"A bad idea with great execution is better than a great idea with bad execution."

And bad execution means no execution.

Because how are you going to get publicity if you have no execution?

There's no such thing as someone that has had "bad execution" when they knew they were doing their absolute best in the moment. Because even if they get entirely negative reviews, they then realize that X should have occured, or Y should have been done at this point in the publication.

Execution is about action. As soon as you have your first execution, you may choose to refine it, or publish it as it is.

But refining it should not be synonymous with "gee I have refined this to perfection, it better get positive reviews now!"

No. It should be equivalent to knowing that you got rid of previous mistakes evident in what you're about to publish. Don't expect to get 100% great reviews. The goal is to affect peoples' lives in a positive way. And most of the time, there will always be a Slowlaner lurking in the shadows.

Agreed! Took that advice to heart and said "I'm tired of looking for the PERFECT product to import" so today I went ahead and got samples of products from three manufacturers. Will they be "THE ONE"? Probably not, but I'm a hell of a lot closer to that than I was before!

Similarly, I decided to make a review of a product and post it on YouTube. I can't even remember what my previous thoughts were, but I was impeded by fear and inaction. I just decided to "press record" and record a 4-minute video.

I re-watched the video and it looked amazing! I'm actually better than I thought. I then decided on a brand name for ME, INC. before uploading. Before the few moments that I decided on it, I thought, "No way. People won't take you seriously."

Then, I thought, "but people will find my name interesting and base the reviews off my material." (This was the case when I had another YouTube channel.) So I did it: I claimed my name on all social media and bought a domain. I'm locked in.

Ready. Fire. Aim.

That's my motto in life. Just get started and figure it out along the way. If you try to plan every outcome you'll get stuck in "analysis paralysis".

That's been my experience.
