Susan Koger, a creative entrepreneur, talks about looking back at your own work and cringing at it. She argues that vulnerability and learning from mistakes matter more than perfectionism, and that progress beats getting everything right the first time.
You. This has been a really important lesson for me as a creative entrepreneur. I think, especially as you start 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 100% perfect. And I don't think this is just, you know, when I say creative, I mean, like, I'm definitely. I. I spend a lot of my job and a lot of my time thinking about aesthetics and thinking about design and these sorts of things. But I think this is just as applicable to, if you're a coder, whatever you're doing, whatever type of product you're building, when you're starting out in your career, you 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 tastes are going to be better and you're going to know so much more and you're going to 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, it 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, no matter what, I'm going to get better and I'm going to look back and cringe on my earlier work, I think, is really freeing. So it's something that, you know, it's. 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 an entrepreneur. It's something I'm 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 it 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.
