Procrastination isn’t always laziness. For high achieving people, procrastination can look more like a fear of failure. High achievers stall because perfection feels like the only option. But here’s the truth: Perfection is rare. Momentum wins. Between fear and pressure lies the third door: “Good Enough.” Your first step doesn’t need to be flawless, it just needs to start. Stack enough “good enoughs,” and you’ll be unstoppable. This year, stop waiting for perfect. Open the third door. Start messy. Start now. Good enough today beats perfect someday. *inspired by Bert Bean, CEO

Procrastination really isn’t about laziness, it often points to workflow friction and a lack of clear priorities that teams need to address for better productivity.

There's no such thing as perfect, only progress. With progress comes growth, adaptability and confidence. Those are the qualities that will propel you forward.

Procrastination really can signal gaps in process design or unclear goals, and tackling those can help teams work way more effectively and confidently.

Can never enjoy that Ferrari if it’s always locked jn the garage.
