We want to look polished.
We want to look ready.
That is why most people never start.
Ugly is the draft you publish anyway.
The shaky first Zoom call.
The first messy YouTube upload.
The words you ship before you feel prepared.
When COVID hit, my first Zoom appointment was a disaster.
Glitches, awkward pauses, clumsy screen shares.
Ugly.
But without that call, there would not have been a second.
Or a third.
Or the rhythm that came after.
Winners do not start polished.
They start.
Every Signal I write, begins that way.
Ugly, imperfect, alive.
Each one shipped. Each one stacked.
Improvement only happens in motion.
So what ugly thing are you willing to start today?
