I hope this email reaches you in a high-spirited, creative mode. I want to talk about perfectionism today because it's been on my mind a lot lately. Content creators often fall into the trap of striving for perfection before publishing. But trust me when I say that this mindset is preventing you from progressing as much as you may think.

​

I explore this subject in depth and offer some personal anecdotes in my most recent video, "Why Perfectionism is the SAME as Procrastination." I used to constantly battle perfectionism, which kept me from publishing stuff that would have been beneficial to a huge number of people.

​

​

The issue lies in the misconception that aiming for perfection does not equate to exerting your utmost effort. It's the idea that being flawless will shield you from criticism or condemnation. No matter how excellent your content is, someone will always criticize it. Attempting to please everyone will only hinder your progress.

​

What is the answer, then? Accept the journey. Begin where you are and work your way up. Your audience wants to see you for who you truly are, imperfections and all. They wish to get to know you and gain insight from your experiences. You will develop a devoted following that will be there for you at every turn if you present yourself in a truthful manner.

​

Keep in mind that perfection is a myth. It is unachievable, and striving for it will only result in frustration and burnout. Rather, concentrate on regularly publishing material, growing from your errors, and having fun. That'll set you apart and enhance your impact.

​

I would greatly appreciate your opinions and insights on this. Have you had difficulties with perfectionism while creating content? How did you get past it? Please respond to this email and inform me!

Before I leave, I would like to briefly mention Doc Popps, my new product. In addition to lowering plosives, these acoustic foam microphone covers also give you a more polished appearance while you record. Visit docpopps.com or docmerch.com to learn more about them.

​

For now, that's all. Keep in mind that done is preferable to flawless. Continue learning, continue creating, and most of all, continue being who you are.

Mahalo,
