The least work possible
In an ideal world, you’d know what value your customers are buying.
Sure, the container for that value is your product or service, the line item…
It’s so easy to get away with good enough.
It hurdles the bar.
Maybe only just.
But over it sails and lands on the other side ready to get on with the next thing, and on with the next thing it gets.
Just.
The problem isn’t with its good enough-ness. It’s that success like that teaches that just clearing the hurdle is ok, that success looks like a one millimetre delta, that doing the least work possible is a good day out.
Which is true – if that’s all you’re shooting for.
If all you want is to get through the day without getting fired.
Good enough is good enough.
