# Seek feedback, not perfection Real-world feedback is invaluable. You can't predict how people will react. Whether it's your customers, your boss, your colleagues, your partner, etc. Seek feedback instead of perfection. While quality is of course important, there's often a point of diminishing returns where further improvements delay release without meaningful benefits. > [[Anytime you resist perfection and share your work, no matter the feedback, you advance in some way]] Mark the task as "Done". Tell others it's done. Hit "publish". Share your work. Don't add needless delays. Delays just push the feedback further down the road, and actually prevent you from making progress. Get your work out there. Do it now. Overcome your fear of criticism. Put your ego aside for a minute. Consider that feedback is invaluable. It's necessary for progress, growth, and success. The great thing about feedback is that it enables iterating *based on reality*, instead of made-up stories. ## Related - [[Shipping is crucial for learning]]
