29: There is No Perfect Time to Jump from a Moving Train

Mt. Nebo Leadership Podcast: Leaders Lift

Summary

Instead of waiting around for perfection as I discussed last week, we should be more deliberate and think about when good enough is good enough. In this week's episode of Leaders Lift, I'll talk about what that means and how we can shift our thinking so we aren't sitting around waiting for perfection that will probably never arrive. Join me for the conversation. And if you haven't listened to episode 28, maybe do that first.
