Issue # 83 - April 3, 2012
Dear Jorge,

Wow, can you believe we just finished up the first quarter of 2012 already?

Now is a great time to get out those New Years resolutions, and see how you are progressing, and see what adjustments you can make now that you have one quarter behind you.

Back in the New Year's Day issue, I shared a strategy with you on the best way to super-charge your growth in 2012.

In today's Main Essay, I wanted to remind you of that strategy so you can get back on track with your growth for 2012, or so you can accelerate the great progress you've already made.

You will find that this strategy is short and sweet, and sounds so simple once you hear it.

But you will see a profound improvement in your business and life if you put this strategy into practice.

And if you are a perfectionist, then this may be the single most important strategy you ever learn about.  I have always been a perfectionist myself, and this strategy has transformed the way I work on projects.

In the Check It Out section, you learn about the biggest trend that will impact consumer spending in 2012.  Every type of business should take advantage of this trend, or be left behind by the competition.
 
We hope you enjoy this issue of the Business Thrival Newsletter.

The Secret To Continued Growth in 2012
By Denise Gosnell


I've mentioned before that I've always been a perfectionist who wanted every project I touch to be as good as it possibly can be.  Perhaps you can relate to this yourself?

In 2011, I was out of the office a lot dealing with the chaos of my house fire, negotiating the insurance settlement, and moving into a new home.  So I had to find ways to deal with my perfectionism while still allowing our company to make progress.

I came across a strategy that was taught by Dan Sullivan of Strategic Coach that really helped me understand why perfectionism and procrastination keep each of us from achieving as much as we are capable of.

In fact, perfectionism and procrastination are your worst enemies.  Here's why.

In most cases, once you get started and finish the first version of a project, your judgment will be that it is 80% done.  In other words, you will generally evaluate the quality of it and rate it as 80% of where you would like it to be.

And this is usually true whether you have spent a ton of time preparing for the project, or whether you just jumped right in without preparation.

So think about that for a minute.  This is a really profound concept.  Whether you jump right into a project without any preparation at all, or whether you spend days or even weeks preparing to start it, you will still feel like it is 80% finished in nearly every case once you actually jump in and complete the first iteration of it.

If that's true, then why in the world would any of us ever want to waste valuable time preparing to start?  We should just jump right in and get started, and focus on finishing the first 80% (the first version) as quickly as humanly possible.

In doing so, don't worry about being perfect.  Just focus on getting the 80% done.  Then, you evaluate the project and determine if the 80% quality level is good enough.  In most cases, it will be more than adequate for what was needed.  And you are done.  And if it's not, you can repeat the process.
Remember the Kindle announcement from Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon that we've been talking a lot about in the past few months?

It's one of the biggest developments since the launch of the web!

And it could radically change your bank account if you make it work for you (or leave you in the dust if you ignore this important consumer spending trend).

Here's a short video from Vic Johnson that shows you how to take advantage of the window of opportunity. This won't last long (the video explains why)…

So to re-cap, here's how the process works in more detail:

Focus on getting the project 80% completed as quickly as possible (i.e. the first version).  Then, evaluate whether it is worth spending time to improve it.  In the majority if instances, the 80% will be good enough and the project will be finished.

But if the first version is not good enough, then you repeat the process and focus on getting the next 80% done of the 20% that remains.  And again, once finished, you evaluate whether or not it is good enough.  If so, the project is done, and you can move on to another project.  But if it's not good enough, then you repeat the process yet again on the remaining 20% until it is "good enough".

I've now had the pleasure of hearing Dan Sullivan teach this strategy on two occasions through a high level CEO mastermind group that I participate in.  And in putting this strategy into practice, I can tell you that it really does work wonders in any type of business.

If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend that you give this strategy a try and watch your own productivity soar in the rest of 2012.

And once you see that it really works for you, please share this strategy with everyone on your team so that you can super-charge the results for your entire company.

Jynell and I are grateful to have the opportunity to provide this newsletter for you, and wish you continued success for the rest of 2012 and beyond.  We always enjoy hearing from you too, so please keep your comments coming.

Here is a recap of the amazing process that can super-charge your growth in 2012 and the coming years:

1.  Focus on getting the project 80% completed as quickly as possible (i.e. the first version).

2.  Then, evaluate whether it is worth spending time to improve it.  In the majority if instances, the 80% will be good enough and the project will be finished.

3.  If the first version is not good enough, then you repeat the process and focus on getting the next 80% done of the 20% that remains.

4.  And again, once finished, you evaluate whether or not it is good enough.  If so, the project is done, and you can move on to another project.

5.  But if it's not good enough, then you repeat the process yet again on the remaining 20% until it is "good enough".

Body:

Do you have any excess body fat that you are trying to shed away? If so, then start with reducing your fructose consumption. If you remember from high school, fructose is often called "fruit sugar" as it is found in higher amounts from fruit. It is also found in highly processed foods and beverages. Fructose is an unhealthy sugar because of the way the body absorbs it and converts it to fat. So, shrink your stomach by simply reducing this type of sugar.

Mind:

Your comprehension of material often goes up when you learn to speed-read. This is not only a good brain exercise, but you also get to learn a lot more in a less time. Try it out the next time you pick up a good book you want to read.

Spirit:

If something no longer serves a purpose in your life, it is clutter. Clutter can be a physical thing or even a belief. Holding onto useless items and self-defeating mental images will dampen your spirits. So, let go of useless attachments.
