Speed is a game-changer.
Being first in the market, first to adjust, and first to respond to customer inquiries – speed conquers them all.
Moreover, embracing speed as your ally will compel you to shift your mindset from a quest for perfection to one focused on adaptation and execution.
Take Google, for example. It started as the 13th web search tool, but its journey to fame and fortune was paved with avoiding the pitfalls that frustrated users of other search engines. They swiftly adapted to user preferences without waiting for a flawless version of themselves to emerge.
Remember when Gmail proudly sported the “beta version” tag for a whopping 5 years? Google’s message was clear: they were committed to constant improvement. When they shed the beta tag, this mindset extended to other tools like Calendar, Docs, and Talk.
Fast forward, and now Google boasts a plethora of apps. They don’t bother with beta labels frequently; instead, they keep pushing forward, updating their tools at the pace the market demands.
Here’s a thought experiment: How many times have your products or services seen innovation or updates in the past 2 years?
In the realm of business, it’s not about pursuing perfection; it’s about speed and adaptation. Choose wisely, my friends.
