One of the key principles of Exponential Mindset Thinking is “Perfection is the poison of profitability.”
Simply put, stop trying to be perfect and just get SH*T DONE.
This table tennis ball “picker-upper” has been repaired and looks far from perfect, but it’s fit-for-purpose to pick up ping pong balls. My local club has people who are less than gentle with the equipment and all of the ball pickers have had to be “Frankensteined.”
We would like everyone to treat their equipment with care and respect, but when that’s not possible, this is the next best thing. Replacing the broken equipment with new one(s) does not solve the problem because they are NOT made strongly enough to resist the abuse they’re subjected to.
Trying to have “perfect” ball picker-uppers would cost HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR whereas these “Frankenstein” repairs are admittedly “ugly”, but durable!
This Mental Model applies to all aspects of your life, business and career. Please feel free to share your examples with me, I’m always curious to see what people come up with!
