Get It Going and Adjust

 

"You don't have to get it right,

you just have to get it going."

Mike Lilman

  

As I see it. . . . . . . .

Get it going and adjust.  

Everything doesn't have to be right to get started.  

If you're waiting for a time that you can get everything right before you start, you'll never get started; there's no perfect time.  

Make the best decision you can to get started and move forward. Monitor your results and where things are not meeting your expectations; make the adjustment to get them on track.

Inaction creates far more risk then actions that need's adjustments.  

Get it going and adjust where needed.

I think that  you are absolutely right.  Just get started and push through it.  That is a great attitude and philosophy for everything you do in life!

This reminds me of the analogy of a plane flying from Los Angeles to Honolulu. They're off course 90% of the time, but by making small adjustments along the way, they land on a tiny island paradise in the middle of the Pacific.

Inaction creates far more risk then actions that need's adjustments.

Lou, I once worked for a man who told me I would never get fired for taking action, we could always adjust afterwards. He told me he would fire me if I stood by and lost an opportunity. This man barely made it through high school but at his death his estate was worth $61 million in 1994. Great men take chances...

Momentum.

I have experienced and continue to believe that a large part of success in life can be attributed to simply "showing up" on a regular and consistent basis.

On another, note, Paul, that is an amazing example of the power of action.

Lou,

Great idea. A variation on the theme to just do it without worrying about whether everything is in place. :)

The space between in action and inaction is more than important.  It makes a big difference.
