going, they’re intense, but they have an easy going nature about their business and they just want to have the freedom to just kind of let it go wherever, wherever it will go.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s always good to be flexible. But at the same time, if you do not have a concept of where you’re going, it’s tough to set priorities.<br> <br> <br> <br> Without priorities you’ll get caught up in little things.<br> <br> <br> <br> You either won’t pay enough attention to the right things or you pay too much attention or at the same time pay too much attention to the wrong things in the process of moving forward. Because it’s real easy to get to change the focus of where you’re going.<br> <br> <br> <br> It’s too easy to get caught up with the bright shiny object.<br> <br> <br> <br> Perfection is one of these things. It’s going too deep into one area that in the end doesn’t matter to your priority of the current time.<br> <br> <br> <br> And if you don’t have someone there who remembers what the priority is and who could remind you what the priority is at that time, then you’ll get caught up with trying to, you know, shine the hubcaps on your car when you really do need to get the engine running.<br> <br> <br> <br> This is just a thing that I’ve ran into over and over and over again. And I’m not a perfectionist.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m just not that type of person. I’m into quality. I’m into doing things right. I don’t want to have to come back and do it over, over and over again.<br> <br> <br> <br> I’d rather get it done right the first time, but I’m not much of a perfectionist and at the same time I still get caught up in trying to get this one area just right when really the pri...
