Hey... Nobody's Perfect!
The advantage of living in a sophisticated society is that we are surrounded by works of art, works of literature, machines, processes, and systems that are to all intents and purposes, perfect. The pursuit of perfection is surely a worthwhile goal, but it can have some unfortunate side-effects. The cases where teenage girls compare themselves unfavourably with the picture-perfect air-brushed models they see in magazines and develop low self-esteem as a result are well-known.
Simply The Best
We all benefit from mass communication, mass media and mass distribution. There is a great advantage in being exposed to the best of everything, including the most beautiful people, the most well written books, the cleverest pieces of software, and the most amazing technological advancements. The downside is that if we start to compare ourselves with the experienced experts and talented geniuses who have created these near perfect things, the mountain of perfection can seem impossibly high. So high that we don't even bother with an expedition, and give up any attempt to make it to base camp.
Practise Makes...
It's like saying, because I know I will never sing as well as Pavarotti. I won't take singing lessons!
It is easy for us to forget when we see a near perfect result that it may have taken many years of practice, many years of study, and many years of trial and error to reach that seemingly perfect state. The picture-perfect models have presumably been to the gym every day and starved themselves dangerously. They must endure the continual prospect of rejection, as they are paraded before auditioning clients like prize cattle at a county fair.
Pavarotti practised every day and was known to be a perfectionist when it came to rehearsals.
You are probably already familiar with the story about Thomas Edison. He saw his many failed attempts at inventing the lightbulb as merely successful steps on the road to triumph.
Worst Case?
Many people who want to make money online are stopped from creating what could be a cash generating Ebook by this pursuit of perfection. They think that what they create must be perfect for it to be valuable. But what's the worst thing that could happen if you were to write and upload an Ebook that wasn't perfect? The worst thing that could happen is that nobody would buy it. Nobody would read it and that you would learn from your mistakes. Your second Ebook would be much better. So that's the worst-case scenario.
Bestselller?
The best case scenario would be that your information was so useful and valuable that it didn't matter if your grammar wasn't perfect or your spelling was a little suspect. The best case scenario would be that because the content of your Ebook was so worthwhile it became a bestseller, despite not being perfect.
Stinkers Can Make Money!
If you need encouragement to start creating your own Ebook, surf the net and download a few examples of E-books that sell well. You will see that they are by no means all well written. In fact some of them are real stinkers! But they still sell like hot cakes, make money for their authors and deliver worthwhile and valuable information to their readers.
