I’m doing something quite different in today’s episode…Rather than share a strategy, a how-to, case study, or campaign insights or stats…
I want to talk about something that’s holding so many of us back in our businesses. And that’s perfectionism. And the reason I decided to share it with you is this is something that I have struggled with. And the more I’ve shared it, the more people I hear from saying that they too struggle with it. And they ask me to continue talking about it...There’s a great quote by Brene Brown about perfectionism that says: “Perfectionism is not the same thing as striving to be our best. Perfectionism is not about healthy achievement and growth; it's a shield.”
I share this because I’ve realized that perfectionism is the cause of one of the biggest frustrations in my business -- speed of execution. It’s something I’ve struggled with over the last few years with the podcast, articles, creating video, writing emails, etc...You see, I have so many ideas and things I want to do, but they get bogged down by my wanting them to be “perfect” before they see the light of day. Some never even DO see the light of day. It’s a “shield”, as Brene says, that I use to keep my work from being judged.
