In this brief podcast excerpt, Speaker A shares a personal mantra—"you don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to become great"—and reflects on the struggle with perfectionism when launching a product. Initially, the desire for a flawless launch caused hesitation, but over time Speaker A realized that releasing an imperfect version and continuously refining it ("flying the plane and fixing it at the same time") leads to dramatic improvement. The dialogue underscores the value of taking action, iterating, and fine‑tuning rather than waiting for perfection.

Chapters

There's a saying that I love is, you know, you don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to become great.
Good. That's good.
So now it's like, I really go by that and it's like, but at first it was so tough because it was like, oh, well, I want to make sure this is perfect before we bring it out and do it. But after a while I knew it's like, hey, it's not going to be perfect and you got to put it out there. You know what, you fine tune it. You know, we've been kind of basically flying the plane and fixing it at the same time and updating it. And, you know, it's like refining, right? So it started off as this basic manual. And if I showed you the difference between the two today, it's like, oh my God, day and night.
Say the saying again.
No, you don't have to be great to get started, but you have to get started to become great.
There you go. That's what we should, that's what we should title this podcast episode.
