Title: Perfection is this what it's all about ?
Post by: Window Washers on December 15, 2012, 10:26:48 am

Nope. Clean to an acceptable standard. Exceptional for certain customers. And my house.  :)

Only trouble with being a perfectionist is; you are never happy !

I am a bit of a perfectionist. I think newbies need to be to some extent. Not that I am a newbie anymore, but I am still looking for work actively.

In the wfp game there is no time for perfectionists. A perfectionist would wfp the whole house, wait for it all to dry and microfibre all the tiny specs that accumilate. Would be spending ages getting all that annoying grit out the window ledges.. Where as a regular wfpoler would be more of a splash and dash man like myself where they have the confidence that the customer will be happy with the work carried out.

A perfectionist would get a third to a half done in a day compared to a confident guy just bashing it out.

Thats my view on it anyway,

Pefectionism has a cost attached to it, both emotional and monetary.

Good enough, is good enough; the trick is to know what is good enough.
