This has been a really important lesson
for me as a creative entrepreneur.
I think especially as you started out in your career,
it can be really scary to be vulnerable
and to put your work out in the world.
You want everything to be a 100% perfect
and I don't think this is just,
you know, when I say creative I mean like,
I am definitely, I spent a lot of my job and all of my times
thinking about statics and thinking about you know,
design and these sorts of things but I think this is just as
applicable to if you are a code or whatever you're are doing,
whatever type of product you're building like,
when you are starting out in your career,
you're are not going to be good and you
are hopefully going to get better,
which means that you're going to look back and your taste are
going to be better and you're are going to know so much more,
and you're cringe on your earlier work.
So, you have to just like get out there and do stuff.
This is one of my favorite quotes by the author Neil Gaiman,
like if you're making mistakes means
you're out there doing something.
And I think, it can be hard sometimes, right?
Like you want to just like,
you want to wait until it's absolutely perfect and I'm not advocating
by any means that you should not care very much about what you do and
not have like real attention to detail but I think that this like,
having this permission of like no matter what,
I'm going to get better and I'm going to
look back and cringe on my earlier work.
I think it's really freeing.
So, it's something that,
you know, it's one of those lessons that's like easy to listen
to and maybe to understand intellectually and it's harder
to actually put to work in your life as entrepreneur,
it's something I am still trying to work on and it can be tough
quite honestly to find that balance of like having that attention
to detail and not wanting to release anything until it's perfect
and just getting in out there and like knowing that it's going
to change and you're going to move on and you're going to look
back and you're going to cringe one way or the other.
