Do you define yourself as a perfectionist? Are you tired of perfectionism getting in the way? If you’re wondering how to overcome perfectionism, I did a quick mini coaching session for Ultimate Bundles (where I’m the featured guest expert for the month of May)... and I wanted to share these perfectionism tips with you, too!
This video training was in response to a solopreneur’s comment in that group. They said:
"I'm researching ad nauseam how to do something, because I'm more committed to doing it right than I am in having the results of it."
Are you feeling that way, too?
Do you tend to fall into the trap of being stuck in “learning” or “planning” mode, and do you find it challenging to shift gears so you can be more action-oriented?
That is totally normal.
