Are you a black-and-white kinda guy or gal? I mean, do you have things you’d like to do but haven’t started because you’re not ready to give them your full attention?
You know what I mean. You either do things full force, or not at all. You don’t want to start a newsletter or blog, write a book, or join a networking group because of the perceived immensity of the task or the ongoing commitment.
You’re a perfectionist. And you aren’t getting things done.
Of course you know that by not doing certain things, you’re losing some great benefits. How many new clients, new cases, and new opportunities are you missing out on by putting off these things?
But what can you do?
I’ll tell you what you can do. You can stop thinking about the big picture (and avoiding it) and just do “one thing†to advance the project.
Instead of writing an entire book, write one page a day.
Instead of becoming a networking ninja, set a goal to meet one new professional this week.
Instead of putting off calling all of your former clients to say hello, make one phone call today.
One is a powerful number. It is the difference between not doing and doing.
You can do one.
One page, one idea, one phone call. Progress, not perfection.
So figure out one thing you can for each of your important projects and do it. One thing a day, one thing a week, one thing a month, or just one thing for now.
If you can do that one thing, even once, you can do it again. Before you know it, the project will be complete or, if it’s an ongoing project, well underway.
