This is brilliant. I think Sheryl Sandberg has a great philosophy “done is better than perfect”. I was with you 100% until you said “never be satisfied”. I think once you put in the work, you will know it’s good and it’s important to have the output ready, especially if on a client or personal deadline. I loved the part about seeking feedback and mentoring even at the top of your game. For years I have seen the opposite. I don’t think I’m at the top of my game but it was the people I sought out advice from who critiqued my work and also said I was an expert in my field. I didn’t call myself this, now I’ve gone half way between “guru and expert”, specialist. I don’t believe in competition anymore especially with specialists. A specialist is a specialist, is a specialist. Unique, unless they copy (as you said :). Thanks for writing this motivating piece.
