You should be failing a little bit

Hitting 60-75% of a bold goal is already a huge success—it shows you aimed high and made real progress.

I learned this advice from my business coach and it's perfect for perfectionist founders.

Say, you set your company ambitious annual goals. And you hit 90-100% of them, ask yourself: Were they ambitious enough? Goals should push you, not just be easy wins.

Hitting 60-75% of a bold goal is already a huge success—it shows you aimed high and made real progress.

Failure isn’t a sign of falling short; it’s a sign you’re challenging yourself as a founder and growing your company. Celebrate the 75% and remind yourself: "You should be failing a little bit."
