There’s No Perfectionism In Entrepreneurship

In this episode of The Mind of George Show, we’re tackling a big one—perfectionism in entrepreneurship. I’m sharing some personal stories, including a powerful lesson I learned from a pottery class that completely shifted my perspective. 

Spoiler alert: focusing on quantity over perfection can actually lead to better quality results. 

We’ll dive into why iteration and progress matter so much more than getting everything perfect the first time, and how taking action (even when it’s messy) is the key to success. Plus, I’ll talk about how tapping into community support can help you break free from those perfectionist tendencies.

Tune in and learn how to:

• Build resilience as a foundational skill for entrepreneurial success
• Let go of perfectionism to accelerate progress and execution
• Focus on needle-moving activities that drive real impact, not distractions
• Invest in relationships and connections, as they are far more valuable than any algorithm

And guess what? You don’t have to do it alone! Join us at our next event, November 14th-16th in Montana, where we’ll dive even deeper into these topics. 

It’s going to be a game-changing experience, and I’d love to see you there!
