Sachin Patel explains how perfectionism traps you in procrastination, using his "Perfect Practice Live" event as proof that nothing goes flawlessly. He argues for "failing forward" instead: small mistakes you recover from quickly, not catastrophes that stop you cold.
Procrastination through perfectionism. And so we keep kind of kicking the can or delaying our greatness because we want to get it perfect. And even when we think it's perfect, it never quite works out that way. You know, the irony is that, you know, this event is called Perfect Practice Live, but I can assure you that it was far from perfect. From behind the scenes. And, you know, just putting it all together, there's a lot of mistakes that are going to happen or there's, you know, what we call failing forward that's going to happen. And as long as we fail forward, it's like when you fall, when you, when you fall on a mountain, you want to fall into the hill, not down the hill, right? So we fail forward, we fail upwards. And, you know, there's, there's always going to be a learning curve and we just have to have the courage and the confidence in our community to be able to, to know that, hey, if something goes wrong, it's not life or death. And it's usually something that can be resolved very quickly and something that, you know, you can reach out to your community for support if you can't figure out on your own.
