The biggest hurdle with creative work is the fear that your work won't be good, and because of that, you shouldn't even bother starting. But if you just start, you'll realise those fears hold no ground. The work you make, even if it needs refinement, will be better than you think.

What's the best way to improve your creative work and, in turn be more creative? Well, actually DO some creative work.

But that's easier said than done, right? What if it sucks? What if you can't do it? What if you have no ideas? What if someone does it better?

There's one specific way of thinking that has helped me dispel these fears and feel a lot more pride and growth with my creative work. Let's discuss!

I'm Ben Cossy. I build LEGO creations and run a YouTube channel where I aim to inspire people to build their own awesome LEGO creations and find new and exciting ways to enrich people's lives with LEGO.

I've been building and discussing LEGO for over 20 years and have attended LEGO conventions around the world, where various creations I've built have won awards.

A lot of people ask me for tips to be a better builder or struggle to build and want advice. I often come back to this phrase: 'Version one is better than version none.'

Embodying this idea has helped me so much with my creative work, and I hope it can help you too.
