Perfectionism doesn’t show up when you’re almost done. It shows up before you even start.
If you’re stuck tweaking, planning, overthinking, or waiting until things feel “right,” this episode explains exactly why and how to move forward without forcing motivation or burning yourself out.
Most people think perfectionism is about caring too much. In reality, it’s about trying to decide what you *should* do instead of asking what you "can" do.
Creators, founders, artists, and high performers get stuck when vision turns into "should." That’s when action dies.
In this episode, I break down:
• Why perfectionism blocks action before execution even begins
• The difference between ideation and experimentation
• Why great musicians, artists, and founders don’t chase perfect
• How to move from suffering-through to enjoying-the-process
• Why mastery starts when you stop forcing outcomes
