Be the third type of creator

Building things takes a long time.

And you probably know that there are three ways to build:

First, the rusher. These folks feel anxious about not having shipped yet. They’re afraid of what others will say, so they ship rushed junk.

Second, the perfectionist. These folks don’t build. They think about building, afraid to put a foot wrong. They ship nothing.

Third, the sustainable. These folks build at the pace that works for them. They don’t rush, nor do they over-think. They just do.

The third type gets things done they’ll be proud of.

The third type then gets to focus on spreading the word, one drip at a time, at their own pace, as people find their work in their timing.

Their work may explode, or it may not. They know that things only explode because of random, FOMO, or because the work was good enough and the timing just happened to be right.

They don’t rely on explosions. They don’t fear the opinions of others. They simply doing the work.
