Close Enough!

So what if I skimp on some of the small details of my business, so what if I only put in 80% effort into my latest creation, so what if I use a cheaper brand of produce in my restaurant.....Close Enough.  Who will notice.
This is the first step to the path of mediocrity and soon everyone will notice.
You might keep some of your business and clients, but not the ones who matter.  If you are doing what you do because it is your art, then most importantly you will notice.  No, close enough will not cut it.  Best to not start down that path as it is a dark road and full of others doing the same.  The path of quality and caring has lots of room and you don't have to worry about competition, most of them are on that short-cut of Close Enough!
