How Perfectionism Nearly Killed My Business
https://wideangle.co/blog/perfectionism-nearly-killed-my-business
Organic traffic to my product was non-existent in the first 10 months after launch. Marketing pages were almost non-discoverable.
The reason?
I got blinded in the pursuit of elegant engineering solution.
I relate to this so much! I battle perfectionism every day in the literary world. Is my writing good enough?! Can I edit this better? Having zero experience with engineering, I worry that I'm spending too much time learning and outlining and not enough time making real progress (like finding a Co-Founder who can code!). This article brings me reassurance and confidence. Thanks for sharing your experience, Jarek!
Cheers, Connor.
It was awkward to broadcast a post about a failure. But definitely worth it! :)
Perfectionist high five 🙏
Failure stories are much more relatable and inspiring than success stories. Not just my opinion but what I see in my work with authors. Keep sharing these stories!
