  • finally have these in question.

  • How do you draw the line between perfectionism versus high standards is actually quite simple.

  • Okay, Those who are a perfectionist, they are waiting and waiting for everything to line up.

  • Right.

  • I'm gonna give you a simple example, right.

  • I want to go from here to West Vancouver.

  • Okay?

  • I have to go over the bridge.

  • Perfectionist.

  • It's I Wait, let me wait till that.

  • The road has absolutely no traffic.

  • There's no passengers.

  • In fact, I want to make sure all the lights I'm gonna time it perfectly that it's going to be all green every step of the way before I will stop the car.

  • That's imperfections.

  • If you're letting your perfectionist in you to prevent you from taking action and making progress, then you're not gonna get very far vs.

  • If you actually making progress, you're like, Okay, I'm gonna go just like someone.

  • If you're driving, you go.

  • And Oh, this is stop.

  • Will you stop?

  • Wait for a few seconds.

  • Okay.

  • Then I go.

  • Oh, there's a person crossing the road.

  • Okay, good.

  • I wait.

  • When you go, he's a car that stops.

  • Let me navigate around that right So if you let your perfection perfectionism stopped you from taking action, that's the difference.

  • Setting high standards.

  • Meaning.

  • Okay, I want to go from here to there west.

  • Then again, and it's gonna take me 30 minutes.

  • I'm not talking about speeding.

  • I'm not in Africa of speeding.

  • I'm just giving example.

  • Ah, and his 30 minutes, I wonder you go set a higher standard.

  • Can I get there in 25 minutes?

  • Can I get there in 24 minutes?

  • Right.

  • That's high standard that is not stopping me from starting the engine and going.

  • They're setting high stone or and not a standard 30 minutes.

  • Can I go there that I have a passenger right next to me will have a baby next to me.

  • I'm gonna drive there, but I'll make sure that I drive in such a way.

  • It's so smooth and so steady that I don't wake up the baby.

  • That's a standard.

  • It's a different, different former standard.

  • High Standard has nothing to do with being a perfectionist.

  • Say the truth is, most perfectionists they're using that as an excuse there, using that as a way not to take action.

  • They're using that as a way to don't want to fail, Don't want to look bad and want to look foolish instead of taking action so they all want to make it all perfect.

  • No, you don't want to go Perfect.

  • You don't want to do anything because you don't want to fail.

  • That's the problem.

  • So my recommendation and he's a word.

  • I'm gonna teach you.

  • Progression ist Don't be a perfectionist.

  • Be a progression ist inch by inch.

  • You don't have to get it right.

  • You just have to get it going Pond on that.
