145 - Why Perfectionism is Holding You Back (And How to Move Forward)


Listen Later

In this episode of the Healthpreneur Podcast I‘m talking to (some) of our awesome team about perfectionism.

I’ve got Amie, Jackie, and Stephanie with me for this episode and we’ll be discussing perfectionism and, more specifically, why it is holding us back. 

We are hoping that this conversation will give you guys a couple of ideas and strategies to help you get stuff done instead of getting stuck due to perfectionism and the need to make everything perfect. 

We had a really honest and open conversation in this episode. The team shared their own struggles with perfectionism and some very practical mindset shifts your can make. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to be perfect, you’re going to get a lot out of this episode!

In this episode, the team and I discuss:

  • How we only want things perfect because we want the approval of other people.
  • How perfectionism & procrastination delay us from reaching and helping the people that we want to serve.
  • Using the tools you already have to get started and get your work out there in the world.
  • Why you shouldn’t care what other people think. You're good enough and that's awesome.
  • Why being yourself is so important.
  • Yuri shares one of the scariest moments of his life.

2:00 - 3:00 - Why do we strive for perfection?

3:00 - 12:00 - How the need to be perfect will paralyze you into not getting stuff done or never even starting them.

16:00 - 17:30 - If you're a perfectionist or you're striving for perfection you're gonna procrastinate.

20:00 - 28:00 - Some of the signs or symptoms of perfectionism that the team has noticed in clients.
