Almost Done Is 100% Not Done
August 24th, 2006 by Hal
Marlon Sanders, the father, the inventor of the two-page website, and one of the more successful online marketers, has three lessons for anyone doing projects. He says, "People mess up on the really simple stuff." Here's Marlon's rules of getting it done:
- Not done equals no dollars.
- Get one project done rather than 99 undone.
- Almost done is the enemy of done.
Done is beautiful!
Mitch Myerson, the Guerilla Marketing Coach, has hosted Marlon's 3-minute Getting it Done lesson on his website. Don't miss it.

I’d always heard this as an equivalence between “half done” and another short expression starting with “half”.

Marlon’s comments (rant) remind me of way too many things that I’ve started but not quite finished. “Half-xxxed” seems about right!
