Serena Williams was a perfectionist long before she was a serious competitor on the tennis court.
“When I was 5 years old and in kindergarten, we had a project due and I was up late working on it, so late that my mom had to force me to go to bed,” she told me in an interview for SUCCESS magazine. “But I kept getting back up because I wanted to re-do the project until it was 100 percent perfect. Eventually, I fell asleep and didn’t get it done because I wanted it to be perfect more than I wanted to just get it done.”
