Good Enough . . . . Doesn’t Cut It

Every success is built on the ability to do better

 than good enough.”

Zig Ziglar 1926 - 2012, American Author, Salesman, 

Motivational Speaker

   

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

Good enough . . . . doesn’t cut it

 

Good enough . . . . doesn’t cut it . . . .  and doesn’t get it done . . . . It’s becomes a prescription for mediocrity at best.

 

Good enough is taking the course of least resistances . . . . and attempting to get by with  minimum  efforts. A person that tries to get by with good enough . . . . will find themselves sliding backwards in their career . . . . Where they’re their goals becoming farther and out of their out of their reach.

 

Trying to get by with good enough . . . . becomes a destructive habit. Breaking the habit of good enough is a tipping point moment in your life. It will revitalize your career . . . . and get you back onto the right path on your success journey.

 

When you reach a fork in the road where the choice is between good enough . . . . and doing your best. You have reached a point on your success journey making the choice . . . . to do your best.

 

Success is achieved when you’re willing to stretch yourself forward . . . . to do the best you can  . . . . and never settling for good enough . . . .

 

Good enough . . . .  doesn’t cut it. Because good enough never is.

When some tells you that's good enough, it usually isn't.

Good enough funny, I hate things that are just good enough.  I try real hard to be the best and do more then expected.
