I’m a recovering perfectionist who now lives and breathes the 80/20 rule. You’ll get 80% of your results from just 20% of your efforts so work out what that 20% is and cut out the rest.
Here’s an example. Today I shot 5 videos to be used on my website sales pages and to send you messages while I am away in Thailand for the most of April. One take, minimal script, no edits and nothing fancy. Over and done in 30 minutes then another 30 or so to upload. Sure they’re not slick and professional but they get the message across and they are authentically me. And importantly….they’re done. What have you been putting off because it needs to be perfect?
OK, so some takes just don’t work. Thought I’d share with you a blooper that didn’t even make it past the 5 second mark

Oh Janet, you’re so real! Love this – it made me smile (and maybe giggle a little….). Thanks for sharing.
Hey Lenore – now that Janet has led the way, will we be seeing your bloopers?
Love your realness. I’ll bet you could win $100,000 for that one!
Remind me when I get back to share an edited blooper from an audio interview I did when my guest and I met in person over dinner and then met in my room to do the interview. Something funny happened and we both got the giggles so much we couldn’t keep the interview going. I forgot to turn off the recorder and we gut laughed for a good 5 or 10 minutes. I keep the out take to listen to for a good giggle every now and then.
