Perfectionism, right? Yes, it is!

I don't know if you have read the book Lean Entrepreneurship. This book can be regarded as a book that all people who want to start a business should read. This book gives a systematic method to tell you how to start a business to improve the probability of success.

If we want to give the book Lean Entrepreneurship a summary slogan, this slogan may be called: completion is greater than perfection.

Explain this sentence in a very vernacular way, that is, do everything first, then ask for it, and then ask for it.

1. I don't know if you have ever used the "cable TV" App. There are many TV dramas to watch in this App.

However, the App "line TV" was not developed by Line itself, but was acquired by Line.

This application named "Cable TV" was formerly called Worm Fire Valley TV Station. The founder graduated from Jiao Tong University and is also my senior.

Worm Fire Valley TV Station was started by two founders, who started their business around 20 1 1.

If you had asked them what career you wanted to start, you would never have got the answer that they wanted to make an audio-visual App.

They will only say to you: "Oh, we want to catch up with the entrepreneurial trend of App. As for what kind of App to develop, I don't know yet. Anyway, let's do it first. 」

What is completion greater than perfection? This is that completion is greater than perfection.

2. In the United States, there is a famous experiential learning master named david kolb, who once put forward a theory called "learning circle".

What is a learning circle? Learning circle contains four elements, namely, experience, reflection, law and action.

The specific way is: we reflect from experience, refine the law in the process of reflection, and finally use the law to guide our actions.

But the question is, how can we gain experience? There is only one answer, and that is: action.

So what does David Kerr's "learning circle" tell us? It tells us: action is very important, do it first.

Why? Because you can gain experience by doing it first, and you can start learning circles with experience.

If you have no experience at first and always want to do it perfectly, you will never figure it out.

What does David Kerr's "learning circle" theory tell us? It tells us the importance of "completion is greater than perfection".

3. If you run to the founder Zuo, you ask him: Is completion more important than perfection, or perfectionism more important?

He may look at you with an incredible face, and he will first think: How can you ask such a question? Then tell you: Of course, completion is greater than perfection.

Why? Because Facebook believes in the spirit of "perfection is greater than perfection".

On Facebook, you will often hear someone tell you that completion is greater than perfection.

I like a sentence called "learning by doing" very much, because it embodies "completion is greater than perfection".

Just like there is a saying on the Internet, "You don't love if you don't know what love is; You must love before you know what love is. 」

So, why do you believe the phrase "completion is greater than perfection"? Because: you don't know what perfection looks like at first. You must do something first, and then finish something to get closer to perfection.
