In 2018, I glued our biggest problem to the wall in our lobby. The words said: "All that we serve is quality, and we serve all with excellence." The intent was good — signal to our staff every time they walked in that we care about quality. But two words stuck in everyone's minds: "all" and "excellence." And a culture of perfectionism was born. Everything slowed down. Everyone was trying not to make a mistake. We stopped innovating. We stalled out — exactly the opposite of what I was hoping for. And I was the biggest perfectionist in the company. So during COVID, we tore those words down. And I came up with a new guiding principle: published is better than perfect. Get it out there. See how the world reacts. Refine as you go. You can see it in this very series — go watch my first Porch video. I was rambling. I had no idea what I was doing. I'm getting better because I published anyway. So here's my question: Are you stuck in the pit of perfectionism, or are you freeing yourself to just get stuff out there? This is Mike Thoughts from the Porch. Are you a recovering perfectionist too? Let me know in the comments 👇 #Perfectionism #FounderLife #Entrepreneurship #ContentCreation #SocialMediaExaminer
