There are lots of common sayings you hear in the OR. One is “all bleeding stops eventually.” Another one is “the enemy of good is perfect.” Trying to make things perfect, we often screw up something really good. We take a well-reduced fracture with plates and screws in place and take them all out to try and make it perfect, and we turn the bone to mush with too many drill holes.
As you close the uterus during a c-section, the uterus inevitably bleeds from the incision line. We put more sutures in to ligate the bleeding, but half the time when you poke the uterus with a sharp pointy piece of metal, surprise, it bleeds. Sometimes trying to make it perfect is a mistake.
Using perfect as a benchmark can cause lots of problems.
The other side of the coin is thinking, “If I can’t make it perfect why bother.”
Take your finances and your loans for example. Most people know that their finances are a mess, so they don’t even want to get started. They won’t even look at them. “They can’t be perfect, so I won’t bother to make them good.” Everything is all over the place, and it’s just too scary to get started because it can’t come out right.
In “The Physician Assistant Student’s Guide to Money: From Broke to Debt Free and Beyon,” I introduce a way to get ALL of your finances onto one clean sheet of paper, so that it’s so clear a kindergartner could understand it. You could do it with a crayon. It takes a little work to set it up, but once you do it’s so obvious and clean. I’m not saying that you’re going to love the numbers on that piece of paper, but it will give a framework to start building real wealth.
Maybe my favorite part of this book is where I show you the equation for True Wealth, and it becomes a little more obvious how to get there. It also gives you a framework for how you can start the minute you read it, even if you aren’t making a penny.
