Imperfect action.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J Pombo Live.

I'm a Business Investor and so what that basically means is, I look into a lot of different types of businesses that work with a lot of different types of people and I've found that this is absolutely true.

Something that people have to keep reminding me of, because I like things to come out smooth and nice and look good, and not be rough around the edges. But imperfect action beats perfect inaction.

And that's a quote supposedly, by Harry Truman, I didn't do the research to see if it's a real quote or not but it's a good quote, regardless of who says it. That idea of imperfect action. I'll give you a good example. Because it fits into the activities of today.

So today, I was actually started yesterday, yesterday, I realized that I had told a lot of people that I was looking to do a webinar on Saturday, and all of a sudden, it occurred to me, that was only one day away.

So I had to rush together, come up with an email, make it official pick a time everything else, I finally got it out the door. And it became this thing that I all of a sudden, I had a timer to put the presentation together. And I got a lot of responses back, a lot of positive responses, a lot of people who weren't going to be able to make it so I had to record it for a particular project I'm working on.

So please don't come back and ask me what it was about unless you really know me well, because it's not important right here what it was about, it's for a very particular audience.

But I ended up getting all these people asking me about it and so I start lining people up to go to it and everything.

Then it's just this timer is going okay, now I got to get everything together.

I'm not really sure how long it's going to be. Not sure about all the different points, I'm going to make anything else.

So this 24 hour period of just cram, which tends to be how I do things and right before I set the date, I knew it was going to be like that I knew that if I was going to do it just right.

Excuse me, I knew if I was going to do it just right, you could tell him a little bit exhausted already today, a little more than usual.

Because I knew if it was going to be right. I had to spend a couple of months on it. It wasn't going to be right, it wasn't going to be perfect. I just need to get it out there. It's an idea. It's a concept. It requires conversation. It requires people to challenge it.

So I did it. I put together a PowerPoint presentation, which takes me a long time to do in general, and just kind of slapped the whole thing together.

Got it out the door got had an extremely low turnout for the number of people that I talked to, but it was also within like less than 24 hour period. But the point which they were being told officially, when where, and how was not good timing. Not the ideal day or time of day to get people onto a webinar.

So for the number of people that showed up, I was actually grateful. But at the same time, it's like you just kind of move sometimes and also the holiday. We're coming up on Thanksgiving, all this stuff was happening.

So just goes to show. imperfect action is necessary. Most of the time, you have to move the movement is more important than perfect m...
