“If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late”
— reid hoffman
Simplified Meaning:
When you make something new, like a product or project, it's better to share it with people sooner rather than later. If you wait until everything is perfect, you might miss the chance to learn from others and improve your idea. Imagine a new bakery trying out a new cookie recipe. If they wait until they think the cookies are flawless before letting anyone try them, it takes too long, and they might miss out on important feedback from their customers. Even if the first batch of cookies isn't perfect and the baker feels a bit embarrassed, customers who try them can give useful advice on how to make them better. This helps the bakery improve the cookies much faster than if they had waited to make them perfect from the start. In your own life, whether you are writing a book, creating an app, or starting a business, it's beneficial to share your work early. It might not be perfect, and you might feel shy about it, but this is how you learn and improve faster. Don’t be afraid to show your early work and learn from the feedback you get. This approach can help you succeed more quickly and make better products or achieve your goals sooner.
