The level of perfectionism is dictated by the size of the end users wallet, right?Flywheel I agree Eric, a small business can not afford the luxury of perfectionism; the consumer rarely can either.

I apologize for intruding on your company BLOG, but I'm going to anyway. Remember, before you can declare that you have "quality" you must know what quality is - - that you get what you expect, but if you don't know what you expect, it's hard to know if you've arrived. Deadlines are essential for avoiding analysis paralysis. Perfection is often a target of failed enterprises.OOPS, sorry for starting to get on a soapbox, but the subject of quality has been a sensitive topic for me. It sounds like you at INFUSION know where you are going and are making terriffic progress.Congrats to all of you!!. . . Allan Eric, Excellent points!!

OOPS, sorry for starting to get on a soapbox, but the subject of quality has been a sensitive topic for me. It sounds like you at INFUSION know where you are going and are making terriffic progress.

Congrats to all of you!!

We wait to release our product, service, program or even something as simple as an email communication until it is “absolutely perfect.” Your suggestion to set strict deadlines and a form of accountability is the best and most of the time, only solution to fighting perfectionism.

I appreciate your post and in departing I would add this wise counsel once shared with me, “Version one is far better than version none.”
