Default Fighting Perfection!

Just a quick thought about how this can all get overwhelming pretty fast.

I've been working on my test site and getting that set up, and I guess I've just read WAY TOO MUCH literature on what you 'should' do to make the perfect/best/most money making/ attention grabbing/ website possible that'll create sales! Ad-copy! Web-Copy! Olgivy on advertising! Web Copy that Sells! Direct Marketing tactics!

ha... I feel like I've been writing strong ad-copy for weeks and I'm still revising it all!

Actually. I'm finally at the point where I just need to add my email capture device onto the website, strengthen my 'ask for the sale' portion, setup the paypal checkout screen, and then the google adwords.


Oh. and get the blog going.

Lol. That's all. ha.

I'm really fighting the urge for perfection since it's causing me to take much longer on this than I wanted. :-)

Now I'm racing to get it up and then once it's up, revise as I go along.

Luckily... my break even point is at only 10 units.

Here we go!

Woo!

Go MarkRoX!

You're doin great!

I'm sure things can be a bit overwhelming but you'll break through and look back on this experience as something absolutely awesome!

Striving to make things the best you can be is always a worthy goal; however, absolute perfection is impossible.

Just do the best you can with what you have and I'm sure you'll succeed!

70% is good enough

Sell the first 10 units, then invest the money in buying some time or expertise to improve the site.

It's always a temptation to tweak until it's proud but it's that last bit of perfecting that takes so long and frankly probably doesn't make such a difference

Cheers

Pete
