I used to think I wasn’t perfect enough to be a perfectionist. And because I didn’t realise I was a perfectionist, I had no real way to start overcoming the procrastination, crippling self-doubt and overthinking that was keeping me and my business stuck.

Realising that I’m a perfectionist (and what that actually means) gave me a whole new vocabulary that has allowed me to change my life for the better – because it’s only when you realise you’re a perfectionist that you become empowered to overcome perfectionism.

In this episode, I’m opening up about my journey with perfectionism and the important points along the way. I can’t remember everything but I hope that what I share in this episode helps you understand yourself a little bit more.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real coaching conversation from a Perfectionists Getting Shit Done coaching call. I’m teaching on what to do once you spot a Perfectionist Pattern and how to avoid the shame spiral that can come with having more awareness around your own patterns of self-sabotage.

This is an episode I’ve referenced countless times since it was first published. It shares such an important lesson for all entrepreneurs, especially those who have been getting in their own way, that I had to share it again.

In this episode I’m helping you explore the areas in your business where you feel like you have your hands tied behind your back. These are the areas in your business where you have a deep desire to take action but aren’t letting yourself - either because of a past decision you made, a rule you unconsciously adopted or an expectation you’re placing on yourself.

Then I’m walking you through how to untie your hands from behind your back, update your decisions and let yourself freely create.

In last week’s episode, I talked about when following through with the plans we’ve made with ourselves can be an act of self-care - particularly when you have anything going on in your life that’s making operating at your normal capacity a challenge.

Today’s episode continues that conversation and I talk about when you determine that productivity is *not* an act of self-care and how you can create a sense of completeness even when everything isn’t done. Tune in to hear what that can look like for you.

By the end of this episode, you’ll learn how you can feel like you can switch off from work (whether that’s the end of a workday or right before a longer break) - even when the plans you had set for yourself weren’t complete. You’ll learn about developing the ability to say when enough is enough - and how to make that decision in an empowering way.

When is it an act of self-care for me to be productive and when is it an act of self-care instead to change my plans and take clean rest? Especially if you’re not operating at your normal capacity.

Tune in to hear about the questions that help me figure out whether to follow my plans or not, a trick I use to get myself to do the work I had planned and the highest act of self-care you can do for yourself in a similar situation. If you have health issues, family commitments or anything else going on in your life that’s making operating at your normal capacity a challenge, this episode is for you.

Tune in to learn the difference between selling from a place of self-doubt and selling from a place of self-trust and why this is such an important shift for perfectionist entrepreneurs to make. If you’ve been having a hard time making sales even though you’re posting pretty consistently, you’ve had happy customers and you’re working really hard on your business - this episode is for you.

I also talk about why perfectionists feel so much resistance around getting paid well to do work that is easy or enjoyable for them, why money mindset work is essential if you want to make more sales and what perfectionists need to take into account when improving their money mindset.
