Episode 189: Is Your Procrastination Actually Perfectionism in Disguise?

Are you flooded with new ideas and dreams? Maybe you have a
vision to start a business or launch a podcast. Maybe you have a
goal on your heart to become a coach or write a bestselling book.
These dreams can seem daunting. Where do you even start?


Plus, there’s a lot of fear to start something new that we care
about. What if it’s not as great materialized as it is in our
heads? What if it gets rejected or we feel like a failure? We
often procrastinate around things that seem hard – but it’s not
just procrastination at work here. It’s also perfectionism! 


Today’s episode will inspire you to take on your passion projects
by getting over your perfectionism, because the first phase of
creating something isn’t about making something perfect or better
– it’s about actually creating something in the first place.
