You can do hard things.
Even if you sometimes have to settle for “good enough.”
People like to tell you that “good enough” isn’t enough, but honestly? Most of the time it is.
Because nothing is ever perfect. Nothing can ever be perfect.
Do the things that scare you. That are hard. That show you to be imperfect (or as I like to think of it, still in process…always growing).
This past week, I made a bet with my accountability group. And I MEANT IT.
(Bets only work if you know someone is going to hold you to them)
I bet them $50 EACH that I would get this list of things done by our next meeting:
Do 75 auditions
Write and post my blog
Send 5 agent roster submissions
Follow up with a voiceover manager
Send out info about my free webinars
Send emails to all of my past/current clients
Send three states worth of cold email outreach
Do 15 minutes of yoga and at least a 5 minute meditation every single day
For each of these tasks, I guesstimated how much time they would take, and estimated all of it to be around 20 hours. I’d say that was probably pretty accurate.
The blog posts always take me longer, though, than I think they will.
So that is why, today, instead of the blog post I already have written, which I don’t think is, shall we say, fully cooked…you get this one. The “good enough” post.
The post that reminds you that sometimes, when everything is a priority, you can choose which things can be “good enough.”
It’s just past midnight on Sunday night (so technically that makes it Monday morning), and I have just finished three hours straight of writing and scheduling emails to past clients. To finish my task list, I need to get this blog out in the morning, and I’d like to sleep, so I’m sure you will all forgive me this one time for keeping it short and writing a bit off the cuff.
I hope this inspires you to commit to a task. Push it through to completion. And remember that done imperfectly is better than never done at all.
#truth
Most of the time, what stops us from doing these tasks at all is the fear of being imperfect…
So let me just remind you:
You are GOOD ENOUGH.
(for now, anyway 😉)
