Nothing Starts Off Perfect. Start Now and Perfect Later

When have you ever started something new in your life? A new job, a new relationship, a new eating habit. Did you start all of these things flawlessly and perfectly? I doubt it. If you did, you are a rare and fortunate individual. If you are like me then things likely started off pretty bumpy with a lot of mistakes, setbacks, and hurdles to overcome.

Hacking your job– and your life– is just like starting a new career or habit. It is going to feel weird and uncomfortable at first. You might lose money in the beginning. You might feel like you’re not being productive. You might even just feel generally awkward. That’s the point. It’s okay to feel this way. Nothing in life starts off perfect, just get started and perfect it later.

Successful people always talk about how they found something they were passionate about and figured it out. Elon Musk hardly knew anything about electric cars or rockets when he started Tesla and SpaceX, but he perfected it and figured it out as he went. 

When you begin to hack different parts of your life it will feel awkward and uncomfortable in the beginning, but if you stick to it and learn what works for you, your life will drastically improve over time. I promise you.
