I was in Vegas a few weeks ago for CES ...WOW! There's too much to see, to do, to eat and enjoy. I also made a number of interesting observations with respect to business. In addition, I did make a couple hundred bucks at the Bellagio, playing poker. It was an interesting game, 4-8 Texas Hold'em with a 1/2 kill. But more about that later.
There's an old saying: "The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary."
Well, what can you say about the price of perfection -- or talent?
One of the restaurants at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas offers two cognacs. One is named Perfection. The other is Talent.
The price of Perfection is $695.
But Talent? Talent costs $1,090!
Imagine the bar tender who gets a 20 percent tip for pouring those drinks!
Of course, there's a message here. Which is more important? Talent or Perfection?
One main cause of procrastination is the quest for perfection. People just can finish projects! Sometimes they are so overwhelmed with the idea of being perfect, they can't even get started.
They might be brilliant, but they can't get the job done.
On the other hand, talent is rare. It takes talent to come up with new ideas, see the boundless possibilities and put a plan in place to bring them to fruition.
