Replicate your Success with Style

Don’t Wait for Perfection to Rollout

If you try to anticipate and account for every last detail of a new process of initiative you may find yourself stymied by fear, indecision and overwhelm. Relax into the knowledge that very few things ever get executed absolutely perfectly the first time around, yet they work out just fine anyway. Getting the experience under you belt of trying something new is a big win in and of itself. This tip echos one of the great pieces of advice Bestselling author Emily Giffin gave at the LittlePINKBook event: let go of perfectionism, and get over trying to be flawless in every area. Do your best, it will always be good enough.

Replicate and Repeat, Rather than Reinvent

Successful businesses know how to fine tune what works and do the same good stuff over and over again. Economies of scale are built through repetition. That hum of a finely tuned machine running is the sweet song of profits rising. If you are always trying to do something brand new, you’ll never be able to exploit and build equity from all that experience you’ve been building up. Focus on what works, then start planning on how to do it over and over and over again, getting better each time.
