Embrace Imperfection and Seize Opportunities

About This Talk

Nearly everyone waits for the moment to be just right before moving forward. Chris names two honest reasons why, a little insecurity and a soft form of procrastination, and notes that the odds of perfect circumstances are pretty much zero. He asks listeners to move when they’re good enough to go and to trust themselves to figure out the rest along the way.

Key Ideas

• Waiting for perfect often comes from feeling a little insecure, and it’s a soft form of procrastination.
• Circumstances will never be exactly right, so move when you’re good enough to go and adapt along the way.
• When you catch yourself pausing, ask whether you’re waiting for all the planets to align or whether a few are enough.

“Have the confidence in your own ability that once you put that first step forward that you will make it the rest of the journey.”
