As motivational speaker Les Brown reminds us, “Life has no limitations except the ones we create.” Choosing an attitude of excellence comes with setting high standards for your quality of work. However, once these expectations are consistently translated into the need to be perfect before any action is taken or decision is made, it could quickly lead to the opposite effect in your efforts to move up and forward. The mind is a powerful thing, and consistent fear of not being good enough can bring about indecision, procrastination and self-doubt. Facebook recognised that problem when they painted the by now famous quote on their office  walls: “Done is better than perfect”. Being successful has as much to do with skills and determination, as it has with the “right” mindset.
