Make the mistakes, because making them is better than never starting at all. We have all feared the mistakes we might make, and it paralyzes us from taking action. But if we just accept right off the bat, that we are going to make mistakes and that nothing is going to be perfect, we can at least stop making excuses and finally get started.
Here are some examples: You want to publish a blog post but you are afraid it isn’t grammatically correct. You need to call a client but you keep procrastinating for fear of saying the wrong thing. You don’t turn in an assignment because you are afraid of being ridiculed for your errors. Well, why not just say to yourself, “I am taking this fear of making mistakes with me, and I am doing it anyway.” This gives yourself permission to not have to get it right the first time. Your only job is to take action.
