Done is better than perfect.

Stop chasing perfection and start achieving results

"Done is better than perfect."

Sheryl Sandberg


Perfection is exhausting, isn't it?

I mean, who hasn't stared at a project for hours, tweaking that one tiny detail that NO ONE else will even notice?

***

Listen, I've spent countless nights obsessing over font choices, pixel-perfect alignments, and whether that comma should actually be a semicolon.

[ Spoiler alert — not a single complaint about inappropriate punctuation. ]

***

Here's what I've learned in the trenches of business:

That landing page you're overthinking? … Launch it.

That partner email sitting in drafts? … Send it.

That proposal you keep editing? … Submit it.

Because waiting for “perfect” usually means waiting forever.

The most successful business owners aren't the ones with flawless execution — they're the ones who consistently take imperfect action.

Even if it makes them squirm a little. 😬

Victory Points

This issue has really focused on the illusion of perfection. 7 Wonders Architects (#ad) offers a bit more on the subject!

You're building ancient wonders here, but there's no time to second-guess. Because your neighbor is sitting there eyeing the card you want. 👀

Unlike its bigger sibling, Architects strips away the complexity and leaves you with a beautifully simple decision each turn — left, right, or center. That's it. No hand management. No agonizing over card combinations. Just quick picks and steady progress.

This game rewards momentum over perfection.

Keep building. Keep moving. Those pyramids won't construct themselves!

Sometimes the best strategy is just... deciding. Taking action. Moving forward with "good enough" and seeing where it leads.

Because let's be honest — the ancient wonders probably had a few wonky blocks too.


Make it a great week! 🙌
