Your Product is Stinky, But It’s Good Enough!

Ira Glass is a real master at getting to a good story. This video shows a little more insight into this skill, and made me feel a whole lot better about my efforts. My stuff is OK, but nowhere near what I envision it to be. Now I can see that this is a very normal thing.

Enjoy this segment and realize that you’ve got to ‘make your bones’. You have to do the work and practice to become expert and your craft.

Now the Mozart’s of the world will scoff at this and that’s Ok. For the rest of us it pays to get out here in the game and just do it. Don’t put off blogging because you suck at it. We all do [most of us]. Get busy and put together something and set it free. Seth Godin calls it “Ship It”. One of the criteria of his brilliant little book is to define “good enough”. At the target date, having reached that point, ship it – because, by definition, it’s good enough.

Is this post brilliant? Heck no, but it’s good enough!
