Podcast Episode 73: {Epic Mindset Shifts} Leaving Perfectionism In Your Wake

I’m going to share with you a mindset that a ton of entrepreneurs struggle with.

It’s the perfectionism myth.

I’m going to share with you a story about my mother and her INCREDIBLE party planning abilities.

Right now, it’s Mardi-Gras season which means taking king cakes to school and celebrating with friends. There are just tons of rituals and traditions wrapped around this season.

And my mom has the ability to throw an epic social engagement – truly unforgettable parties.

But recently, my mom started to feel stressed about whether it was going to be an epic experience. She started to doubt herself and worry about topping her last event.

She was becoming so consumed with making sure her events were absolutely perfect. I’m telling you this woman would climb to the top of magnolia trees to cut down branches and make beautiful centerpieces. That’s incredibly amazing!

Her expectations were high – so high that they trumped the NY Times and Emily Post.

Most of us have this type of garbage in our mind in regards to our own businesses.

Listen into Episode 073 and you’ll learn:

You don’t have to get it perfect!
You are the one with the highest expectations
“Perfect” doesn’t exist
You don’t even have to get it right, you just have to get started
It’s OK to fail…

With grit + gratitude,
