Embrace failure. Get out and Do Something.
- wmwong 15y agoI really like this post. It definitely speaks to me. I also like the fact that you're embracing your fear and posting it on HN for all to see. It's great to see you take action. Being a perfectionist, I sometimes stop for fear of criticism and more importantly, failure. I literally have a chat with myself in my head. I need to tell myself that it's good enough and that if it fails, I can fix it or move on. Perhaps it is this that the idea of the Lean Startup has also piqued my interest. It is both horrifying and exhilarating to fail fast. Unfortunately for me, unlike you, I have yet to take action.
- mrceedubs 15y agoThere is no time like now :) Notice that my actions weren't diving into my own startup. Maybe I'll get there some day. Any action is better than no action, even if it is small and/or doesn't "succeed." You have already told HN that you struggle with the same things I do. What is a next action that you could take?
