Sometimes you work on something because it fills a gap between what exists and what you think *should* exist. In fact, I think most of the great innovations were things people saw as "missing" from day to day life. When you choose to fill that gap you take a risk. You risk a wasting of your time, you risk rejection, you risk losing control to those who would copy, slightly improve and then claim as their own. What you don't risk however is settling. You elected to act - to bring your idea, your gift to others. As Seth Godin says, "you shipped".
Instead of pining about what could've, what should've, what would've, you simply did. You delivered.
You haven't waited for a focus group or a risk assessment - you've just put it out there.
Thank you for stepping into the unknown. I wish more of us would.
