You know what takes guts? Putting out work that is ‘just ok’. And yet that’s the only way to get to the point where you’re putting out work that’s great.
.
I spent the weekend in tears because of some parts of my new store in St. Louis that are turning out not quite perfect.
.
Generally, the way to do a new thing right, is to first do it wrong. That’s been my journey the last 3 years trying to sell fashion. Every step I take is the wrong one, and also, leads to the right one. That takes guts.
.
I just got off the phone with The Amy that #theAMYskort is named after all her words were right, but hard to hear.
.
The gist of which was: “sometimes it doesn’t work out”.
.
There were also a lot of: ‘don’t you dare quit’s’ and ‘you’re so close’.
.
And then the kicker: “don’t overextend yourself if it’s unhealthy for you or your family.”
.
So Happy Monday - the punches to the gut mean we’re going in the right direction. We don’t want to be comfortable, because then maybe we aren’t making any progress. .
