professional photos, fancy packaging, a polished website. That mindset kept him from ever starting.
One day, while looking at a simple bracelet he had made, he decided to let go of the need for perfection. He picked up his phone, placed the bracelet on his wooden table, and took a basic photo. No fancy lighting. No styled background. Just a simple shot.
He uploaded that photo to an online marketplace and told himself:
“What matters is starting—not being perfect.”
A few days later, he received his first order. That moment felt like a celebration—not because of the money, but because he realized that progress begins with action, not perfection. From that one simple photo, his journey began. Over time, he learned to take better pictures, improve his packaging, and attract more customers. But he never forgot that it all started with a single, imperfect step.
