The Benefit of Low Stakes

Many professionals hesitate to share their work due to fear of judgment, believing their initial attempts will be scrutinized. However, the reality is that most people are not paying close attention at first, which alleviates some pressure to perform perfectly. This perspective can be liberating as it allows individuals to focus on the act of creation rather than the potential for viral success. By recognizing that few people notice their early efforts, individuals can take calculated risks without the weight of excessive expectations.
