As a recovering perfectionist, I'm calling myself (and you) out in this episode. For years, I thought my perfectionism was my superpower - that spirit of excellence that would set me apart in business. Turns out, it was the very thing holding me back from the success I desperately wanted.
In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing why "imperfectionism" has become my new operating system and how it's revolutionized not just my business, but my entire life. From losing $12K in 15 minutes in the stock market to building multiple successful businesses, I've learned that consistent, imperfect action beats perfectionism every single time.
Here's what we're diving into:
Why perfectionism is actually a setup for failure (and what to do instead)
The counterintuitive truth about failed campaigns and why they mean you're doing it RIGHT
How I manage emotional highs and lows (a lesson from my $30K trading month)
The "reductionist viewpoint" that gave me hours back in my week
Why being prolific beats being perfect - and how to make this your new normal
The raw truth about how perfectionism was making me show up as "kind of an a-hole" with my family
The mindset shifts that separate successful online entrepreneurs from those who struggle
I get vulnerable about my own journey - including recent trading losses, client disappointments, and the humbling realization that despite thinking I knew everything about business years ago, I'm still learning every day from my mother, a multimillionaire mentor who taught me many of these lessons.
This isn't just another business strategy episode. It's about recognizing that how you do one thing is how you do everything. If you're paralyzed by perfectionism in your business, it's affecting your relationships, your creativity, and your ability to grow.
Whether you're waiting to launch that course until it's "perfect," sitting on content because it's not "good enough," or afraid to run ads because you might lose money - this episode is your wake-up call.
Key Takeaway: Good enough IS good enough when it's consistent. Your imperfect action today beats your perfect plan for tomorrow.
