Ship the messy one: Why I don't let stuck videos block my momentum

Some videos don't flow. I can feel it while I'm recording.

The script is choppy. Takes aren't landing. Nothing connects right. I've done fifteen takes and it still feels off.

I used to keep trying to fix it. I'd waste hours on a video that just doesn't want to work, convinced I could make it perfect if I just tried harder.

Now I do something different. When I hit that wall, I stop. I take the best version I have, make quick edits, and ship it.

Here's what I've learned: I don't know which videos will work. Nobody does. Some videos I think are mediocre get thousands of views. Some I think are good get nothing.

So now I don't let one stuck video block my momentum. I publish it. Move on. Make the next one.

Momentum beats perfection.
