Take imperfect action.

~ Kate Erickson: EOFire

How many times have you refrained from taking action on a problem because of the what-ifs? 

The thought process goes like this: Well, I can do xyz, but what if (insert new problem) happens? Then what do I do? I just don’t know how to proceed…. Before you know it, you’re paralyzed and you’ve talked yourself out of doing anything.

This week’s guest, Kate Erickson of EOFire, knows how it feels to be stuck and frustrated. Often, Kate felt like her life was moving in a one-step forward, two-steps back progression–or regression. But once Kate learned to let go of the emotion accompanying her situations and take imperfect action, she began looking for the opportunities in challenges and released herself from expecting a perfect outcome.

Here at Brilliantly Resilient, we know that nothing is perfect–neither our plans nor their intended outcomes. Waiting for perfection is the best way to ensure failure. So, “take imperfect action” is excellent advice, and one of our favorite mantras, to keep things moving and evolving towards progress and success–even if it’s not the progress you envisioned.

As we celebrate Women’s History Month, tune into this episode of the Brilliantly Resilient podcast to hear more of the brilliant Kate Erickson’s practical, simple strategies for success. Let’s be Brilliantly Resilient together!
