Excellent NOW Beats Perfect NEVER (Business, Leadership and Entrepreneurship)

Excellent NOW beats Perfect NEVER.

"Fortune favors the bold"—especially in business.

In this inspiring episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I sit down with Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group, to talk about what happens when leaders stop waiting for perfection and start showing up.

Whether it’s going live on video, speaking up, or leading by example, too many people hesitate because they feel like they’re not ready. But the real cost of waiting?

🚫 Missed opportunities
🚫 Unmade connections
🚫 Teams that hold back because their leaders do too

Theresa shares how modeling courage as a leader unlocks creativity, engagement, and momentum—and how showing up imperfectly is often the most powerful thing you can do.

Key Takeaways

✅ Perfectionism is the enemy of progress
✅ Leadership is about modeling courage, not just giving orders
✅ “I’m not camera-ready” is costing you real business opportunities
✅ Authentic presence builds trust, connection, and influence
✅ Action beats hesitation every time

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that—except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
