Should you publish work you’re not completely happy with? It can be hard to know if a project is ready to be launched or if it could use more tweaking. Sometimes you may have to decide if it should simply be scrapped altogether. Aaron and I discuss when you should be shipping, how to utilize time constraints to promote a consistent publishing schedule, and making practical use of perfectionism.

• 09:43 Should I publish work I’m not completely happy with?
• 15:04 Feeling like you always have to outdo yourself
• 21:15 The difference between 90% perfect and 100% perfect
• 24:24 Time constraints and the benefit of accountability partners
• 35:09 Publicly sharing a deadline as a motivator

Successful people fail way more than non-successful people ever dare to. They’re not content just staying safe and holding onto their ideas.
