    Do You Know the Difference Between Commercial and Executive Suites?
    If you don’t, it could cost you a lot of money. Particularly if you’re a small business, start-up or a company looking for short-term office accommodations. At first glance you might say to yourself, “Executive suites sound way too expensive for my budget.” But don’t be fooled by a name. If you’re looking to set-up and staff an o

    So how do you know when being less than perfect IS not only adequate but IDEAL?

    Here's my 4-step formula.

    Once You Have Decided on Applying for a Loan you Should First Investigate the Money Lenders' Market
    Once you have decided on applying for a loan you should first investigate the money lenders’ market to acquaint yourself with the current interest rate and loan charges. You should check on the internet as well and see if the interest rates are the same as those of the banks in the high street. Be sure that you will be getting the best ra
    Have you ever been in a job interview where you were asked what your weaknesses were?

    Yeah, I know -- the idea is to give a weakness that could also be viewed as a strength!

    The truth is that weaknesses can be strengths and vice versa. And one of my weaknesses is being a perfectionist.

    But I'm not the only one, right? I bet, in certain areas of YOUR life, you're constantly tempted to keep on doing something until it's absolutely perfect.

    Well, being perfect doesn't always translate into being successful.

    Getting something 100% right can mean you end up wasting precious time and energy for no real pay-off... that you miss a time-sensitive opportunity... that you lose momentum and enthusiasm... that you don't even end up finishing what you started!

    Ring any bells?

    But then there ARE situations where being anything less than perfect is completely unacceptable. I'm reminded of my days as a lawyer where the mere thought of giving a client "imperfect" legal advice was inconceivable.

    And you'd hardly want your doctor to be less than perfect when he's performing surgery on you, right?

    All Children Left Behind
    The U.S. educational system was dysfunctional fifty years ago, due in no small part to the desires and manipulations of government. In fifty years it has only become worse for the same reasons. I can hear the echoes. We need scientists, mathematicians and more teachers if we are going to compete in a global economy. And what pray tell, woul
    than perfect when he's performing surgery on you, right?

    So how do you know when being less than perfect IS not only adequate but IDEAL?

    Here's my 4-step formula.

    Ask yourself these questions when you embark on task or project:

    1. Would anything less than perfect be acceptable by most people's standards?

    -- If no, then aim for perfection.
    -- If yes, move on to Question 2.

    2. Does getting it perfect improve the result in a substantial way?

    -- If yes, then get it perfect.
    -- If no, move on to Question 3.

    3. Does getting it perfect improve the result in a small, but noticeable way?

    -- If yes, get it perfect.
    -- If no, move on to Question 4.

    4. Is getting it perfect necessary to satisfy some internal need?

    -- If yes, and the matter is NEITHER time-sensitive nor "energy-sensitive" (energy-sensitive: the longer it drags on the less likely you are to finish it), then get it perfect.

    -- If no, then...

    FORGET ABOUT GETTING IT PERFECT AND JUST GET IT DONE!

    Now, this doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't improve something over time. While I don't recommend continuing to "tweak" something just for the sake of it, I strongly recommend improving something if it cost-effectively generates better results.
