When you decide to undertake a project there are many points to consider, both positive as negative must be evaluated to be prepared for any eventuality, in addition, it is very important to be able to be somewhat flexible to the decisions, methods or deadlines, of the venture, because when a problem arises you are prepared to make a change.
In our article, 5 tips before starting a project we talked about some important considerations that must be taken into account when you decide to start a business, because, when you listen to the word “undertaking” some people consider it is something simple and quick to do, however, it is something that takes time, organization, planning and a lot of will. Therefore, the following lines we will explain the reasons why being a perfectionist is not useful in the moment of the undertaking, although, as it was mentioned before, an organization must be maintained.
Limit the advance
As a perfectionist, a lot of time is spent in planning, organizing and carrying out a business, which slows down the progress you may have, with the aim of keeping everything in order, perfect and without any mistakes. That is why, as we mentioned before, you must be flexible, be able to adapt to the situation and offer a good service, because, the knowledge and motivation to start a business are already there, you just have to trust in the capabilities and skills you have on the field.
It causes a sense of fear
Perfectionism is a fear demonstration, which limits and does not allow you to show what you want, there are various reasons, maybe for fear that other’s opinion is negative, for being insecure and thinking that you are not good enough or to avoid failure and stay in the comfort zone; certainly, all human beings avoid being rejected, criticized or fail in what they propose. That is why you have to take action despite the fear; you must face it by giving your best and being sure of your abilities.
Curbs knowledge
As we have indicated above a lot of time is spent in the search for perfection, sometimes excessive, and a natural resource is lost that cannot be recovered. For this reason, we must always bear in mind that mistakes will be made, no matter how well organized we are, unforeseen events will arise and must be corrected as they appear.
Being able to make mistakes at the moment of undertaking makes you acquire experience in the field you are developing, furthermore, is the best way to gain. When you avoid at all costs having failures in performing a business you are slowing down the knowledge, being able to advance; in fact, you are losing the opportunity for the emergence of a new or better way to elaborate the venture.
