The Perfectionism Project

Ep 138: How To Start


Listen Later

Getting started is one of the biggest challenges that perfectionists face. So in this episode, I’m sharing why it’s so hard to get started and what to do about it!

I’m sharing the lessons I’ve personally learned when it comes to getting started, a powerful analogy that will make getting started easier than ever before plus practical things to do if you can’t make yourself take that first step.

In This Episode You’ll Learn: 

  • Why we resist starting, even when it’s something we genuinely want to do
  • The question that always helps me get started and how to use it
  • My journey with getting started
  • An analogy that has helped me evaluate whether it’s the right time to get started 
  • Why starting is better than researching
  • What to do if you just can’t get started
