Hesitation

Guilty.

Efforts to;

• be prepared, 
• make sure all ducks are in the row, 
• make sure there are no typos, 
• work towards finding the right audience, 
• discern what topics should be addressed, 
• make absolutely certain that content appears rational rather than foolish, 
• find acceptance rather than criticism, 
• launch at the exact right time,
• research completely
• keep postings to a two minute read
• check and re-check links and grammar
• format for a pleasant experience
• __________________ (I could go on and on)

Result in:

• No ducks
• No typos
• No topics
• No content
• No criticism
• No launch
• No postings
• No audience

Seth Godin says "Ship" which is probably as important (if not more important), than most of the "Efforts" listed above. What prevents shipping?  In a word - fear.  Things like rejection and ridicule can become the underlying cause of perfection seeking activities.

Generally, I've stayed away from the cultural taboo discussions; politics, age, money and admittedly with most people, my relationship with God. And then, I read Matt 10:

Shipping.

Right
