Understanding Devotion vs. Perfectionism

Devotion and perfectionism are two contrasting approaches in business that can significantly impact results and personal well-being. Perfectionism is characterized by an overwhelming need for flawlessness and excessive self-criticism, often creating stress, procrastination, and fear of failure. In contrast, devotion is driven by passion and commitment, focusing on growth, consistency, and valuing the process over perfection. Recognizing this difference can help entrepreneurs like Kristen shift from perfectionistic tendencies to a more devoted approach, thereby enhancing both their performance and enjoyment in their work.
