Why Small Business Owners Should Make Iterations Their Superpower

Iteration is your friend.

Iteration is your coach.

Iteration is your teacher.

If you don’t start, you miss out on all iterations have for you.

Why do so many miss out?

Because it takes a lot to put yourself out there and try the unknown.  To do the scary thing.  To put your creativity behind something and share it.  To put time and energy and money into something that might not work.

Do it anyway.  Iterate it!

Your first blog will be…bad…

Your first podcast will be…bad…

Your first e-course will be…bad…

Your first client consultation will be…bad…

Your first workshop you lead will be…bad… 

Your first merchandise line you design will be…bad…

Your first book you write will be… bad…

… compared to the hundredth one you do.

You won’t have it all figured out before you start.  You’ll have ideas, excitement, and a little bit of “the scaries”.  And, you do have everything you need to start.

Iteration can be your superpower.  The cost is perfectionism.

Make peace with…

  • looking stupid

  • not knowing everything

  • asking for help

  • learning as you go

  • getting it wrong

On the other side of reps is gain.


You are ready to start.

Start the thing you’ve been sitting on. Take the next scary step you’ve been delaying.  We are all waiting for it!
