I think it was Judd Apatow who said “You have to give yourself permission for the first draft to be shit.”

The hardest part of making anything is getting to the minimal viable product. Editing and refining and upgrading aren’t necessarily easy, but they are typically less daunting than staring at a blank page that you need to fill.

Problem is the business will often never let you improve it.

So you better not tie your self worth to the quality of the things you produce.
