Building Teki Solves: Why Messy Action Wins

I’ll be honest — when I started Teki Solves, nothing was perfect.

I had rough drafts, half-formed ideas, and more “figure it out as I go” moments than I can count. But here’s the thing: messy action beats perfect plans every single time.

Last week, I challenged myself to stop overthinking and just ship. I created something simple but useful:

👉 An Advanced CSS Selectors & Techniques Cheat Sheet — packed with real-world examples, best practices, and all the little tricks that took me years to learn.

I launched it with zero expectations. Yesterday, I hit 74 views. Not massive numbers — but that’s 74 real people who found value in something I almost didn’t put out.

Here’s what I learned:

  • People don’t want perfect; they want helpful.
  • Consistency creates momentum.
  • Every small win builds confidence.

If you’re building something, stop waiting. Launch messy. Fix it as you go.

Because the only way to learn what works is to put it in front of real people.

I’m going to keep building in public, sharing the journey, the lessons, and all the behind-the-scenes wins and fails.

👉 If you want to grab the cheat sheet I launched (and save yourself some headaches when styling complex layouts), get it here: https://tekisolve.gumroad.com/l/grjet

And if you’re building too — tag me or drop a comment. Let’s build together.

Keep it simple. Problem solved.
