I'm reading about how to be a successful entrepreneur.
It's stuff I've heard before -- about making mistakes, about learning by doing (as opposed to learning and then doing)... about just doing.
And one line that hit me was "Expose your ignorance".
I think that's one of the things that just holds us back so unnecessarily. We have this image of perfection that we want to uphold. An immaculate reputation. An unattainable ideal.
So we hold back. And plan and analyze and research and get stuck in a vortex of confusion and uncertainty and second guessing. Analysis paralysis.
We're afraid to do anything until we know it's going to be perfect.
But we can't know it's going to be perfect.
In fact, we know it's not going to be perfect. Because we're not perfect. Nothing in this world is.
So rather than aim for something unreachable and set ourselves up for disappointment, we can just do. And be. True. To who we are.
