Do you fret about why your own work never seems to be as good as what you read, watch, or listen to? Today’s episode is an important reminder for all of us: Don’t compare your first draft to someone else’s finished product. 

Rarely is a finished product created by a single genius working alone. Far more often, great work comes from collective effort, and our rough drafts are just the first tiny chip away at what ultimately becomes a finished carving.

⭐️ Permission: To hire a professional editor that makes you sound far better than your scrappiest rough draft self. 

⭐️ Do (or Delegate) This Next: To practice writing and getting feedback on a micro-scale, conduct an A/B test for headlines you're considering for an upcoming newsletter or course. You can even pay $50 to run it by total strangers on PickFu.
