When Perfect Isn’t

In mathematics, an asymptote is a fixed line a curve approaches but never touches.

This is how many of us pursue our dreams.

We want to write a book or a screenplay. We have a great idea for a business or a product. We want to try a new career.

We work on a manuscript.
We write up a business plan.
We work on our resume.

Instead of shipping, we keep working in private. We polish and hone. We wordsmith and edit. We keep approaching the line, but we never reach it.

What if you shipped this month? This day? Today!?!

It doesn’t have to be perfect. It won’t ever be. Perfect is the line you’ll never reach.

It just has to be good enough. Share something good enough instead of hiding until you reach perfection.
