Ok…for those that know me realize that this week is a National Holiday: Opening Day of Deer Hunting Season.  Well of course that is an exaggeration…but because of my Dad’s legacy…it will always be a holiday to me.  But this week’s TRIPLE III TIME message: “Not Perfect…But Perfectly Attempted” …is not specifically about the hunt.  Rather it focuses on the importance of just going after the opportunity!

First, I have long preached that PERFECTION doesn’t exist.  If that were the case we would still have black and white TVs, wall phones, and cars that only get 10 miles per gallon.  Why…because back then that was perfection.  Today I believe PURSUING PERFECTION is “where-the-action-is”!  For all that I work with I advise and mentor the importance of NOT waiting for that perfect situation, but instead take advantage of whatever goal you are seeking and strongly seize the moment.  In my consultant messaging I try to stress the high value gained in just trying a new approach and being an example-setter.

Today if you were to ask me to give everyone a solid example of a “Not Perfect”….But Perfectly Attempted” action…I would quickly return to this years hunt.  My youngest son never worries about getting a buck that surpasses the biggest one his Dad has got.  No his focus is making everything about the hunt: Location (hunting blind), Service (food plot), Timing (get up early), and Equipment (gun/bow/binoculars/hand warmer/etc.) is as perfect as it can be.

BOTTOMLINE: PURSUE PERFECTION and focus on Location, Service, Timing and Equipment in completing your day job. If you do, I believe you will find reward when following a “Not Perfect…But Perfectly Attempted” course of action.
