💭 Why Is It So Hard to Launch Before It’s Perfect?
You’re not lazy. You’re not uncommitted. You’re just human.
Launching imperfectly is one of the hardest things a creative can do. Here’s why:
1️⃣ Fear of Judgment
“What if they hate it?”
Criticism feels personal when your work is part of you. But staying silent doesn’t make you safer—it just keeps your gift hidden.
2️⃣ Attachment to Outcome
You’ve poured yourself into this. Of course you care if it flops. But perfectionism tricks us into believing we can control the outcome if we just tweak it one more time.
3️⃣ Comparing to Polished Pros
You’re seeing the final cut of someone else’s journey—and comparing it to your first draft. But trust this: they started messy too.
✨ Real growth comes from sharing before you feel “ready.”
Your imperfect launch could be someone else’s inspiration.
