Achievers concern themselves with excellence, but do not obsess over perfection. Things get done by doing them in the real world, not by putting them off until conditions are perfect.

In the time you spend worrying about whether or not to do something, it could have been done. In the time you spend worrying aobut whether it’s the perfect time to get going, you could already be far ahead.

Achievers and excellence are built not by fearing the mistakes but by confidently handling the mistakes and the surprises that come along. The will to succeed includes the willingness to live with the very real possibility that things can go wrong.

Go beyond merely dreaming and planning and speculating aobut the ideal way to reach your goal. Make use of whatever you have available to get it done.
