Today, I want to make a case for doing bad work. As a perfectionist, I know this is not something you want to do. You want to do only your best work and have it reflect what you are capable of. But if you aren't willing to do bad work, you will never get good.
It’s essential to understand this concept as a perfectionist entrepreneur. I explain the concept in this episode, including sharing some examples from my own experiences with my business. I also discuss what happens when you do bad work and how you can support yourself in learning this new approach.
If you find you’re having a hard ..read more

In today’s episode, I want to share with you a tool that I have used to help me avoid burning out. I haven't burned out since 2019 and this tool has been a massive help. Not only does it support you to stop burning out, but it also helps you create the habits you want to have in your personal life and your business.
If you’re afraid of burning out (and that fear is stopping you from showing up for your business fully), this episode is for you. Press play to hear more about it, as well as the key to ultimately overcoming burnout.

In today’s episode, I want to share a mistake I see a lot of perfectionists make in business (including myself). I've actually been coaching on this a lot inside my program, Perfectionists Getting Shit Done.
And I want to bring it to your awareness, because if you are making this mistake, then it's going to be hard to grow the business the way you want to. And it's going to be hard to feel as fulfilled and satisfied as you want to, as a human being.
Tune in to hear me talk about this common mistake, so that you can begin addressing it and change your experience in your business.

I hadn’t thought to do an episode on how I built my podcast until my friend Alexander James (who I interviewed in Episode 340) started asking for the details. So I thought that I’d record an episode on how I built my podcast to 2 million downloads without following industry best practices.
This episode is about podcasting AND it’s about how you can be successful even when you’re not doing things the same way as everyone else in your industry - no matter what you’re working on. If you feel called to do things your way, this one’s for you.

Today I’m sharing a message that I recorded from the heart. It’s all about what it looks like to create the willingness to go all-in on your business, even if it’s scary. It’s a chatty episode filled with personal stories, a loving kick in the pants and an invitation to step into who you know you’re here to be.

In today’s episode, I interview PGSDer Jenn Baswick all about how overcoming perfectionism allowed her to double her revenue without burning out.
Our most successful PGSDers are business owners who LOVE being productive and yet find themselves struggling to show up fully for their business due to perfectionism. And this was definitely the case for Jenn.
Jenn is a registered dietitian and before she signed up for PGSD, she’d tried everything she could to build her business. She invested in business programs to help her setup her business correctly and market it the right way plus she tried ever ..read more
