Perfection is overrated ➡️ That's why half the old school marketers fail today when it comes to project-based work like product launches or campaigns......especially in the digital space. ➡️ You see, the digital landscape changes rapidly. ➡️ You're always going to find things that you can do to make your product or your campaign better. ? But you need to know when to draw the line and launch it anyway. ➡️ In my estimate, anything between 75% to 90% may not be fully perfect but is perfect to launch. If you wait until it is 100% perfect, that means you've wasted too much time already. ➡️ Besides, if you wait until it's 100% perfect, that means you haven't made a mistake even once. And that means you've probably spent too much time on it. ? Getting it done and launched today is better than waiting for it to be perfect in a week or two and losing out to your competition. ? Are you a perfectionist when it comes to marketing? Photo courtesy @jhoxmark via @unsplash #marketing #digitalmarketing #perfectionist #perfection #opportunity #productlaunch

Timendi Causa Est Nescire – ‘The cause of fear is ignorance.’ ? ? One of the main reasons we are afraid is because we don't know stuff... ? Now, I'm not claiming to know everything.

I need to know as much as I can about it so that I can help others......and in doing so, help myself. ?‍? ? I used to be scared of doing new things because I didn't know how to do them. ?
