Muscle Minute #157: Version 1 Isn’t Version 20

"Version one isn’t going to look like version 20."

If you’re starting something new, here’s a reality check: version one isn’t going to look like version 20.

A lot of people get into their first project, whether it’s a business, product, or even a workout routine, and they think it’s going to be perfect right out of the gate. They expect everything to be dialed in from day one—and when it’s not, they get discouraged.

But here’s the thing: perfection isn’t possible, especially in business. The key is to adapt as you go, make adjustments, and understand that things are always going to change. The day-to-day in business is unreal—things are constantly shifting, and if you’re not able to roll with it, you’ll get stuck.

I’ve seen so many entrepreneurs have wildly high expectations for their results while having too low of expectations for themselves. You can’t expect things to be perfect from the start—it’s all about the journey and the learning process.

So, if version one isn’t perfect, that’s okay. Keep pushing, keep adapting, and keep building towards version 20.
