Did you know that in your pursuit of perfection you could be standing in your own way of success? In some cases it’s true. In other cases, the pursuit of perfection is another method of procrastinating. Whatever your reasons for being “perfect” you need to relax your standards and allow yourself to push on forward.
While it’s true that you don’t want to give your clients less than your best, but you can also be frozen in place when it comes to growing your business. Do you think of items that you need to do… such as, sending out a monthly newsletter? Revamping your website? Putting together a brochure? Redesigning your logo? Putting together a new program to bring in more clients? The list goes on but you get the idea.
Many entrepreneurs think everything must be PERFECT in order to do anything and if it isn’t then they do nothing. Here are some ways to move past your perfectionism, get unstuck and move forward:
- Write down your ultimate goal
- Write down small steps you need to take to get toward your ultimate goal
- Work the steps
We’d never try to minimize the feeling you have of being overwhelmed, but if you break it down into bite-sized chunks, you can achieve your long term goals.
