Is perfectionism holding you back?
Over the years, it certainly has done for me.
Creatives can easily be stifled by perfectionism, not publishing work until they believe it to be flawless…
Our work is an expression of ourselves, and the fear of it not being liked once published can be paralysing.
We ideate, create, edit, refine, craft, refine, edit, and finally produce. Hoping it's not less than stellar.
Inspired by , this idea has once again set me free to focus on the doing, the action. Repeating the process over and over and over and over again.
And in the repetition,
- creativity is refined,
- skills are developed,
- processes are automated,
- more effective work is produced,
(Even if it’s s**t to start with) in the long run the work gets better and better and so do we.
When it comes to content marketing, I'm prioritising reps over perfection.
The more, the more.
Another way to say it is - Practice makes perfect.
Get your content reps in.
