Have you ever heard of perfection rejection?
It’s not exactly what you think it may be, though.
Let me explain. Perfection rejection is really just something that’s really good news. And you’re probably asking, “What are you talking about?”
Well, I say this tongue in cheek but not completely. But I always tell my class or my students: perfection is the devil.
Why? Perfection is what is blocking you from getting seen, getting heard, and getting paid. It’s blocking you. I like to call this the P-word.
But there’s good news, too.
There are four other P words that will help you prevent perfection rejection.

What is marketing?
Well, what comes to mind almost immediately is the process that goes into selling a product or service. Whether you decide to run an ad on Facebook to learning more about your company’s competitors, all of this and more is a part of marketing.
But did you know there’s four main types?
Called content, partnership, event, and digital marketing, everything you thought of marketing falls in either one of these categories.

There once was a quote by Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, that goes like this: “Your mentors in life are important, so choose them wisely.”
Oprah Winfrey even has something to say about mentorship as well:
“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself. A mentor is someone who allows you to know that no matter how dark the night, in the morning joy will come. A mentor is someone who allows you to see the higher part of yourself when sometimes it becomes hidden to your own view.”
Even Mark Zuckerberg, creator of social media platform Facebook, was mentored by none other than the late Steve Jobs. Heck, even Steve had a mentor: Mark Markkula (he was one of Apple’s earliest investors).
If you’re in any of my Facebook groups, you may already know how many times I tell everyone how important it is to have a mentor. Mentors help promising people become the very best in three ways.

I was the little girl from a small plantation town on a tropical island who wanted it all.
When I was in 2nd grade and all of the rest of the kids said they wanted to be a doctor, firefighter or teacher, I declared I wanted to be the General Counsel (head attorney) for Coca-Cola International – because they were the highest paid person and I could travel the world. Sister Aurora at St. Michael School was not amused.
In 4th grade my favorite movie/musical was doing a national search for Annie to star on Broadway. I made it to the rounds right before New York (me, a girl from a humble town in Hawaii!). Because I didn’t want to miss out on a field trip to the beach, I chose not to go. Ah, the easy decisions kids make, right?

Someone once said that there is no I in team, and whoever said that is absolutely right. As a team, people are more likely to get everything done at a faster pace.
Even today’s most successful people have a team that works behind-the-scenes.
For example, your favorite celebrity has a glam squad to help them look their best for the red carpet. Scientists and their assistants would examine experiments together. Or even when you go to the store, the manager has employees to help manage the store as he works on other duties.
No matter where you go or what industry you’re in, there is always some form of teamwork at work.
The entrepreneur is no exception.
