Why is it so difficult to accomplish our goals? Too often our plans are abandoned before they can be completed, and the main reason is not the level of difficulty or the lack of time but it is perfectionism that gets in our way.  In his book Finish, Jon Acuff shows us how being perfectionists is a bad strategy because it makes us quit  our projects at the first sign of difficulty.
