8 tries.

You might admire this person on my team.

She wrote an email intended for our customers. She made 7 attempts and failed each one. The emails were too long, and didn’t communicate value. She finally nailed it on the 8th try.

I admire this person because of their grit. She didn’t want inputs because she wanted the opportunity to get back and try again; each time sharpening herself.

She felt surprised to see 8 submissions all together, and nearly 100 back and forth messages.

I saw nothing but 8 lessons learned, 8 at bats, 8 moments of resilience — I saw the fight within her.

Perhaps you share a few of her traits?

I love and hate it.
