Have you ever wondered how our hosts have changed over time and how their Podcast, despite some imperfections, contributes to their growth story? What important lessons can you apply from this episode to implementing imperfect action in your personal and professional life?   In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, our hosts Josh Payne and David Bayliff discuss the concept of imperfect action. They emphasize the importance of taking action, even if it's not perfect when growing a business. They acknowledge that clinicians, in particular, often strive for perfection, but explain how this mindset can lead to procrastination and lack of progress. They encourage listeners to embrace imperfect action and highlight the benefits it can bring. They even mention that even though they have improved over time, people still enjoy going back and listening to their earlier episodes because it showcases their imperfections and growth.   The hosts also apply this concept to personal goals, such as going to the gym or eating healthier, stating that taking imperfect action is better than not taking any action at all. Overall, the episode emphasizes the importance of embracing imperfections and taking imperfect action, as it makes individuals more relatable and resonates with others.   Furthermore, our hosts will touch on topics such as Celebrating the fifth anniversary of the podcast with the topic of the importance of imperfect action in growing a business, no matter what stage of the business. Imperfect action and its importance, and why it is always better than perfect inaction: “Delaying taking action on something is depriving others of care.” Imperfect action that gets the results and some funny mishaps: “You can be as prepared as you want, but it is the imperfect action that gets the results.” A coach's advice on taking imperfect actions, and how David has gotten a lot better at coaching and consulting over the last five years, but he's still not perfect. How striving for perfection is futile and discusses the difference between imperfect and massive action.   Hack: The caveat is that you will never be perfect. Embrace imperfect action to overcome excuses, procrastination, and fear. Tackle tasks that terrify you, as they hold the power to propel you forward, deliver value to customers, and amplify your voice globally.   BREAKING NEWS!
