Have you waited to be perfect, and watched someone with less ability and worse skills step in and take the prize that was yours? Join Neil today to discover why you should never aim to be perfect, only gloriously imperfect. Neil discusses why perfection is a toxic myth, why waiting for perfection may mean you miss out on achieving your dreams and why imperfection acts as a springboard to better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A toxic myth – affecting you as tutors and teachers, in your lives as entrepreneurs and in the ordinary world is to aim for perfection. Perfection is the highest possible state of a thing, there is no growth to be done as it’s already at its ultimate state.
• Too many people wait for the perfect moment and It’ll never happen. As people wait they get older and sooner or later will die – perhaps wishing they hadn’t waited so long to get started or never got started at all.
• Perfection is a great lie, told to keep us in line by making us fear that it is bad to not strive for perfection. The importance placed on being perfect is toxic. Propagated by people who mean to protect us from the knocks and bumps of trying. They mean well, but if we wait to be perfect we cannot grow, evolve, try, or succeed.
• Imperfect is a way of life and acts as a springboard to better. Nobody is perfect. Nobody ever. Perfect must die and instead you should aim to be gloriously imperfect.
