I read a lot of books that emphasize the importance of having core values or guiding principles for your business. Whenever I read about this topic, I always say to myself, “Well, that would be nice to have, but that’s just not how my business works.” The other day I was talking to a friend about getting a project released and I said, “Done is better than none.” In that moment, a core value began to take shape in my mind. Could it be that this has been a guiding principle I’ve been ignoring? Could this be why I get frustrated when there is an overall lack of progress or deadlines missed?

Excellence, not perfection, fuels growth.
Improving processes requires an end to the process.
Without limitations, our creativity suffers.
Ship or quit: When projects sit for too long, we get creatively constipated.
The audience can handle our imperfections and mistakes.
