#005 Setting up And Why 'Done' is Better Than Perfect
Join Gordon as he explains the initial steps required to create a business and why being a perfectionist can slow you down. He reflects on his personal experience of setting up this podcast to effectively demonstrate ‘why done is better than perfect’. If you are thinking about starting a business this episode explains clearly how to begin.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Select a Name
A company name should be something that is easily recognisable and identifiable with what the company does. When you have a list of possible names Google them to ensure there is not a similar company name in your area.
Register your Company
Register your company with Companies House. An initial check on their website will ensure you have the details required when you complete the registration with them online.
Set up a Website
Your website needs to be straight forward and easily accessible. It is important that people can see what you do and the services you are offering. Vital components of a successful website are the contact details and information about how people can interact with you on social media.
Your website is a showcase for your business. To ensure it works well seek feedback from friends and customers. Your website should grow with your business and it is important to keep it up to date.
Why Done is Better Than Perfect
It’s important to learn that getting something completed is preferable to an extended time frame and possible non-completion. Once a product is out there, there is the opportunity to continue to make improvements as you go along.
‘Take advantage of the opportunity of a lifetime in the lifetime of the opportunity’
Eric Thomas
If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late’ Reid Hoffman
The key is to build continuous improvement which leads to sustainability across all aspects of your life.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Talk to someone you know who has already done it’
‘Always wanted to have the perfect answer, wanted to give 100% of what people needed’
‘Nothing wrong with being a perfectionist, it just it slows you down’
‘Building on the next thing then going back and improving’
