One of the things I tell my teams most often is “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good.” The problem is, I’m not great at following my own advice.

So at 7:55 a.m. last Tuesday, when my test email never arrived, I started to stress. My newsletter launch was not going to be perfect! After a handful of pointless refreshes in Gmail, I hopped back over to beehiiv.

So much for launching on time!

One high-priority support ticket and several hours of agonizing later, my account was unlocked. Standard spam controls, apparently.

Issue 1 went live - 24 hours later than planned. Then, another imperfection surfaced, this one only in Apple Mail.

My first post was already proving its own point. We take the first step, not because everything will be perfect, but because it’s the only way to learn and make progress (and generate material for Issue 2).

After I accepted these two flaws, I got to thinking about other major launches. The iPhone you are reading this from is one of the most impactful inventions of our time.  Does anyone remember the first version? No App Store, no video, no media in text messages.  Hell, you couldn’t even copy/paste. Version 1 may be nearly unrecognizable to the product we know today, but we never get there without launch day.

And if I make it to Issue 12, I’ll have lasted longer than New Coke - with roughly 120,000 fewer complaints. Now there’s a milestone.

Nobody wants to fail. But to fail means you tried.

To trying and failing,

Jeremy
