Ever find yourself trapped in the pursuit of the unattainable—perfection? In this episode, I talk about the seemingly noble quest for perfection that, in reality, can stifle the growth of even the most promising entrepreneurs. I candidly shared how my early life lessons have conflated our self-worth with reaching impossible standards and how this fixation on flawlessness often mutates into procrastination—a fear-driven response that locks us in place, hindering pivotal business decisions. This episode is an eye-opener for anyone ready to understand the patterns that may be holding them back, both professionally and personally.


Episode highlights:

(1:47) The idea of perfectionism

(3:51) Why is perfectionism a problem?

(5:04) Procrastination is based on fear

(9:53) How we get over perfection

(13:55) Progress over perfection

(16:50) Outro
