So I recently created a particular content type, it was my first in this niche, so I sent it to some of my friends and I was complaining about how it seemed less than perfection and she said something that stayed with me. She was like “the imperfect bits are what makes it content” and it clicked. The minute I crave perfection over enjoying the very thing I do, it becomes a chore and loses its magic.

We have come to worship doing things perfectly. A poet I love would say no moment is ever perfect or completed because no one truly wants to be finished. Growth hates finality. 

That was when I thought about idea capital.

Idea capital is not how polished your work is. It is not how flawless the delivery sounds or how clean the output looks. It is the courage to put your ideas out there while they are still breathing. It is choosing movement over mastery. It is trusting that ideas grow value when they are expressed, not when they are hidden and overworked in your head.

Every time you wait for perfect, you are spending your idea capital on fear. Every time you share imperfectly, you are investing it. Ideas compound when they are used. They get better with exposure, with feedback, with repetition.

The magic is not in getting it right the first time. The magic is in starting. In showing up. In allowing your ideas to live loudly and imperfectly.

Create. Share. Learn. Repeat.

That is how idea capital grows.
