You know Jeff, you could a been a real success if you hadn't been such a perfectionist in those early years!!!
Isn't it funny how we really do learn from that first article. I remember writing and editing that first one for days. YUK. I write and post in fifteen minutes now.
That is so funny I am still laughing and so me… Now I have my resource box done… I can submit the articles.. had to have first things first… and the links and blog all ready.. now GO!
Whoa Nellie … this is ME! I've always said that perfectionism is NOT a blessing, it's a curse! I love this cartoon because it speaks volumes to not only all the perfectionists out there, but to all the procrastinators, as well. Thanks for sharing this with us, Jeff. A giggle is a great way to start the weekend.
I thought this cartoon was about me for a moment – it's my perfectionism that's keeping me from uploading new articles. I keep thinking they need just a little more editing…
Thanks for the kick in the behind to get me past perfectionism!
Jeff so true and I can relate to the message here. When working with clients they often have perfectionism and this results in unrealistic goal setting. That leads to failure and that's when a coach can help.

LOL! I'm a technical writer and sometimes it feels like each page takes a week to generate and perfect.
