I did something today that I don’t normally do.
Just a couple months back I started creating a business audit every single month, and today I sat down and really looked at all of my business audits for the past couple months.
And you know what I did, I eliminated a lot of places where I was spending so much money on. Now you might be sitting back and saying why would I even do that?

So I found this little test from the BBC website yesterday and I don’t think I’m a perfectionist at all. I know of people who line up the edge of the ruler for 5 minutes before drawing a line and I’m more freestyle so I definitely am not a perfectionist.
So, i took this test
www.bbc.co.uk/science/humanbody/mind/surveys/perfectionism/
And..Let’s just say I think their test isn’t very accurate. C’mon, I’m not THAT much a perfectionist..
But who knows you may finally find a reason as to why
. you haven’t created your own product yet

Scenario: I’m going to make the smallest, best remote control ever! And, I’ll do it all myself so when I’m done..the world is going to look at me and go “WOW! What a genius! did it all himself (or herself)”
Problem: It’s boring being alone..You’re going to be excited about your ideas for 5 days then you’ll get lonely working on it alone. (Ok, there are exceptions when you reach a different level of passion for it but when you do..you also realize the importance of having other brains around you..that can help you) And the song by Akon - Mr. Lonely will start becoming the theme song for a long time.

Have you ever been called Engineer By the Day - Psycho by the night?
I’ll explain the reason for asking such a weird question but first…have you noticed how everything makes total sense if you are running an engineering experiment either in a lab or doing a “live” test to fix a problem? You intuitively know what to do and how to run the test even when you may not know exactly what to expect.
And, that’s the beauty of engineering. We go in, manipulate data and let the system tell us what happens.. Even “simple” experiments allow us to “discover” how a system reacts.
