Perfection: the enemy of Production

Many people tell me that they don’t create content because they are worried about what others will think of their content.

  • Will it be good enough?
  • Will people laugh at me thinking that my content is not good enough?
  • What if I’m wrong about something that I’ve produced?
  • Will anyone actually consume the content…?

If you keep on thinking about these things, you can find a million reasons to not start telling your side of the story.

On the other hand, if you stop giving a $#!+ 🤷🏼 and just start creating content, chances are that you will end up helping others with your content And you’ll feel good about the process.

Choice is yours of course and no one is going to force you to start writing that blog or that review on Google maps about a great restaurant you’ve been to or create a video showing something from your unique perspective that others could benefit from or so many other types of ways you can get your thoughts out there.

So what if you’re wrong about something? Try your best. That’s all any of us can do. As long as you’re genuine in trying to help others with your content, the consumer of the content will forgive you and appreciate you for trying.

I firmly believe that perfection is the enemy of production

Just go for it. And let me know when you do with a link to your content. I’ll check it out 😊

Why I decided to start this blog

Since the beginning of my professional career, I have been a teacher. I have always loved training and sharing information with others.

I found myself with lots of thoughts that I wanted to share but felt constrained by where I could share it. Of course I did not want to write my personal thoughts down on our business blog. That would not make sense. But then I could not write these thoughts on LinkedIn either since I consider that to be a professional network and random musings would not fit there either.

So this blog was born.

I hope to write on this blog on a regular basis. A lot of it is going to be my stream of thoughts so apologies in advance for any bad grammar or misspellings.

My hope is that the information on this blog is helpful to some people out there. Let’s begin.
