minimum viable post (mvp)

Maybe you're someone who's always wanted to post. Who keeps saying they will. But still hasn't.

How long has it been? A week? A month? A year of almost?

I would know - it took me 2 years to post my first reel.

Because I was caught up in perfection. Letting it be the enemy of good.

I put a lot of weight into that first reel needing to be flawless, needing it to go viral and cement my identity (which looking back, was so unrealistic lmao)

I learned so much more in my first month of posting than I ever did in my 2 years of prepping and thinking.

The best way of learning is to do it yourself!

And with content, even a minimum viable post (the smallest / easiest-to-execute version of what you wanted to say — and still worth sending) counts - like this week’s newsletter, which is noticeable shorter, but I just needed to get the minimum viable words written to make this coherent. With some value.

And that’s enough.

Putting in the reps, even when tired, when scared, when unmotivated, compounds over time. The muscle is being trained through each exhausted rep. And even though this post may not go viral or be perfect, it is done.

And done is infinitely better than indefinitely unfinished.

So if you're starting out ~ make a promise and keep it. Commit to once a week. If that's a 5-second trial reel, fine. Keep the streak alive.

You got this :)

until next week!

P.S. Consistency is hard. That's why I'm building Vyra - an AI video editing tool that gets you from idea to final video, faster. If you're ready to actually start posting, I'd love for you to try it :)
