Your taste

The good thing about having a coach like mine is that every now and then she sends you these things to read and gives you a mental break. Just in case someone doesn't feel like reading that paragraph in English, I'm going to translate it like Frank Sinatra, my way:

"NOBODY tells this to those who are just starting out. I wish someone had told it to me. Everyone who works in something creative got into this because we have good taste. But there's a gap. For the first two years, you make things that just aren't that good. They're an attempt to be good, they have potential, but they aren't. But your good taste, what got you into the game, is still amazing. And your good taste is what makes you feel disappointed with your work. Many people never go beyond this phase; they quit. Most of the people I know who do interesting creative work went through this phase for years. We know our work doesn't have that special something we want it to have. We've all been through that. And if you're just starting out or you're already in this phase, you should know that it's normal, and the most important thing you have to do is work hard. Set deadlines so that you finish one piece every week. Only by doing a considerable volume of work will you close that gap and your work will be as good as your ambitions. It took me longer to realize this than anyone I've ever met. It takes time. It's normal for it to take time. You just have to fight your way through that phase."

On Thursday, we finished manufacturing all the prototypes for the new summer collection, which is late this year due to force majeure. We hope for two things: that she has good taste and that she has closed the gap.
