From the friendly caves of Pixie Hollow.
Ok, honesty time.
I'm a crazy-obsessed perfectionist.
I've learned to accept 80% instead of 100%.
In illustration of this, a story about a creative endeavour of mice.
Today was due to be the release day for a podcast audiobook I created titled Ultimatum.
Except, it's not mastered.
I travelled, had visitors, had epic technical difficulties.
Doing anything on a computer while baby sleeps is impossible because the light interrupts his sleep.
Perfectionist Me freaked out. The release date was strategic: 55 years to the minute after a significant historical event.
Only one episode was uploaded.
And it sounded like a toilet.
This felt like failure with a capital F.
But you know what? I released it anyway.
If people are going to be critical of the production values then, yes, that will burn.
But the important thing is that something was released when I promised it would be.
Sometimes you have to reimagine your definition of perfection. In any aspect of your market leading business, this flexibility can be the only thing that stops you getting sick with worry.
Audiences are forgiving.
And reality isn't black and white.
So cut yourself and your team some slack occasionally.
