This reminds me of the "make 100 crappy videos" YouTube goal. Your first 50 to 100 of anything is going to suck. And it's ok. Every time you do the thing you will learn something new and get better over time. Even if it's something small like typing slightly faster, developing better habits to get work done or learning what people like about you. It's the journey and all the connections you make along the way that matter :)

Also quantity versus quality.

So when I start something new, there's the awkward frustration and self-doubt, but you just have to grind and make it through :)

To all the grinders out there: we will make it one day!
