The Perfectionism Project

In this episode I’m interviewing Kristen Cain, a style coach and committed PGSDer, on all things perfectionism and Power Planning. Kristen heard me talking about PGSD on this podcast for an entire year before she signed up. Kristen listened diligently to every episode, worked hard to apply what she learned to her business and started to make progress with her perfectionism handbrake. If anyone was going to change their life with the help of the podcast, it was Kristen. During that year as a podcast listener she rebranded her business, created a new website, started offering mini styling packages and began showing up on instagram more often (though she still ghosted her followers from time to time). But in Kristen’s words, she was in a familiar place for perfectionists: “I was doing all the pretty, fun things so that I didn’t have to do the scary stuff that would actually help me be successful”. Here’s what happened once she joined…   Within 3 months of being inside PGSD, Kristen was planning properly as a perfectionist: ✔ Kristen had a clear goal that gave her direction, clarity and focus ✔ She created pricing that she felt confident in AND got her styling clients better results ✔ She started signing styling clients with her new packages and pricing ✔ And she made her investment back   Within 6 months of being inside PGSD, Kristen was having her most successful year in business (ever). She was consistently uploading videos to her YouTube channel every week, sending her weekly newsletter without fail, confidently promoting her services and was even approached by a random person at the grocery store who’d been loving her IG lives. And 1 year after joining PGSD, Kristen is signing $2,000 styling clients directly from her YouTube videos. This is something she never thought would be possible for her. This kind of growth is possible for you to… To build your business to $100k you need to get out of your own way. And anyone can learn how inside PGSD. If you resonate with what Kristen and I talk about in this episode - and what I talk about on this podcast - and you’re ready to get out of your own way then I invite you to join us inside PGSD.

In today’s episode, I interview PGSDer Jenn Baswick all about her Growth Goal and experience inside PGSD. Our most successful PGSDers are business owners who LOVE being productive and yet find themselves struggling to make the most of their time due to their perfectionism handbrake. And this was definitely the case for Jenn. Jenn is a registered dietitian and before she signed up for PGSD in December 2022, she’d tried everything she could to build her business. She invested in business programs to help her setup her business correctly and market it the right way plus she tried every productivity tool from to-do lists to time blocking to Asana to Notion.  And yet her business still wasn’t growing in the way she knew it could… Even though Jenn ‘knew’ what she needed to do, she wasn’t able to turn her knowledge into business growth - even though she was always busy working.   In today’s episode of The Perfectionism Project, you’ll hear from Jenn and I discuss… ✔ The hidden reason why to-do lists, time blocking, asana and notion didn’t work for Jenn ✔ All the ways releasing her perfectionism handbrake has made Jenn more productive ✔ When Jenn realised that releasing her perfectionism handbrake was a must for her business   Jenn also shares how PGSD helped her make double her revenue goal - all while navigating the transition from offering 1:1 services to a group program.

I know how scary it can feel to set a Growth Goal and go all-in on your business. 2018 was the year I got sick of getting in my own way and decided I needed to either go all-in or quit (and I was never going to quit). So I want you to know that inside PGSD you will be fully supported in setting your Growth Goal and showing up consistently for your business without burning out.

This episode is part 3 in a 3-part series on perfectionism. Perfectionism makes even the smartest entrepreneurs get in their own way. That’s why I’m releasing a three part series all about perfectionism - including the surprising truth that every business owner needs to know and the exact steps to follow to take control of your productivity. There are so many misconceptions about perfectionism that I didn’t even know I was a perfectionist when I first started my business! I thought that motivation problems, imposter syndrome and fear of judgement were to blame for the fact that I struggled to consistently promote my business and couldn’t get myself to consistent $10k months - even though I knew A LOT about how to build a successful business from all of the online learning I’d done. I slowly began piecing together that I was a perfectionist and that’s why I kept overthinking, procrastinating and burning myself out. It was also the main reason that I struggled to be consistent with my content creation and held myself back due to fear of judgement. After thousands of hours spent studying productivity systems, learning how the mind works and understanding the secrets of success, I was able to put together the missing pieces I needed. And I was able to grow my business to $100k per year and then $100k months and beyond. I’m sharing everything you need to know about perfectionism and productivity in this 3-part podcast series so you can break free of your business plateau and celebrate your first six figure year - without burning yourself out!

Do you ever feel like you're always busy working, but at the end of the week, you're left wondering where all the time went? It's time to take control of your productivity and work smarter, not harder. When you find yourself constantly working but not seeing much progress towards your goals, it's likely that you're not managing your time and productivity effectively. With strategic tweaks and adjustments along the way, you can steadily work towards achieving your goal of making $100k. As a perfectionist entrepreneur, you need a different approach to productivity than everyone else. Perfectionism is a strategy to avoid shame. It makes us (1) overthink, (2) procrastinate, (3) burn out, (4) have an all-or-nothing mindset and (5) fear judgement. In this episode I explore the five signs of perfectionism and how they can impact your productivity. Whether you tend to overthink, procrastinate, burnout, have an all-or-nothing mindset, or fear judgement, this episode will provide you with practical strategies to help you overcome these obstacles and make progress towards your goals. What works for others may not work for you, and you need a productivity approach that takes your unique personality traits and work habits into account. The truth is, nobody has taught you the productivity rules that apply to perfectionists. That's why I'm excited to announce that enrollment for my group coaching program, Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (PGSD), will open on 12 June 2023. By embracing a personalised productivity system that meets your specific needs and preferences, you can take control of your time, work more efficiently, and achieve your business goals without sacrificing your well-being.
