For most perfectionists, it feels reckless—or even harmful—to publish ‘imperfect’ work unless a last-minute deadline forces our hand. Whether it’s content, a client deliverable, a sales page, or a piece of art, we don’t want to let go until it feels ready. And by ready, we mean perfect.
But this obsession with making everything perfect is what’s keeping you stuck. It’s exhausting. It forces you to rely on pressure and deadlines just to take action. It stops you from getting enough practice to become truly great at what you do. And it’s holding your business back from making sales, helping people, and growing the way it could.
I’ve built a successful business because I learned how to emotionally allow myself to put imperfect work into the world. I let my ideas meet reality before they feel perfect. Without this skill, I wouldn’t have nearly 500 podcast episodes and 3 million downloads. And this is something you can learn too.
Inside this episode, I’m sharing exactly why you struggle to hit publish, the perfectionist thought errors making perfectly good work feel flawed, and the practical things you can do to start putting your work out into the world without second-guessing yourself.
Getting out of your own way can’t wait any longer. That’s why I created Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (PGSD)—my productivity program for perfectionist entrepreneurs who are ready to stop overthinking, take consistent action, and build real momentum in their business without burning out.
The doors to PGSD close on Friday, 7 February at 11:59pm EST. Sign up now at samlaurabrown.com/pgsd and start showing up fully in your business.
