In this brief motivational monologue, Kevin Surace argues that waiting for perfection hinders success. He emphasizes that the most successful people act quickly and accept imperfection, stating that perfection is unattainable in products, relationships, or any endeavor. Surace urges listeners to stop hesitating, start moving, and view perfection as the enemy of greatness.

The people who are winning right now are not waiting for perfect. They are moving and they are moving fast. And it is a mistake today to wait for perfection. Perfection is the enemy of winning because you're never going to get a product that's perfect, a relationship that's perfect, anything else that's perfect. It's not going to happen. Don't wait for perfection. Get moving. Get started. Don't hesitate. Perfection is the enemy of greatness.
