Perfect doesn’t connect. Real does.

Perfect doesn’t connect. Real does.

Hours of tweaks no one saw.
And chasing after the perfect post.
I thought perfect writing built credibility.

Seeking sharp, clever, clear, and persuasive.
Something that lands and goes viral.
That’s not the way to get started.

It turns out normal writing works better.

Raw, unpolished, and most importantly — yours.
And you'll discover imperfect is just perfect.
Showing up before you're ready — okay.

Those imperfect posts?

That's your voice.
That’s you positioning your work.
That’s how to go about building credibility.

You’ve just got to write through the doubt.

Most will scroll past.
And some won’t.
That’s okay.

Just ship it.

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
