128 - Start Ugly: The Art of Progress

Today we take you behind the mic of our operation and share some messy things we’re working on.  In fact, this episode was recorded in that mess!     One of the most common reasons for people not starting or quitting too soon is the humbling frustration of not being an expert on day 1, or 100. It’s tough, especially when you’re generally used to being good at the things you’ve been doing for a while. Here’s the irony. The only way to get better is to push through that initial mess for as long as it takes.  Here’s the true story of how being afraid to start ugly hindered this show from growing for a long time.     Question of the day: What have you been wanting to start?  (Comment below or on twitter)   Essential career advice for ambitious young professionals.    Full show notes and other resources available at www.focusthefire.com   Connect with host on twitter @dalanv www.twitter.com/dalanv   Connect with show on twitter @focusthefire www.twitter.com/focusthefire       Support the mission: patreon.com/dalanv
