EP 119 | Perfection Versus Messy Action… Which Gets Better Results?

This past weekend I was officiating a volleyball tournament and throughout the season observed an interesting situation. You could have a textbook team that clearly was highly talented, phenomenal skills, and one might think they should obliterate the other teams who did not appear to have as seasoned players. 

 

The most interesting thing would happen as the “perfect” team would be on the court with the “sloppy” team. The not as skilled team would take messy action, scrappily send the ball over the net, throw off the perfect team, and make them have an error.

 

This got me to thinking about two perspectives: 

 

1) It’s evidence of the power of presence and what happens when we are surrounded by people not at our level. How it can minimize or diminish us, and the impact that can have. 

 

2) How messy action leads to results, there is no need to wait for perfection, we can be successful and get closer to achieving our desires by simply taking sloppy steps. 

 

Let’s put this into context for you taking action towards the dream of quitting your job. More than likely, you feel like you have to have the perfect plan, aligning all the pieces, and having everything precisely in place. I can feel and describe that so perfectly because I went through that very exact experience. I was an analyst for goodness sake, it was my job to plan, strategize, and have all things perfectly in place.

 

When I was thinking about quitting my job, I thought I had to have every single thing figured out to a T. That was hopeless and not beneficial. Sure, a plan was a helpful guide, but it wasn’t the end all be all. As you listen in, you can decide which approach gains you better results.
