Do You Need A Perfect Product?

When you are in business, potentially you can create jobs for people. That's how jobs are created. To many entrepreneurs, job creation is one of the best thing a successful business can offer back to the society. It fuels the economy too. When job ownership goes up, more people will have income which they can spend, hence do good to the economy.
You can choose to start a business on your own or partnership. In fact, there are many ways for you to start a business. You can buy a franchise, take over an existing viable business, network marketing, trading and etc. No matter what business you do, you know you are doing this for good. You truly see the good values of your product and services will benefit others. But do you need to have a product or service that is perfect before you can do business? I don't think so.
Does Microsoft's products have unidentified software bugs? I'm a Windows OS user. I know that this OS can do wonders but yet still have its limitations. Is it a perfect product? I would say no. But is it a good product in general? I would say yes. Did Bill Gates wait for a 100% perfect product before Microsoft start selling? The answer is no. Microsoft will address those limitations of its software in an on-going process. Software patches and updates are released as time goes.
Now, what message am I trying to deliver? What I'm trying to say is that you should not throw the white towel and call it quit if you realize that you have an imperfect product. If you quit just months after starting your business, then it speaks a lot of your limit. You can't handle adversity. As the big boss, you need to stay focus, set your expectation realistically, be patient and find ways to improve your products and services. Remember that you have a team of people working for you. You can't let them down. So the next time if you feel lousy because of such reason, think of the Microsoft's example which I quoted in here and choose to make a difference!
