Why Accepting Mediocrity Will Help You Reach Your Goals

There's a big career goal you've been dreaming of. You want to move into management, change careers, start a side hustle, or establish yourself as a thought leader.

So, you researched it and came up with a plan. As you began, you had a lot of fire and energy. But, then, you found you couldn't take the necessary steps to follow through.

In other words, you revamped all of your materials, but stopped yourself from applying to any jobs in a new field. Or, you designed the first half of a website for a side gig, but couldn't decide how to finish it, so it's yet to go live. Or, you drafted a post an on issue in your industry, but you never got around to publishing it.

People who think you just need to put in a little more time or effort have it all wrong. You set time aside repeatedly, and genuinely want to see it through. In fact, it's your quest to perfectly attain your dream that's holding you back.
